Discover Bohol

Over 1,200 cone-shaped limestone hills cover Bohol's interior and turn brown during the dry season, giving them the name Chocolate Hills; their exact geological origin is still not fully understood and continues to puzzle scientists.

At the Tarsier Sanctuary near Corella, the tiny, nocturnal tarsiers with their enormous eyes can be observed up close — one of the oldest primate species in the world, found only on a few Philippine islands.

On a relaxing river cruise on the Loboc River, visitors enjoy Filipino cuisine aboard floating restaurants, while children in traditional villages along the banks perform songs and dances.

The offshore island of Panglao, with its popular Alona Beach, offers fine white sand as well as first-class diving and snorkeling spots, including the famous Balicasag Island with its turtles and reef sharks.

Panglao-Bohol Airport is served multiple times daily from Manila and Cebu. Alternatively, fast ferries run several times daily from Cebu City, completing the crossing in about two hours.
