Itinerary

Day 1: A Firefly Boat Cruise & the Island’s Most Popular White-Sand Beach

Stop At: Alona Beach, Philippines
When traveling from abroad to the Philippines, Manila is usually most tourists’ first point of arrival. It is recommended that you avoid the capital altogether and instead simply use its airport as a layover en route to the island of Bohol. Upon arrival to the island’s capital, Tagbilaran, we drive to the settlement of Panglao. This is our base from which to explore the island and where our lodge is located. We will be hanging out at Alona beach. About 1,500 meters (1,640 yards) long and lined with palm trees, resorts and shops, the white-sandy Alona beach is popular both day and night.
Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Abatan River, Cortes Philippines
Your tour with us today starts officially at 5:15pm. Please be in the lobby at this time, as your tour guide and driver should be waiting for you there. We are taken by vehicle to the Abatan River Community Life Tour. There we go on a firefly boat cruise. Probably you have never seen something like this before. The tour starts shortly after arrival. Afterwards, we return to our hotel.
Duration: 3 hours

Pass By: Abatan River, Cortes Philippines
Although virtually all activities on this multi-day tour are shared with other travelers, we can make the trip almost completely private, per your request. Typically, the only private activities are the visits to two waterfalls near the city of Dumaguete.

No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: Hotel Room Bookings & Upgrades Offered After Tour Has Been Purchased

Day 2: Chocolate Hills, a Tarsier Sanctuary & a River Cruise

Stop At: Tarsier Botanika Km. 16 Hoyohoy Tawala, 6340 Philippines
We are exploring Bohol Island. Specifically, we see Loboc River (for a cruise), Tarsier Sanctuary, Chocolate Hills, Habitat Butterflies Conservation Center, Bilar Man-Made Forest and Baclayon Church.

The highlights are Loboc River, Tarsier Sanctuary and Chocolate Hills. Chocolate Hills’ unique and mound-shaped formations are Bohol’s most popular attraction. During the dry season, the grass-covered hills turn chocolate brown in color. This transforms the area into seemingly endless rows of chocolate kisses. Another highlight is a visit to a sanctuary to see endangered tarsiers. These primates can only be found on a few islands throughout Southeast Asia. Not least is a boat cruise along the Loboc River. Lunch is included in this boat cruise tour.
Duration: 1 hour
