About this experience
• An hour’s drive north of Dumaguete brings you to Bais City, where an oversized outrigger motorboat will cruise you along Tañon Strait to spot dolphin’s and if lucky, Whales too! You will also visit the Campuyo White Sandbar where you can swim and snorkel in it’s clear blue waters, or just laze around the fine white sand beach. • Cap off the morning with a hearty lunch onboard of mixed grill • Headback to Wharf by noontime and proceed to Sibulan. • Tucked 850M above sea level, northwest of Dumaguete, the Twin Lakes of Balisasayao offer scenic views and excellent nature hikes. Spend the afternoon kayaking or paddling on local banca, or trek your way through a 30-minute rock trail around the Lake. Bring a windbreaker or jacket as the weather can be completely different, with the air much cooler and almost always, some shower.

Dumaguete Manjuyod Sandbar & Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cebu.
How much does Dumaguete Manjuyod Sandbar & Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cebu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dumaguete Manjuyod Sandbar & Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cebu is not rushed.
Is Dumaguete Manjuyod Sandbar & Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cebu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dumaguete Manjuyod Sandbar & Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dumaguete Manjuyod Sandbar & Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Dumaguete Manjuyod Sandbar & Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cebu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cebu and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dumaguete Manjuyod Sandbar & Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cebu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cebu?
+
On Outty we rank every Cebu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale Shark & Tumalog Falls & Sumilon Sandbar & Pescador Island with Sardines, Canyoneering in Kawasan Falls with Lunch (from Moalboal), Whale Watching in Sumilon Island with Ocean View Resort Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cebu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cebu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
