Adventure in Bohol

Bohol


is a 1st provincial income class island province of the Philippines located in the Central Visayas region, consisting of the island itself and 75 minor surrounding islands. Its capital is Tagbilaran

It is the tenth largest island of the Philippines.To the west of Bohol is Cebu, to the northeast is the island of Leyte and to the south, across the Bohol Sea, is MindanaoIt was the home province of Carlos P. Garcia, the eighth president of the Republic of the Philippines (1957–1961) who was born in Talibon, Bohol.


REVIEW

Just some years ago, when my family decided to book a flight to Bohol for a Lenten-Summer vacation. I was exhilarated with the thought that, finally, I was to travel by plane for the first time and I can get to visit the places I was only used to seeing in my textbooks. 

In the trip we got to visit a lot of tourist attractions, the Chocolate Hills, Tarsier Conservation Areas, Floating Restaurant, Panglao Beaches are just some of them, we rented a van and a tourist guide to help us in roaming around the province. 

Within a span of our 2-day Bohol experience, we got to a lot of places, and one which is the Chocolate Hills, I was really amused to see it.

To get a better view of the hills, we even drove to the highest hill and went through a stairs that has more than a hundred-step, actually it’s tiring if you ask me, but I swear, it was worth it.

On top of the hill, the other small hills are open for sight-seeing and picture taking, lots of people also took pictures together with us. 

And ofcorse I wont forget to mention, the bell placed on top of the hill, they say you can ring it and wish, but unfortunately, I didn’t get to wish because people were crowding over it.

Before lunch, we decided to visit the Tarsier Conservation Area in Loboc, Bohol. On the way to the Conservation Area, we stopped over at The Man-Made Forest to take pictures, the guide told us that it is one of the attractions at Bilar, because it looks similar to the forests we see in movies.

After that, we made it to the Conservation Area. We merely strolled around and took pictures. This is honestly my first time in seeing an actual tarsier, even though I’ve gone to a lot of zoos when I was younger.

I also learned that tarsiers can be suicidal when exposed to camera flash, so a lot of signages saying cameras should not have flashes when visiting the tarsiers.

After visiting the tarsiers, we decided it was really time for lunch. The guide suggested we eat at the very famous Loboc River Lunch and Dinner Cruise, it’s an eat-all-you-can lunch so you won’t need to worry about your stomachs because, honestly, after eating I never even worried about our dinner, and besides, the food is really, really good.

The entire cruise took one hour or so, back and forth from the Loay Bridge to the Loboc Town Proper where we watched the folks dance through their native beats together with some animals like gecko and a small wild cat also called musang.

Full from the delectable foods served in the cruise, we decided to look for a place where we would stay for the night, the guide told us Panglao is the place we should look into if we’d like an experience of Bohol’s finest beaches.

After checking in the internet, we decided to check in at Dumaluan Beach Resort in Panglao. Our guide also approved of it and mentioned of the good feedback it usually gets from the tourists.

Although there weren’t rooms available that day since we didn’t book prior to our arrival and the only ones available are the cottages, we decided on renting one, it’s actually not that bad. The cottage is  quite near the shore so you wouldn’t need to walk too far just to take a swim.
       
I really enjoyed our stay here, the white sand beach, the sunrise and sunset, the view, the friendly crew, I think it has all the things I’d need for a really relaxing vacation.

The next morning, we checked the Baclayon Church and some historical houses in Bohol before returning to the airport for the flight back to Manila.

What I especially loved in our 2-day Bohol experience are the new things I discovered while having fun and relaxing at the same time, I think what makes our journey really memorable is all the fun experiences I got to learn a lot from, the things and animals I got to encounter, and the fun that I will always remember.
