Meet the people of Pamilacan and visit the historical Spanish Fort the Santa Cruz, built by Spaniards 200 years ago. Enjoy the white sandy beaches and the bountiful marine environment of Bohol Sea. Experience island-living in the Philippines.
The small island of Pamilacan is nestled in the heart of the Bohol Sea,
the Visayas Archipelagos in the Philippines. Its name is derived from the word pilak, which is a large hooked implement made and used by the islanders to capture manta rays, whale sharks and bryde's whale.
Pamilacan is a coral island and fossilised seashells can be seen on the island's rocky hill. At present, the jaws and bones of marine mammals and whale sharks still adorn a number of homes of the village. The blue waters surrounding the island teem with lush and colorful marinelife.
Commonly encountered species
The marine realm in the vicinity of Pamilacan provides whales and dolphins with the ideal refuge. There are no guarantees that one will definitely experience the thrill of seeing dolphins and whales during the trip.
However, looking for these great animals has become a not-so-difficult task given the fact that the area has for centuries been their natural
habitat. Furthermore, honed by experience, the keen eyes of the spotters on each boat constantly check the surface for tell-tale signs: a sudden splash, a break in the water, fins, tell-tale sea birds.
The marine mammal species most commonly found around Pamilacan Island are the Risso's dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, pantropical spotted dolphin, long-snouted spinner dolphin, Fraser's dolphin, melon-headed whale, short-finned pilot whale, sperm whale, and the Bryde's whale.
Among the species that are less frequently seen are the pygmy sperm whale and Blainville's beaked whale. Other non-marine mammal species encountered in the area are manta rays and whale sharks.
We bring you the best dolphin and whale watching experience in Bohol, Philippines. The spotters and local guides are the former hunters of dolphins, Bryde's whales, whale sharks and manta rays of Pamilacan Island. They abandoned the centuries-old hunting tradition and participate in the new alternative livelihood program. They now serve as stewards of the sea.
Help us create an atmosphere where people live in harmony with nature.
