Whether you choose to catch up on sleep in the air-conditioned cabin or watch the sunrise over the Visayan waters, the choice is yours. The ferry offers simple amenities like comfortable seats and small restrooms, and attendants provide snacks, coffee, and juice. Pro tip: stock up on snacks at the terminal before boarding. Stay connected during the crossing, perfect for sharing sunrise photos or browsing your feed.

• Tagbilaran City Port Terminal - From Tagbilaran Port, embark on a comprehensive Bohol countryside tour. This first leg includes several short drives between the port and main destinations, with a total travel time of approximately 2 hours throughout the day. The port serves as a gateway to Bohol’s iconic attractions, strategically located for efficient routing to various landmarks.

• Blood Compact Monument - This historic site commemorates the first treaty of friendship between the Philippines and Spain, known as “Sandugo” (one blood). In 1565, Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna, the chieftain of Bohol, performed a blood compact ceremony by mixing drops of their blood with wine and drinking it – a traditional ritual symbolizing their peace agreement.

The site features life-sized bronze statues depicting the historic moment, created by National Artist Napoleon Abueva. Located along the national highway in Barangay Bool, Tagbilaran City, the monument offers scenic views of the Bohol Sea and Mindanao Sea.

• Chocolate Hills - The Chocolate Hills are Bohol’s most iconic natural wonder - over 1,200 perfectly cone-shaped hills spread across 50 square kilometers of central Bohol. These unique geological formations, ranging from 30 to 50 meters high, are covered in grass that turns chocolate-brown during the dry season, giving them their famous name. Visitors can best appreciate this stunning landscape from the official viewing deck in Carmen town, which offers a 360-degree panorama of the symmetrical hills stretching to the horizon. Formed by the weathering of marine limestone over millions of years, these hills have not only become the Philippines’ third National Geological Monument but also earned a spot on the country’s tourism logo. While beautiful year-round, the hills display different characters through the seasons - emerald green during rainy months and brown during dry periods, though most tourists hope to catch them in their namesake chocolate hue.

• Tarsier Conservation Area - The Tarsier Conservation Area in Corella, managed by the Pizarras family, offers visitors an authentic glimpse into the world of these tiny primates in their natural forest habitat. Unlike other facilities, this official research and conservation site prioritizes the tarsiers’ wellbeing - no touching, flash photography, or loud noises are permitted to avoid stressing these sensitive nocturnal creatures.

• Baclayon Church - The Baclayon Church, officially known as the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, stands as one of the Philippines’ oldest religious structures, established in 1596 and completed in its current stone form by 1727. Made from coral stones cut from the sea and bound together with egg whites, this massive Jesuit-built church showcases classic Spanish colonial architecture with its thick walls and buttresses designed to withstand earthquakes. Though significantly damaged by the 2013 Bohol earthquake, the church has been meticulously restored to preserve its historical integrity.

• Man-made Mahogany Forest - The man-made forest of Bohol, officially known as the Bilar-Loboc Forest, stretches for two kilometers along the highway between Bilar and Loboc towns. Created in the 1950s as a reforestation project, this dense mahogany forest forms a captivating tunnel of tall, uniform trees whose branches interlock high above the road, creating a cool, shaded canopy. The dramatic change in scenery - from the open countryside to this sudden forest tunnel - makes it a popular stop for photos. While most tours allow for a brief 10-15 minute stop, the forest is particularly stunning in the early morning when sunlight filters through the canopy, creating ethereal light rays between the perfectly aligned tree trunks.

• Loboc River Cruise - The Loboc River Cruise combines dining and sightseeing along one of Bohol’s most scenic waterways. Guests board a floating restaurant - a large, covered boat equipped with buffet stations and dining tables - for a leisurely hour-long journey up the emerald-green river. The Filipino buffet spread typically includes grilled seafood, chicken, pork, various vegetable dishes, fresh fruits, and desserts, all while you glide past riverbank scenes of palm trees, traditional houses, and small waterfalls. The cruise includes stops at floating stages where local children perform traditional Filipino songs and dances, adding cultural entertainment to the experience. As you dine, local musicians aboard the boat provide live acoustic entertainment, creating a festive atmosphere that perfectly complements the stunning natural backdrop of the river.

• Aproniana Gift Shop - The Aproniana Gift Shop and Souvenir Center sits strategically near Baclayon Church, offering visitors a curated selection of authentic Boholano crafts and delicacies. Located in a heritage house, this local establishment specializes in native products including the famous Peanut Kisses (a peanut-based cookie shaped like the Chocolate Hills), broas (ladyfingers), polvoron, dried mangoes, and various kakanin (traditional rice sweets). Beyond food items, the shop features handwoven bags, native accessories, t-shirts with Bohol designs, and locally-made handicrafts that make perfect souvenirs.

• Cebu Harbor - The return journey from Bohol to Cebu City starts at Tagbilaran Port with a 2-hour ferry ride across the Cebu Strait. Afternoon to early evening departures accommodate various tour end times, featuring air-conditioned comfort and basic amenities. Catch stunning sunset views over Visayan waters on later trips.
