FAQ
The Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary is located in Corella, Bohol, which is easily accessible from Tagbilaran City. It operates daily, typically from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Visitors can observe the tarsiers in their natural habitat within designated viewing areas. Ensure a quiet approach to avoid disturbing these nocturnal animals.
To protect the tarsiers, strict rules are enforced. Visitors must maintain absolute silence and avoid flash photography, as tarsiers are nocturnal and easily stressed by noise and light. Touching or handling them is strictly prohibited, as this can be detrimental to their delicate health and survival. Observe them respectfully from a distance.
The entrance fee generally provides access to the sanctuary's designated viewing trails where you can observe tarsiers in a semi-wild environment. It contributes to their conservation and care. You can easily arrange a visit as part of a countryside tour, which often includes transportation and a guide for a smooth experience. Booking through KKday offers convenient package options that cover multiple attractions and transportation, saving you planning time.
The sanctuary focuses on protecting the Philippine tarsier, an endangered species. Efforts include preserving their natural habitat, educating visitors on their unique biology and threats, and rescuing/rehabilitating injured tarsiers. The sanctuary ensures minimal human interference to allow tarsiers to thrive in a safe, stress-free environment, crucial for their breeding success.
The Loboc River Cruise typically involves a scenic boat ride along the tranquil Loboc River. Guests enjoy a buffet lunch, often featuring local Filipino dishes, while being serenaded by local musicians. The cruise offers picturesque views of the lush riverside scenery, including palm trees and traditional houses, providing a relaxing and culturally immersive experience.
