Bohol Vacations

Bohol is one of those rare destinations that really has it all—dramatic landscapes, rich history, vibrant culture, and a laid-back island feel that’s hard to beat.

The island’s most iconic feature? The Chocolate Hills. These perfectly rounded hills turn cocoa-brown in the dry season and create a surreal, almost lunar landscape. Head to the viewpoint in Carmen for the best panoramic view—it’s every bit as striking as it sounds.

For something gentler, a cruise down the Loboc River is a must. You’ll float past palm-lined banks, enjoy a local meal, and be serenaded by live music along the way. Just nearby, you can visit the tiny tarsiers—adorable, wide-eyed primates that are native to the region and best seen in their protected natural habitat.

Over on Panglao Island, Alona Beach is your go-to for snorkelling, diving, or simply soaking up the sun. We think the coral reefs here are among the most vibrant in the Philippines.

Bohol also wears its history proudly. Visit the centuries-old Baclayon Church or the Blood Compact Shrine, a powerful symbol of peace between Spanish explorers and local leaders. And if you’re visiting in July, don’t miss the Sandugo Festival—colourful parades, dancing, and a full-on celebration of Boholano spirit.

Whether you're zip-lining over the Chocolate Hills, paddling down a jungle river, or exploring quiet villages steeped in tradition, Bohol promises a travel experience that’s rich, rewarding, and completely unforgettable.
