Description

Experience the captivating charm of Bohol through this well-rounded countryside tour that showcases the world-famous Chocolate Hills and other remarkable attractions.

Celebrated for its stunning natural landscapes, Bohol is home to powdery white-sand beaches, pristine waters, and unique wildlife, including the Philippine tarsiers—endearing tiny primates known for their distinctively large, soulful eyes.

This fun-filled tour is ideal for travelers who want to explore picturesque scenery, significant cultural sites, and beloved destinations such as the Loboc River, Chocolate Hills, and Tarsier Sanctuary. 

For those seeking a more intimate experience, upgrading to a private tour is available. This upgrade provides hassle-free pick-up and drop-off service anywhere within Panglao and Tagbilaran. 

A warm and experienced driver-guide will accompany you throughout the day, ready to assist and share local insights at each destination.

Consider enhancing your journey with an optional lunch along the Loboc River, where you can enjoy traditional local dishes while surrounded by beautiful river views and live cultural entertainment.

Your adventure begins when your driver-guide meets you at the designated meet-up location for a comfortable and seamless start.

The crown jewel of this tour is undoubtedly the Chocolate Hills, Bohol's most celebrated natural wonder. This geological marvel consists of over a thousand uniformly shaped hills spreading across three municipalities. 

These grass-covered mounds earn their name by turning a chocolate brown shade during the dry months. The viewing deck provides an excellent vantage point for photographs and quiet appreciation of this extraordinary landscape.

Your itinerary also features the serene Loboc River, renowned for its tranquil emerald waters and abundant greenery. The peaceful riverbanks offer captivating views where the lush tropical setting provides an inviting backdrop for capturing beautiful memories.

A meaningful stop at the Corella Tarsier Sanctuary allows you to observe these fascinating creatures, which is one of the world's smallest primates. Here, you'll witness their gentle behaviors while gaining insight into the sanctuary's important conservation initiatives that help preserve their delicate habitat.

The tour continues through Bilar's striking manmade forest, where dense rows of mahogany trees create a cool, shaded corridor—a testament to successful reforestation projects in the area. You'll also explore the charming Butterfly Garden, where colorful butterflies flutter freely, and you might encounter other intriguing animals, including pythons.

At Baclayon Church, you'll step into centuries of Philippine history. As one of the nation's oldest Catholic churches, it holds the distinction of being both a National Cultural Treasure and National Historic Landmark. Inside, you'll find carefully preserved religious artifacts that tell the story of Bohol's deep-rooted heritage.

The Blood Compact Monument is another historical highlight, commemorating the friendship pact between local and Spanish leaders. This symbolic gesture represents the Philippines' first documented international treaty.

Before your journey ends, you'll have a chance to browse local souvenirs at a nearby shop. Your driver-guide will then take you back to the original meeting point.

After a fulfilling day discovering Bohol's countryside treasures, consider spending the rest of your day relaxing along the island's beautiful coastline or dining at one of the local restaurants.

Join this thoughtfully planned countryside tour to witness the magnificent Chocolate Hills and explore Bohol's most beloved sites. Book your adventure now by selecting your preferred date.
