You can visit bohol through land if you want to explore some Islands of Philippines, Manila to batangas,batangas to Mindoro. But best thing of Bohol is Facing Leyte and Cebu, so from cebu just boat to Bohol and if your from Leyte take boat to Tagbilaran bohol.

Note: Such land travel direct to bohol. but you can visit bohol,need to pass and explore some great place like boracay,negros,leyte and cebu.


Waiting my boarding .

Taken Picture before leaving The Airport.


               Arrival at the airport, just take a walk out to the airport to save transportation, cost of tricycle going to the heart of tagbilaran is 20 or 25pesos only since I'm alone riding, normally only 9.00 pesos each.Airport of Tagbilaran, just a small airport where you can wait your baggage and terminal fee is only 20.00 so nothing to worry not expensive.



Since the driver is nice I ask him if how much he charge for the service turn around the city.
1. Sandugo Shire or Blood Compact shire,
2. Baclayon Chuch &  turn around port
3. Big Pyhton in Bohol


DAY 1
Sandugo Shrine
Bohol Pyhtoon Wild life
Panglao Island Best during Summer (Not during I visited)
Hinagdanan Cave Panglao
Tagbilaran Town
Welcome to Sandugo Shrine

The historical shire of bohol. Place is along road so nothing to worry visiting this place. From heart of town you can ride tricycle just few min. Since my schedule tight and need to maximise the hours I stayed. I grab the tricycle driver offer.


Some Korean kids enjoying the place and taken picture. Same as my self enjoying also. The place is nice clean and top view of sea..The Driver Charge me 150.00 Pesos  for the 3 places we need to visit.Since he is cool and nice, i suggest him to bring me to panglao terminal, where i can ride to buss going to panglao island. For the amount of 200.00 at all, nothing to worry find another service going to Panglao.

The place is under renovation and making place good for tourist spot in bohol maybe after few months place is good enough, and more tourist to come.


Leaving the Sandugo shrine and explore the next place the baclayon church.

Welcome to Baclayon Church
Baclayon church is one of historical and older church in Philippines. The roof with color red, that's the church, you easily see along the road, when you try to visit this church.

The bell tower of baclayon church.

Spanish old houses found around in baclayon church

Baclayon port, where you can see the church of baclayon.


The the small island seeing far is island of Leyte.

Welcome to the Bohol Python.




Big Python found in Bohol town. they feed kilos of meat. This pyhton can swallow a human.



See what this pyhton looks like when he wanted you to eat..he has a big big mouth.Indeed scared off.
Leaving Baclayon and leading to:


Dauis Hinagdanan Cave and Panglao

The round goin to dauis and panglao is good nothing to worry about if u have a car. Most of transportation here for commuters are motor bicycle and small buss.

Buses going to Dauis to  Hinagdanan Cave. I admired this mother and child. I remember when I was i kid when my mom buy some foods in the market, I really really want to be with her, because I ask her to buy me something. will it because I was a kid that time.




If you want to stay in panglao beach and spa, make sure you have lots of money on your pocket, will much expensive but sure great service. Since Im on hurry and need to explore dauis and panglao for that day, preferred visit to hinagdanan cave. and soon alona beach panglao.

Giant guitar I pass through going to hinagdanan cave, its a little tourist spot but not obvious for people live around here. The owner don't care, this giant guitar is almost a decade also.


In the other side of giant guitar is a place where statue of king and queen with princess and price. Its not part of tourist spot but just wondering only, looks its built almost many years I think.


And few walk aways just wondering this giant hand chair.look impressive.


Taken pics in fron of hinagdanan cave before entering the place



Hinagdanan cave with great limestone and formation inside like snakes, the water is good for rheumatism as some people says its make miracle.

During my visit their is some visitor diving on the water and some are resident of the place . During summer lots of people visiting here.

Take some photo shot before leaving the hinagdanan cave.

Some pics inside the hinagdanan cave.

The new Korean group arrived to explore the hinagdanan cave. Now leaving the cave.

Before leaving I look around and I saw the Dauis beach, the water are clean and some resident picnic here some times during summer.

This dauis beach is clear water, its not a tourist spot but nice to picnic with family and boating .


Welcome To Pangalao Alona beach
Note: Visiting this place if you are solo traveller make sure you have Idea what time the buss left and last trip. Or else your go in to stay at panglao with expensive rate, around 1,500 per night that is near front beach, but some are only 800.00 per night. But if you have tight schedule better you back to tagbilaran before 5:00pm

The panglao beach is one of the tourist part here in bohol, its like boracay white sand and more foreign people stay here, so most of the time no vacancy for front beach hotel.

The place when I arrived is a little not good for me since of weather issue. The water are not clear and some sea weeds around, so for me not feel comfortable to stay. This means the place is mes..no..no.. the place are great better visit during summer but please make sure book on a week a head.

Exploring Tagbilaran Town

Arrived at Tagbilaran town at  5:00pm since a little hungry and need wifi for update some info. to my friends if whats goin around in Bohol. Ordered some sweet cake and beverage at bos coffee. 



Look around for nice hotel to stay: For further references of hotel you can visit some web and email add:
                Nisa Travellers Hotel   www.nisatravellers.com   email: nisahotel@yahoo.com 

Nisa Hotel will serve you a health breakfast, this is free for all of their customer even you stayed at Aircon or non aircon room. Nice people working here and LoLa Nisa is their saying hi hello thanks for coming. If I come back sure I will stay here again.
This hotel is good for Solo traveller and Family, or Groups.


            If your in town of Tagbilaran nothing to worry about the  ATM machine its only at same bldg of Nisa Hotel. But take note of this, visiting some places here make sure u have carry enough cash, because ATM machine available at Tagbilaran and Tubigon. Some place like Sagbayan, Carmen, Baclayon.they don't have ATM machine.
This Church is beautiful when night come, but they close church after the mass.



Tagbilaran Museums, in front of Tagbilaran plaza and church. Perfect during night they have light of symphony, changes color from blue to pink,green,yellow and soon.

Tagbilaran Church one of the oldest church in bohol. In front of church lots of vendor sell some street foods.

Tagbilaran town Plaza and park. Dove is friendly you can feed them if you want, and they come to you.


DAY 2
Man made Forest
Chololate Hills
Sagbayan Peak (Tarsier)
Danao adventure Park

Our schedule is tight from tagbilaran to carmen, you pass through Sandugo,baclayon, big pyhton then the tubigon church,  Loboc river,carmen thurch, man made forest and chocolate hills. Loboc river is for me its just for family picnic or lovers dating place or dinner with friends. Since I'm a solo traveller and saw the loboc river, I pass this place, its nice but for me its ordinary place witch expensive, when see the flier for charges.

Long widens road going to chocolate hills

While traveling going to man made forest and chocolate hills, we pass by some Spanish old houses that abandoned already. Just small renovation this house will be tourist attraction that anyone pass by.


Stop buss, take some photo, man waiting for the buss going to Tagbilaran city. Where heading to carmen, where we pass through man made forest and chocolate house.

Amaze the tree with lots of firms on the trunks.


Welcome to Man Made Forest

The Longest man made forest found in bohol.





After we pass over man made forest we pass through some old churches also, Carmen  Church and 
Carmen Church

Welcome to Chocolate Hills

Just wondering only. old trees in front, before up on hill.

Great views in on the top of hill.

Here we are the Chocolate mountains.



Last poise before leaving this perfect chocolate hills of bohol. The most tourist part of bohol.

One more Chocolate hills.

Im the one Stacker..Just taken pics to the korean guy.

Welcome to Danao Adventure Park 
(The Plunge)
Preparing for my first plunge...scary..but after that sure feeling is good and not scared anymore. Good luck.

The plunge of my life..at last I experience my first plunge.


With my CS friend Echo..Echo. The coolest buddy partner i did here in Bohol. Look forward my dear friend.

Taken picture before leaving danao and need to hurry to catch up the 5:00pm close for sagbayan peak. Need to see the tarsier or else your journey in bohol is no t complete.
Our Trip in Danao is much expensive and hardest one because u need ride on motor bike with expensive transportation. Will since we are solo traveler and we don't have tour guide or van to bring this beautiful place.


Welcome to Sagbayan Park (Tarsier)


Since where hurry and no more cash, we back to tubigon for the BDO ATM. Tubigon Chuch..One of the oldest church. Nothing to worry if you visit this place ATM machine around if you have no more cash.And back to sabayan peak for tarsier only 25 pesos for buss. transportation.




When sagbayan peak open, they have only 2pcs of tarsier, but now they take care 6 pcs chubby tarsier hope next time I visit this place almost hundreds. Loboc river have tarsier also and they are more unlike in sagbayan, 

The most wanted endangered species creature in Philippines.


The 2 chubby tarsier hiding on the tree.

Look at him, he is adorable..cute..cute tarsie.




For my solo trip here in Bohol most of traveller goin their have a package tour due of transportation, If you are model type of person and allergic for some reason, you can rent a van for only 2,500 that for 1 day tour only and you can devide each of you, good if your travelling in group. but if you traveling alone and knew how to drive motor bike will that great, you can save money.
    If time come again I will go back in bohol panglao during summer,sure beach are clear and weather are good, not unlike when i visit bad weather and beach are not clear. The other one is Wakasan falls just wondering because its not on thier tourist spot destinations.



 I spent only 4,000.00 pesos only inclusive my plane tickets. for 3 days.

Before exploring this place: Pls take note transpo are cheaper if u travel with groups, and good if you rent a van, due transpo here are motor bicycle and busses. Most expensive one is the Motor bike.
