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.
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

5.00We covered all the major sites in 7+ hours. The Guide was spot on time and was even early for our meeting point. Bravo. Anne, our guide, did a great job putting up with us. She really helped us enjoy this day and educate us too. If you are looking for a private tour, please do this one.
Oceanica Resort - Panglao

5.00Nice stay at Panglao Oceanica - great place to stay (choose Beach room), and finally take a trip arranged via the hotel to Chocolate Hills - with a superguide Jason - who spoke perfect English. If you want to eat lunch or dinner near the hotel, and want to try something other than at the hotel after a few days, then end up at the luxury hotel next door. Delicious food. Good with a little variation.
Fun and Informative

5.00Jimmy (Hieme) and Ivo gave us a private tour of Bohol. We saw all of the things that were indicated on the tour description. And both of them were very informative and fun to be with. I think it's the only tour to take in Bohol and is a must. We were very happy.
Awesome Bohol Experience

5.00We 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!!

Memorable Experience in Bohol!

5.00Our 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

5.00An 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.
