Ready to level up your Bohol trip? Here’s the scoop on two essential spots you simply cannot miss: Taug Whale Shark Watching in Lila and a dreamy stay at Panglao’s North Zen Villas 🦈🌴 Must-See Places: 1. Taug Whale Shark Watching & Snorkeling (Barangay Hall, Lila, Bohol; 06:00-12:00) Wake early and head south to Lila for a thrilling morning with gentle whale sharks in crystal-clear water! Swim, snorkel, and snap underwater pics with these majestic creatures. Hot tip: Bring your own snorkel mask for a comfier fit, and arrive before 8 AM to beat the crowds — especially if you want smooth, sunny shots for your feed. The guides are super friendly and make safety a total priority. 2. North Zen Villas (Brgy. Doljo, Panglao Island) If serene vibes are your thing, North Zen Villas is a total win. Picture this: modern rooms, emperor beds, coconut trees outside, and a pavilion perched above an inky ocean — killer for night views or sunrise snaps. The bamboo trail through mangroves is Insta-gold, and the pool plus garden setup is perfect for chilling after your adventures. Pro tip: Book breakfast in advance for a dreamy Filipino spread, and don’t miss happy hour cocktails at sunset (trust me on the mango daiquiri 🍹). Getting Around: Rent a scooter or hire a tricycle for easy island access. Local transport is cheap, but coordinate with your hotel for hassle-free rides to Lila. Food Rec: Try the villa’s Filipino breakfasts and check out fresh seafood nearby in Panglao — grilled fish by the water is a must. Essential Tips: Bring cash for entrance fees, drinks, and tips (ATMs can be rare). Pack light rain gear (weather flips fast!) and reef-safe sunscreen. #BoholAdventures #WhaleSharkBohol #MangroveMagic #IslandRetreat #TravelSmart
