"The Maldives of the Philippines"—Bohol is amazing!

### 📍 **3-Day, 2-Night Itinerary** **Day 1: Explore the Land** ✅ **Chocolate Hills**: 1,268 cone-shaped hills that turn "chocolate brown" in the dry season. This was a filming location for *Harry Potter*! Rent an ATV and race around for a thrilling experience! ✅ **Tarsier Sanctuary**: See the world's smallest monkey, which is active at night. Remember to keep your voice down. ✅ **Loboc River Floating Restaurant**: Cruise through the rainforest on a bamboo raft while enjoying a buffet and live music from a local band. It costs only CNY 50 per person—great value! **Day 2: Island Hopping and Diving** 🌊 **Balicasag Island**: - **Diving at Balicasag Sanctuary**: See an underwater cliff with a 3,000m drop! Spot sea turtles and sardine storms! - **Virgin Island**: A white sandbar appears at low tide. The fishermen selling sea urchins are super friendly! 🐬 **Pamilacan Island** (Highly Recommended): 90% chance of seeing wild dolphins! The coral reefs are also great for snorkeling! **Day 3: Relax on a Secret Beach** 🏖️ **Alona Beach**: White sand and coconut trees. Order a mango shake and watch the sunset in the evening. 🤿 **Napaling Reef**: A must-visit for freedivers! Jump off the 10m platform straight into the crystal-clear sea! 1. **Transportation**: Take a shared taxi from Tagbilaran Airport to Alona Beach (PHP 150 per person). 2. **Diving**: Negotiate a group rate for Balicasag. Scuba diving costs approx. CNY 200 per dive. 3. **Accommodation**: We recommend staying near Alona Beach. Hostels cost CNY 80 per night, while 5-star hotels cost CNY 500+. "Bohol is a treasure—more untouched than Boracay and more convenient than Coron!

Bilar Man-Made Forest

Just landed in Loboc, Bohol Island and went full-on explorer mode in this wild slice of the Philippines 🌿 Discovering misty forests, adorable tiny primates, and dreamy riverside breakfasts — you gotta see this place. Top Spots to Visit in Loboc 🌳 Bilar Man-Made Forest (M37H+M9X, Loay Interior Road, Bilar) Drive or bike through an epic two-kilometer tunnel of giant mahogany trees. Feels like a movie set, and it’s open all day — so go early for fewer selfie-stick squads and misty morning vibes. 🐒 Bohol Tarsier Conservation Area (Bilar, 6317 Bohol) Meet the legendary tarsiers (they're palm-sized with huge eyes, ultra photogenic). Open 8am–5pm, this place is serious about conservation — keep quiet, don’t poke the tarsiers, and bring cash for the cheap entry. 🌊 Loboc River Resort (6316, Camayaan Road Loboc) This is the vibe for chill riverside mornings — think pancakes, bacon, eggs, and tropical fruit as you watch monkeys scamper and rain clouds roll by. Rooms are spacious, breakfast rocks (included!), and the staff actually listens to your broken Tagalog. Pro tip: Ask them to book you a floating river tour and try their grilled seafood later. How to Get Around & More 🛵 Rent a scooter for a few hundred PHP — the easiest way to see forest, river, and town on your own. Resort can arrange local tours too. 🍴 Must-Eat: Resort breakfast is fresh and photogenic; dinner by the river, order the grilled squid or local adobo. 💸 Bring enough cash — some attractions are cash-only, and ATMs are rare. 🌦️ Weather flips quickly (sunny to rainy fast), so pack a poncho or light jacket. #BoholAdventure #LobocRiverResort #ManMadeForest #TarsierSpotting #PhilippinesTravel

Sun-Kissed Adventures and Natural Wonders in the Visayas 🌴🌊 Ready for the ultimate getaway? Explore Bohol and beyond with sparkling beaches, dreamy caves, and unique wildlife encounters! Our all-time favorite? Bohol’s crystal-clear waters—absolutely irresistible. Kick things off at Alona Beach (Panglao, Bohol)—open all day, year round. Sunrise walks along powdery sand and crystal-clear shallows are non-negotiable! Grab a beachfront breakfast, rent snorkeling gear, or hop on a paddleboard for unbeatable ocean views. Insta-tip: shots near the Palm Tree swings or during golden hour are pure magic. Head next to Hinagdanan Cave (JRG2+496, Dauis). Open 08:00-16:00, this mystical underground spot is not only a cool escape from the heat but offers dramatic sunlight shafts through limestone chambers—perfect for silhouette selfies. Watch your step; it gets slippery inside! Nature lovers, don’t miss the Bohol Tarsier Conservation Area (Bilar, Bohol—08:00-17:00). It’s a peaceful jungle haven to spot these adorable, wide-eyed creatures. Rule of thumb: no loud noises or flash photography here! Respect their space for better viewing. Wind down at Bantug Lake Ranch (Granada Alangilan Road, Bacolod)—open 08:30-17:30 (weekdays), 08:30-18:00 (weekends). Go horseback riding, try fishing, or enjoy lazy lakeside picnics. Best photo ops: scenic boat rides and golden hour by the lake’s edge. Wrap your trip with Cebu’s vibrant city energy (8V8P+75F, Cebu City). Dive into bustling markets or take in sunset cityscapes before flying out. Personal tip: Bohol’s beaches are best for chill vibes and spontaneous dips—pack light, bring lots of reef-safe sunscreen, and dive in! 🌞 #Bohol #Philippines #BeachTrip #NatureLovers #TravelGuide#familytrip
