The Chocolate Hills on the island of Bohol are one of the top attractions within the Philippines so in expectation of a free for all sweet buffet we set sail for the island to find out more. Our first official Ferry trip within the Philippines enabled us to the reach the island in a little under 2 hours. After some bartering at the port we decided upon 3 wheels as our best form of transport to help us reach our beach destination, very bumpy & noisy but all good fun!!
I was on the earliest plane bound for Tagbilaran on a Monday morning. The sun is yet to rise as I yawned away from the bustling sound of the morning rush of the metro. I was not expecting much from what I was about to see in Bohol so I just shrugged my shoulders and told myself I will just lie on the sand all day and enjoy the sun just like what I always do when I am on the beach. This trip was my third sea getaway in just a month so I was not expecting anything spectacular. The mere beach bumming already excites me. Nothing more. Apparently, I was in for a surprise.
A plunge into Bohol's pristine waters brings a reluctant, first-time diver face-to-face with the surly creatures of the deep, in a mesmerizing landscape unrivaled by anything that can be seen on land.
It’s my first time to visit Cebu for Sinulog and boy was I really excited! I have been looking forward to this trip since December and have even asked someone for our accommodation there (Cebu). But, something happened and that someone backed out the day before our departure. Worse, when I called up the hotels that day, they were fully booked. FAST FORWARD for I don’t want to talk about it further. Tish!
The last quarter of 2009 was the months of travel, food and fun for me, Edzel and Janah..not too mention expensive too..but we never get to worry..we are rich and famous as they said hahaha.
The pride of Bohol is its underwater world. I think Amaziiing is an understatement how gorgeous it is to be down there. There are numerous hotspots where you could dive/snorkel around Panglao Island. You could go to the numerous dive shops littered along the coast of Alona Beach. The resort where i stay offer them. Its Bohol Divers Lodge.
Do you know Cathy of the PBB Double Up? She was the housemate that was chosen to be the representative of the PBB Swap to Finland. At first, I find her as just a simple and plain housemate, but during the PBB Swap, I became proud of her. She was able to represent the Philippines well. Okay…I am not going to talk about her but about her hometown, Bohol. Yes, she is a native of Bohol.
I went to Bohol with my cousin and aunt last August for no particular reason at all. Stayed at the Panglao Island Nature Resort and Spa. The place was really beautiful!
This is my third visit to Bohol. I have been going there for three consecutive years now since year 2007, and obviously, I never grew tired of visiting Bohol over and over and over again. There is something enthralling in an island so small yet so rich with history, culture, natural and man-made wonders, not to mention the heartwarming Boholanos.
Bohol’s Danao Adventure Park is the Philippines’ newest attraction for the global adventurer. Located amidst mountain ranges, wide gorges, and the gushing Wahig River, this eco-tourism destination offers an array of adventure facilities and activities.
The island province of Bohol is looking to attract tourists seeking greater adventure other than climbing the Chocolate Hills or taking a peek at its rapidly depleting population of tarsiers.
While doing some research for the Great Visayan Tour, I read about Rod in an online travel forum. He was highly recommended as a tour guide for Bohol, so I got in touch with him and made arrangements. Three of us (Hot Tuna, Bunny Rabbit and me), one van, eight hours, ten tourist spots. Count 'em:
