Bohol Island Chocolate Hills & Tarsier & Loboc River Cruise + Bohol Bee Farm Dinner + Firefly Watching at Night
Highlights
Chocolate Hills
The Chocolate Hills are a natural wonder located in the central part of Bohol Island, Philippines, near Carmen. Comprising 1,268 conical hills, the Chocolate Hills range in height from 40 to 120 meters. These hills cluster closely together like haystacks scattered across a field, with some featuring rounded tops while others are more conical in shape. Covered in wild grass, they appear vibrant green during the rainy season. From February to May, the dry season turns the grass brown under the scorching sun, giving the hills their chocolate-like appearance—hence the name Chocolate Hills.
Loboc River
On the Loboc River cruise, often referred to as the "Little Amazon of the East," a buffet lunch is typically served along with delicious mango juice. As you leisurely cruise and dine on the river, you can admire the tropical rainforest scenery along both banks, feel the gentle breeze, and enjoy live performances by singers and dancers.
Tarsier
The Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary is a famous tarsier viewing attraction on Bohol Island, located near Corella town about 10 km from Tagbilaran. It is a public conservation center for these endangered Philippine national treasures, which primarily inhabit the southern Philippines. Tarsiers are remarkably small 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 Bohol Tarsier Visitor Center. Remarkably, tarsiers can rotate their heads 180 degrees and jump over 20 times their own height.
Artificial forest
The man-made forest was planted or transplanted about 50 years ago with deliberate spacing, resulting in neat rows that have now grown into a dense woodland. The tall trees provide ample shade, making it an ideal summer retreat. It's a great spot for photo opportunities. When taking pictures, be mindful of passing vehicles and avoid standing in the middle of the road—safety first.
Pack your light bags and bring your sense of adventure as we embark on a firefly-watching tour. Glide along the Loboc River on a small boat, moving at a leisurely pace to enjoy the twinkling lights in the darkness—like being surrounded by a galaxy of stars. Experience nature's endless wonders and immerse yourself in this beautiful journey of shimmering lights.
Enjoy a scenic meal at Bohol Bee Farm's signature cliffside restaurant, where you can admire breathtaking views while dining.
As night falls, the lively fireflies dance around towering trees, transporting you into a magical wonderland.
