Bohol Travel Experience

Inside the ferry, My bed :)

Always wanted to visit Bohol, But it took me years to do it so, So finally after a long wait I got a chance to finally see this beautiful Island of Visayas, took a ferry ride from Bohol Via  Lite Ferries, It leaves from Cagayan de Oro around 10:00 Pm and will arrived at Bohol around 7:00 Am, So its like overnight Journey. So I decided to book a Suite so i can rest well, I had this sleepless night when from Cagayan de oro to Cebu before with Trans Asia, So I don't want that to happen again, Lucky enough i booked ahead, cos they only have 2 cabin and one suite.

It was very smooth ride,Plus the weather was good. But the ferry will dock in Jagna Bohol and from Jagna you have to ride a bus Via Ceres to Tagbilaran city, It was not a lot, and the travel only takes 1 hour, for Economy its 60 pesos and for Airconditioned its 68 pesos, Arrived at tagbilaran City around 9:00 AM, and took a tricycle from the Bus terminal to my hotel, The main Transportation in Bohol mostly tricycle to get around, could barely see taxi,

Panglao Island Relaxing at Alona beach.

On my first day I decided to visit Panglao Island,You can approached the Tricycle driver and they will be more than happy to take you there for only 300 pesos back and fort,They will just wait for you when you return back to Tagbilaran, I found out that Boholano is actually very accommodating and very hospitable,and can be very sweet as well, Could not find that in Cagayan de Oro.:) while enjoying the beautiful Panglao island my driver patiently waiting for me,:)

On our way back he ask me if I wanted to visit the Bee farm and hinagdanan cave cos it will be on our way. So why not?

Hinagdanan Cave 

Hinagdanan cave,Its has unique beauty,enjoyed the funny tour guide as well, The cave is so spacious inside, with wonderful natural lighting. The stalactites are awesome. I did not feel claustrophobic inside. A really worth to visit while in Bohol.Dont forget to take a photo like this :)

Bee farm

Next Destination was the Bee farm. Oh its a very Interesting short bee farm tour, Very informative as well, Believe it or not, I did not know that you can actually eat the boquin bella petals, and some different kind of petals salad was served, Lots of honey products as well. Dont forget to dine at Bee Restaurant while appreciating the magnificent views,

On the next day I decided to book a tour, You have plenty of choices, You can join a group tour for only 400 pesos or you can book a private tour from 1800 pesos to 2500 pesos for a car.and 3000 to 4000 pesos for a van. Its an 8 hours whole day tour.So I booked for Car, Cos I wanted to manage my own time and to see around privately. My driver was very nice as well.

First Stop the Chocolate hills, Prepare plenty of water, and if you have heart problems, take it at your own risk. Its a long walk to get to the viewing point,So I would not advise it to people with heart problem. Although you can go slowly maybe :) But its really worth the beauty of chocolate hills is indeed a breathtaking to see from the top. So amazing how this hills form in similar sizes,

  For you to get closer to the hills, You might want to try this ATV rides as well, its only 450 pesos for the Single and 900 pesos for the double for 30 minutes ride,You would certainly see the hills closely and get a chance to take photos nearer as well.

After visiting Chocolate hills, next stop was the Man made forest.I don't know much about it but my driver said it was planted by Boholano ages ago.:)

After the Man made Forest  Our next stop is to see this little cute creature, The Tarsier, Always wanted to see this before and finally we meet, :) This beautiful little thing, is so small that can actually fit into your palm. Sad to say there are only few left after the Devastating earthquake last 2013, Maybe some few died.








Visited the remains of Loboc church. This is really said, This church was built many years ago and was damage during the 2013 earthquake that left bohol devastated,.

This is the most awaited one, I've always wanted to visit here, The Loboc River Cruise, You are cruising in the river while having your meal, This is really a must visit while in Bohol, The food was great, The ambiance was amazing,

Our next Stop is the Butterfly Sanctuary,The butterflies there is also a feeding area, plant farm, breeding center and product workshop.















Next Stop is the The Baclayon Church The town of Baclayon is famous for its Catholic church, the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. It is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines, with construction commencing in 1717, the year Baclayon became a parish, and was finally completed in 1727.Although its so sad, The it was actually badly affected by the earthquake as well.

Prony: The Biggest snake on captive, Sad to say its already died on august 2013 I haven't able to see the real one, 

The Blood compact Shrine. This will be our last place to visit. Beautiful scenery at the back. :)

There you go, My Bohol experience was really a great one, I enjoyed every minute of it and will definitely visit this place again in the future.
