Where do Bohol tours start?

Most start with pickup from hotels in Panglao. The private countryside tour also collects from Dauis and Tagbilaran, and one day trip starts in Cebu City and crosses to Bohol by fast ferry.

Yes, at a tarsier sanctuary or conservation area on the countryside tours. Tarsiers are nocturnal and rest in the trees by day, so visitors keep quiet and do not use flash.

Which fees are paid on the day?

It depends on the tour. The shared countryside tour has site entry fees of PHP 500 per person, and the island hopping trip an environmental fee of PHP 500. The private countryside tour includes the main entrance fees.

Can I visit Bohol from Cebu?

Yes. Our day trip from Cebu City includes pickup, the fast ferry both ways and lunch on the Loboc River. It is a long day of about 14 hours.

Our most recommended things to do in Bohol

Bohol is an island in the central Philippines, known for the Chocolate Hills, more than a thousand rounded hills that turn brown in the dry season, and for the tarsier, one of the smallest primates in the world. A day in the interior usually combines the Chocolate Hills viewpoint in Carmen, a tarsier sanctuary, the tall mahogany trees of the Bilar Man-Made Forest and the Loboc River, where boats serve lunch on the water. Closer to Tagbilaran stand Baclayon Church and the Blood Compact Monument.

Most visitors stay on Panglao, the smaller island joined to Bohol by bridges, with Alona Beach on its south coast. From here boats leave at sunrise to look for dolphins and to snorkel with sea turtles at Balicasag. Inland, waterfall days lead along jungle trails and past rice terraces. If you are staying on Cebu instead, a long day trip by fast ferry to Tagbilaran takes in the main sights and brings you back the same evening.

Our own local guides lead every tour in English, and most tours include pickup from hotels in Panglao. Some sites charge entry or environmental fees in pesos, paid in cash on the day; each tour says which. Prices are estimates and are confirmed with your booking.
