Getting Around Bohol and All Its Tourist Attractions


Chocolate Hills

My first time in Bohol was in 2010. Some former officemates and I planned for a Cebu and Bohol getaway for 5 days. I had so much expectation and Tagbilaran is one not to disappoint. People are nice and helpful, the province was clean, and the food was great.

Bohol Cruise
To reach Bohol from Cebu, we took a very early vessel to the province of Chocolate Hills. The cruise took 4 precious hours but with the nice scenery, nobody complained.




Loboc
First off, we stop at the Blood Compact site then head to where the Tarsiers were. There were plenty of places to find these cute creatures and our helpful driver took us to one of the finest as seen below.

There were also Flying Trapeze and Snakes, and Monkeys that we stopped at along the way before we head off to the Lunch Cruise. Our driver was such a timid guy, and he did not join us in the cruise. It was fun and eyes and belly filling lunch as we navigate the great river of Tagbilaran.

This is a stop over for the Cruise where local singers perform to the delight of the tourists.

Bilar WoodsAfter the cruise, we head off to Bilar where the nice, tall woods are clustered. Here is a sample of what to see in the woods.

 After the long day, our driver took us to a different hotel, which he believed was a better place than the one we booked. I'll post more information on that on another post.
