— What You Can Expect —

Your Bohol Island journey won’t be complete without visiting its spectacular marvels. Bohol Island is the home to the famous Chocolate Hills, the smallest primate in the Philippines (Tarsiers), some of the most magnificent beaches, and so much more! After leaving Panglao Island, we’ll visit a boutique salt-making workshop that has been making salt in a traditional manner unique to Bohol for generations and learn about local livelihoods and traditions. We’ll then continue to the Chocolate Hills before it gets packed with tourists for the best available view of the 1,776 almost identical hills. Alternatively, you can also choose to see the hills via a thrilling ATV ride! After visiting the Chocolate Hills, we’ll drive to the famous Tarsier Conservation Area through the Bilar’s Man-made Forest. We’ll then have a Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) activity on the Loboc River. Finally, just before sunset, we’ll have a quick visit to Baclayon Church, one of the oldest churches in the Philippines made out of coral stones and egg whites, before heading back to Panglao.
