What To Expect

Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary

First stop is the Philippine Tarsier Foundation in the town of Corella, which serves as a refuge for the smallest primate in the world, the tarsier. Observe these rare, nocturnal creatures in their natural habitat and be amazed by their agility as they move about, leaping from one tree to the other, and swivel their heads nearly 360 degrees.

1 hour • Admission Included

Chocolate Hills Natural Monument

You will pass by Bilar man-made forest, a thick undergrowth of towering mahogany trees grown on the fringes of the highway leading to the Chocolate Hills, the country’s geological wonder. From a distance, these hills look like huge candy drops that change in color with the season, and are aptly named ‘chocolate’ when the hill grasses turn deep brown in summer. We will hike up to the viewpoint for a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area

We loved the visit to the Tarsier Sanctuary where they can come and go. It was the highlight of the tour. Be sure to only visit them at the sanctuary with this tour. Other tours may take you to where they are held in captivity. If held in captivity they die within weeks but still this happens. Our tour guide Elmer was amazing and a wealth of information.
Absolutely an amazing experience!!

Our trip to Bohol was nothing short of amazing! Cruising down the serene Loboc River surrounded by lush greenery was a truly peaceful and refreshing experience. The tranquil water, the towering palm trees, and the dramatic clouds above made the scenery feel like something out of a postcard. We also had the chance to enjoy a delicious lunch aboard a floating restaurant. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and plentiful! From grilled meats to tropical fruits and coconut drinks, every bite added to the local charm. The ambiance on the boat was cozy, and sharing the meal with family made it even more special. Of course, no trip to Bohol is complete without visiting the iconic Chocolate Hills. Seeing them in person was breathtaking—the unique formations stretch out endlessly and are even more captivating than in pictures. Nature at its finest! If you’re planning to explore the Philippines, Bohol should be high on your list. Between nature, culture, and cuisine, this trip gave us memories to last a lifetime.
Excellent Tour for Beautiful Bohol

An amazing experience overall; highly recommended. We explored historical places as well as wandered into the wildlife to see Tarsiers in close distance. The highlight for us was the ATV ride along the Chocolate Hills. In addition, we thoroughly enjoyed the lunch buffet along the Loboc River with live performances along the way. The buffet spread was great and filled with local dishes. Big shout out to our tour guide Roy, who made the experience memorable.

Great day trip! They did a good job of taking us to the highlights of the island. Elmer. our tour guide was funny, knowledgeable and hospitable. There were 5 of us in one van so it was nice and private. They were also accommodating. We were in Amorita Resort which was not a regular pickup route for them but they obliged, and showed up 30 minutes early. Highlight of course was the Tarsiers and the Loboc River Cruise which was quite entertaining. Food was delicious as well. If you are on the fence on it, I highly recommend you do it!

Hi We had selected to be picked up from Henan for the tour as that was the closest option for us from where we were staying. The security guards at the Henan did not even let us into the lobby or to enter the hotel to wait in the lobby. They were so rude and it was an extremely uncomfortable and stressful situation as they didn't understand us and refused to let us enter for the guides to pick us up. Not sure why that was a pickup option if non guests arent allowed to even enter the place. The guards were very rude and we felt so uncomfortable. The tour should have picked us from our location. Not happy. Lucky the driver saw us waiting outside,and we arrived early, so we didnt miss the tour.
A Tour well worth doing

Our guide May and driver James were excellent, there wasn't one question unanswered and there were many! Great knowledge of the places visited and we enjoyed all of them. Got us a great seat on the River cruise right at the front.
