It’s surprising how few people know about it – everyone talks about the Chocolate Hills and Tarsiers, but not many tourists make their way to this beach.Anda Beach is located on the southeastern coast of Bohol – it’s 113km from Alona Beach in Panglao.

That was my biggest issue with the Philippines (other than the food) – and I don’t want to discourage you but .. Palawan was the worst with internet. Wish me luck! I drove there with my motorcycle, and it took me almost 4 hours to reach it. It almost looks like Boracay, just without all the crowds. So happy to hear that you found my tips for Bohol useful Are you loving the Philippines? The beaches seem nice but I didn’t meet anyone who was raving about them, which is why I saved my beach time for Siquijor, my next stop.While there used to be hundreds of them fifty years ago and before that, there are only very few left these days, because of deforestation and the resulting loss of their habitat. I don’t think it’s that solo backpacker friendly and I find it frustrating trying to get around. I’m in Dumaguete now and heading north to Panay and then Palawan next.

I spent about an hour exploring the Hills – I’d say that everything together took me nearly all day.Copyright © 2020 Globetrottergirls.

FIRST TIME BOHOL,Philippines with Yamyam - Tarsiers, Chocolate Hills|ボホール島はいいところ(フィリピン) - Duration: 6:28. But then every few days I do something so incredible, or have an amazing experience where local people are really generous and then I fall in love with it all over again!Oh I hear you on the internet!! The enclosures were small and the butterflies were not that special. It’s more beautiful than Alona Beach, but the water is very shallow, so again more suitable for a romantic walk with your date in the late afternoon than for swimming.There is an entrance fee of 50 Pesos at Dumaluan Beach.It’s not very easy to get there, but it’s definitely worth it: Anda Beach is the most beautiful beach in Bohol. But even though it’s not the best beach to swim in, there is a beautiful beach promenade with plenty of scenic bars. It was a quick detour for me, because even though there are some beaches and smaller islands like Panglao Island around Bohol, the main attractions are the tarsiers and the Chocolate Hills. As well as ample time at the Chocolate Hills vista point, tours typically include stops at the Man-Made Mahogany Forest, the 16th-century Baclayon Church, a tarsier sanctuary to see the world’s smallest primates, and the Loboc River, where you can enjoy a … First stop was the Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary, it’s located on the Loay Interior road going to the Chocolate Hills.

This tour includes Chocolate Hills, Bilar Man-Made Forest, Loboc River Cruise, Tarsier Sanctuary & Baclayon Church. I think I need to do some work in advance and then just try to enjoy the remoteness. Here, the tarsiers are kept in insufficient conditions and die from stress, poor care, and noise from the tour groups who stop here. Stops at the old church, tarsier sanctuary, river cruise, butterfly farm and the amazing Chocolate Hills. The Chocolate Hills are located in the center of Bohol, and can be reached form Alona Beach by a 2 hour ride by car or van.

WANT TO SAVE $$$ ON AIRBNB? The entrance fee is only 60 Pesos. I didn’t even have 3G on my phone in El Nido, headed up there not knowing the internet would be terrible there.. almost impossible to book onward transportation or anything from there, and my emails would never load. Yes, it’s also much bigger, but there’s more to it than just the size.That also means you can find some nice local Bohol girls in the different beach towns and villages – different to Boracay, where most Filipinos come from mainland Panay or other parts of the Philippines.But anyway, I don’t want to talk about the local girls in today’s post, I have already covered that in great detail in Everyone knowns the Chocolate Hills and the Tarsier, and while these are certainly the most famous attractions in Bohol, there are quite a few other fun things you can do here during the daytime.Alternatively, you can also book guided tours at the travel agents on Alona Beach, but I find it more enjoyable to be free and drive there by myself, stopping along the way if I find a nice place. You might think that’s quite long, but you should be really careful on these roads, there are lots of inexperienced tourists (and also local Filipinos) who drive too fast, and the road condition isn’t that great either.Anyway, don’t miss the restaurant on Anda Beach, the meals aren’t bad at all, and there’s also a nice beach bar where you might see some Foreign-Filipina couples like in my video below.I know, you cannot leave Bohol without having visited the Chocolate Hills, but I personally think they are a little bit overrated. We enjoyed this day tour.

The Tarsier Conservation Area is located by the main road that runs through the mountains. I’m also thinking of trying this.Hi Rose, the trip to the tarsier sanctuary took about 45 minutes, but my visit was short.. maybe 15 mins. The thought that nobody even knew where I was that day crossed my mind briefly when we sped down the dirt road towards the hills, but no risk, no fun, right?On my way back to Tigbalaran I did the math and calculated how much I spent on my day instead of the 2,500PHP tour:Keep up with me! I’ve been to Bohol/Panglao, Cebu and Siquijor so far.

I’m also about to lose it over the terrible internet. And if that’s all not enough, they have fantastic ice cream, too, using the thin waffle on the right side.The Bohol Bee Farm is located in Panglao, about 9km from Alona Beach. CHOCOLATE HILLS ENTRANCE FEE. Cost should be about 30 PHP . Don’t visit the Tarsier Sanctuary in Loboc, even though it is conveniently located on the road from Tagbilaran to the Chocolate Hills.
