Exploring the mystery of sardines
Here, adults can enjoy cliff jumping, sunset views, and exploring crevices, while children get to witness the spectacular sight of massive sardine schools that can literally darken the sky. Against a gentle blue backdrop, these shimmering sardine balls reflect black-gold hues. If you swim toward a sardine ball, they'll shyly retreat yet remain nearby—circling around you to form a beautiful vortex eye. In this moment, you'll feel like standing at the center of a storm, yet experience no turbulence, only mesmerizing light shifts that create otherworldly visuals. When the fish dart past, you can hear the collective swishing sound of their synchronized turns. Being enveloped by the swirling school becomes an overwhelming sensory feast of constant motion and dazzling displays.
Loboc River cruise
On the Loboc river cruise, often referred to as the "Oriental Little Amazon," a buffet lunch is typically served along with delicious mango juice. As you leisurely cruise along the river during lunch, you can admire the tropical rainforest scenery along both banks of the Loboc river, feel the gentle breeze, and enjoy live performances by singers and dancers.
Tarsier
The Philippine tarsier sanctuary is a famous artificial breeding observation site for tarsiers on Bohol Island, located near Corella town approx. 10 km from Tagbilaran. It is a tarsier conservation center open to the public. These tarsiers are national treasures of the Philippines, primarily inhabiting the southern regions of the country and classified as endangered species. Tarsiers are extremely small in size, with large round eyes that resemble glasses, hence their name. They have long tails, move by leaping, are nocturnal, and have an utterly endearing appearance. Don't miss the chance to observe these adorable creatures at the tarsier visitor center on Bohol Island. Tarsiers can rotate their heads 180 degrees and jump to heights over 20 times their own body length.
Chocolate hills
The Chocolate Hills are a natural wonder located in central Bohol Island, Philippines, near Carmen. Comprising 1,268 conical hills ranging from 40 to 120 m in height, these formations cluster together like haystacks across the landscape. Some have rounded domes while others feature pointed peaks. Covered with wild grass that turns vibrant green during the rainy season, the hills transform into chocolate-brown hues when the vegetation dries under the intense sun from February to May - giving rise to their iconic name.
Bacalhau church
The oldest church in the Philippines, Baclayon church, is located on Bohol island. Built over 420 years ago, it remains well-preserved today, constructed primarily with coral and stone since Bohol is a coral island. The church's second floor houses both a school and a religious art museum. Visitors can see the splendid vestments, golden crowns, capes worn by archbishops centuries ago during grand ceremonies, as well as statues of the infant Jesus, all radiating magnificent brilliance.
[Man-made forest]
The man-made forest was intentionally planted or transplanted approximately 50 years ago, resulting in neatly arranged rows. Over time, it has grown into a dense forest where tall trees provide shade by blocking sunlight, making it an ideal summer retreat.
