Koror/Bohol/Munich, January 24, 2018 – Divers looking for a dive vacation in the Indo-Pacific can now enjoy exclusive benefits when booking a combination of a stay at the Central Visayas in the Philippines and the Pacific archipelago of Palau.
Sam's Tours Palau An attractive offer awaits divers looking to combine interesting destinations to get the maximum out of their long-haul dive vacation in the Indo-Pacific, as Magic Oceans Resort in Bohol, Philippines and Sam’s Tours along with selected hotel partners in Palau join forces to make the booking for tour operators and customers alike as easy as possible. The combo package offers attractive perks, such as a free massage and an upgrade to unlimited diving in the Philippines and free rental gear and unlimited diving at Sam’s Wall in Palau.
Bohol is famous for its incredible critter and macro life on reefs that literally are a footstep away from the resort’s dive centre, right at the house reef. Blue-ring Octopus, Pygme Seahorses and Harlekin Cleaner Shrimp are only a few to name on the bucket list of divers and underwater photographers as well. Coming to Palau, the photographers will need to get their wide angle lenses out to capture the steep walls with sharks hunting, tunas and mackerel in big schools and the rich history of World War II wrecks – a combination that constantly gets Palau voted among the top ten dive destinations on the planet.
Desiree Pullens, Owner of Magic Resorts Philippines is looking forward to the new partnership: “Like Sam’s Tours, we have a lot of repeat customers who frequently seek something new when coming out to the Philippines. With our combo package with Palau, we can now direct them to a complete new destination and dive experience while making sure the personal style of Sam’s Tours matches the experience our guests know from staying with us.”
Marc Bauman, Vice President of Sam’s Tours Palau, adds another angle: “Palau is famous for protecting sharks and the environment and customers can be asserted to encounter a pristine paradise here. A fact that sadly does not hold true for all areas of South-East-Asian countries. By choosing to partner with Magic Oceans in Bohol, we know that we are providing a seamless experience with regards to clean and clear oceans and working with someone at eye’s level who takes customer satisfaction as serious and important as we do.”
Rates start from US$ 1.560 per person in the Philippines and US$ 1.406 in Palau and include seven nights accommodation and five days of diving per destination plus additional services such as transfers, meals, and excursions. The best airline for this combination is Asiana Airlines, who provides direct flights from Incheon/South Korea to Koror/Palau and Manila in the Philippines. From Europe, Asiana Airlines flies from Frankfurt, Paris and London Heathrow to South Korea.

About Magic Resorts Philippines
The management of Magic Resorts, Arie Hoogendoorn and Desiree Pullens, opened the first resort of Magic Island in Moalboal, Cebu on January 2, 2005. Over the years, Magic Island became very successful and the Dutch couple decided to open a second resort. A suitable dive site was carefully sought, land was purchased, construction plans were made and Magic Oceans opened its doors in Anda, Bohol on July 1, 2015. Both resorts run their own dive operations with 5* PADI IDC Dive Centres offering courses up to instructor level.
