Things to do in Bohol

The snorkeling experience in Panglao was pretty good overall, although there were quite a lot of people, the water was a bit cloudy, and there were fewer sardines than we expected. A huge thank you to Alan for taking such good care of us! The photos and videos he took will give us wonderful memories to look back on for years to come. And a very special thank you to Alan for helping me find my GoPro after I accidentally dropped it in the water. My hero, Alan! 🙌 He is definitely my #1 recommended guide. If I could give him ten stars, I would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended! 教練：

We had an amazing countryside tour in Bohol with our driver, Manuel, and I highly recommend him! Manuel was incredibly informative, patient, & attentive throughout the trip. He shared interesting facts about each destination. Our adventure started at the breathtaking Chocolate Hills, where the kids had an absolute blast riding the ATVs—it was definitely one of the highlights of the day! We then visited the Tarsier Sanctuary, which is a must-see when in Bohol. We made a quick stop at the beautiful Man-Made Forest for photos before heading to the Loboc River Cruise. Lunch on the Loboc River Cruise was fantastic. The food was delicious, the riverside scenery was stunning, and the live entertainment from the singers and dancers made the experience even more memorable. We ended the tour with visits to the historic Blood Compact Shrine and the beautiful Baclayon Church, the oldest church in Bohol. Thank you, Manuel, for making our trip so enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommended!

This package included lunch, and breakfast was a simple bread and Sprite. I especially loved the barbecue on the boat. I booked this boat specifically after seeing a blogger's barbecue, which saved me the trouble of asking around once I got there. The communication before departure was very smooth, and our guide on the day was excellent. They started grilling the barbecue on the way to Balicasag Island, haha, it smelled so good! My boyfriend and I both love Filipino grilled pork and chicken. There weren't many people on our boat that day, just six of us, so the experience was great. However, sometimes there might be more people, as I've seen larger boats too. We didn't rent a GoPro, but the guide recorded videos and took photos for us for free. These were taken when we went diving again after returning from Balicasag. I can't swim, but I fell in love with snorkeling and even fed the fish. Oh, and we saw many dolphins and lots of sea turtles, as well as sea snakes. The experience was fantastic! Since I love barbecue so much, I spontaneously decided to write a good review. It seems many local tours don't include lunch, so it's a good idea to confirm that in advance. This is for everyone's reference.

what an awesome day! Tyron was a great guide! We decided to do the 4 x 4 ride at chocolate Hills. If that’s your thing you have to do this. It started pouring rain, which made it so much more fun and cooler in the hot weather. Being extra clothes or you can purchase at gift shop as we did. The Loboc lunch cruise was Amazing too ! tarsier viewing was incredible to see thes little amazing primates in the jungle. Great excursion👍

it was a great experience for us. have seen the Dolphins and the best was snorkeling: have seen variety of fish and the only turtle we saw. We have a very good guide while under water taking the go pro photos. Virgin island not impressive coz there is private property which does not allow anyone to go walking in the beach front. The overall experience is best and we enjoyed the tour.

This was a fun tour. We had two different drivers—Sir Alvin in Cebu & Sir PJ in Bohol— both were excellent & very accommodating to our requests. Sir Alvin was friendly and very thoughtful—he even checked in on us after the tour to ask how our day went, which we really appreciated. Sir PJ, our driver in Bohol, was also very engaging. He didn’t just drive us around—he shared interesting historical insights about the places we visited, which made the experience more meaningful. He’s also great at taking tourist photos, which was a nice bonus! PROS: Seamless transfers from our Cebu hotel to the port, then to Bohol, and back. The travel agency was easy to communicate with and provided all driver deets a day before the trip. We got tourist seats. CONS: The ferry travel takes about 2 hours each way (around 4 hours total), which can eat into your tour time. If there are ferry delays—as we experienced—the itinerary may feel a bit rushed.

Although coastal conditions were moderate due to the enhanced Southwest Monsoon and the effects of Tropical Storm Domeng, our island-hopping tour was safe and enjoyable. Our heartfelt thanks to our boatmen and guides, Eric and Gabriel, for their kindness, patience, and exceptional assistance to our PWD daughter during boarding and disembarking. We also thank the people of Balicasag Island for their help and support—a true display of Filipino Bayanihan. The return trip to Panglao was challenging due to rough seas, but Eric and Gabriel remained calm, professional, and focused on our safety. Their skill and dedication gave us confidence throughout the journey. They even apologized for our delayed return, though the weather was beyond anyone's control. Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat was a wonderful bonus. The food at Balicasag was excellent, our snorkeling guides captured great memories, and swimming at the Virgin Island sandbar was a highlight. Highly recommended!

The location is easy to find, and I can say the beach here is beautiful. My husband and I truly enjoyed our visit. The food is tasty but pricey, so it’s really up to you whether you’d like to try anything from the menu. All in all, it was a good experience.

lovely and quiet though it was raining so that is perhaps why. the sunset at bamboo walk was spectacular. lovely bar there as well. swimming pool is lovely and large. free jeepney to Alona at 6:30 pm which was super helpful. towels were a bit shabby and thin though despite paying 100 pesos. also, in the shower room, there was no shower gel (empty carton) which was a bit inconvenient. otherwise, pleased with the service and peace and quiet
