Itinerary

1

Day 01

Arrival in Bohol and Abatan River Firefly Cruise

When traveling from abroad to the Philippines, Manila is usually most tourists' first point of arrival. It is recommended that you avoid the capital altogether and instead simply use its airport as a layover en route to the island of Bohol. Upon arrival in the island's capital, Tagbilaran, we drive to the settlement of Panglao. This is our base from which to explore the island and where our lodge is located. We will be hanging out at Alona Beach. About 1,500 meters (1,640 yards) long and lined with palm trees, resorts, and shops, the white-sandy Alona Beach is popular both day and night. Your tour with us today starts officially at 5:15 pm. Please be in the lobby at this time, as your tour guide and driver should be waiting for you there. We are taken by vehicle to the Abatan River Community Life Tour. There, we go on a firefly boat cruise. You have probably never seen something like this before. The cruise starts shortly after arrival. Afterward, we return to our hotel.

Day 02

Whale Sharks, Chocolate Hills, Tarsiers, and Loboc River

After swimming with whale sharks early in the morning, we explore Bohol Island. Specifically, we see Loboc River for a cruise, Tarsier Sanctuary, Chocolate Hills, Habitat Butterflies Conservation Center, Bilar Man-Made Forest, and Baclayon Church. Chocolate Hills' unique, mound-shaped formations are Bohol's most popular attraction. During the dry season, the grass-covered hills turn chocolate brown in color. This transforms the area into seemingly endless rows of chocolate kisses. Another highlight is a visit to a sanctuary to see endangered tarsiers. These primates can only be found on a few islands throughout Southeast Asia. Not least is a boat cruise along the Loboc River. Lunch is included in this boat cruise tour. Note that children under 4 years old are not allowed to swim with whale sharks.

Day 03

Boat Transfer to Dumaguete, Pulangbato Falls, and Red Rock Hot Spring

From Tagbilaran, we relocate by boat to Dumaguete, a town best used as a base from which to explore the area. Have your swimming attire and a towel ready. The first stop on today's tour is Pulangbato Falls. The next stop is at Red Rock Hot Spring. We return to Dumaguete in the early evening.

Day 04

Apo Island Day Trip and Sea Turtle Encounters

As a day trip from Dumaguete, we head to the port in Malatapay so we can take the boat ride to Apo Island. Big-eyed jacks, bump-head parrotfish, and sea snakes inhabit the reefs of the island. Nevertheless, the highlight for most tourists is the sea turtles. They get very close to swimmers and are pretty big.

Day 05

Cebu Transfer, Aguinid Falls, and Kawasan Canyoneering

Today will be a long but exciting day nonetheless. From Dumaguete, we take a boat ride to Cebu Island and head straight to Aguinid Falls. This is a great place for climbing waterfalls, with a helmet and ropes, of course. Next, we drive to Kawasan Falls. There, we have lunch, which is included on today's tour. Kawasan Falls is a destination popular specifically for canyoneering. After that thrilling tour, we drive to Cebu City and sleep there for the evening. Note that children under 6 years old are not allowed to go canyoneering at Kawasan Falls. Also note that children under 7 years old are not allowed to go canyoneering at Aguinid Falls.
