The BEST of BOHOL, PHILIPPINES: Day Tour, Panglao Island Hopping and More!



When we talk about Bohol, people will first think of those hills that look like perfect mounds of chocolates - the "Chocolate Hills" or those little primates that will perfectly fit in your palm - the "Philippine Tarsier". But these are actually just few of the many attractions and natural wonders that this beautiful, well-blessed tourist destination in Central Philippines has to offer.

Bohol is an island province (with some minor surrounding islands) in Central Visayas Region in the Philippines, with Tagbilaran City as its capital. It is accessible by both air and sea transfer, either to take an hour flight from Manila (Airlines: Cebu Pacific, Philippines Airlines) or take a ferry departing from neighboring cities like Cebu City or Dumaguete City. Accommodation in Bohol won't be a problem as you can choose a variety of it, from budget class to mid-range to high class hotels either in the city center (Tagbilaran) or beach-side vacation (Panglao Island).
