A province on an island, Bohol is located in the Philippines’ Central Visayas. It is known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life. However, the beauty of Bohol extends beyond its shores. The province’s countryside is filled with natural wonders, rich history, and cultural gems that will captivate any traveler.
One of the most significant ways to explore the countryside of Bohol is on a guided tour. This page will take you through some of the most popular attractions in a Bohol Countryside Tour.
Inclusions:
A typical Bohol Countryside Tour usually lasts about 8 hours and covers multiple destinations throughout the province. The tour typically includes comfortable transportation with air-conditioning, a tour guide, and entrance fees to all attractions.
Here are the best destinations you can expect to visit:
The countryside tour begins with a stop at the Blood Compact Site in Tagbilaran City, where you will learn about one of the most significant events in Philippine history. This site commemorates a peace treaty that was signed between Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna, a native chieftain.
Next on our list is Baclayon Church – one of the oldest stone churches in Asia that was built during the Spanish colonial era in 1727. This church once served as both a place of worship and as a fortress against invading forces.
A trip to Bohol would only be complete with seeing these cute little creatures! Tarsiers are one of the world’s smallest primates and are found only in Southeast Asia. At The Tarsier Sanctuary, you can observe these nocturnal animals up close and personal while learning about their conservation efforts.
After seeing some historical sites and wildlife, it is time to relax with a cruise along Loboc River while enjoying buffet lunch aboard one of their floating restaurants! This peaceful river offers stunning views of lush forests and towering cliffs that will leave you breathless. (This is optional)
Finally, we arrive at arguably Bohol’s most famous attraction – the Chocolate Hills! The hills are a group of over 1,200 geological formations that look like chocolate mounds during the dry season. You can climb up one of the viewing decks to see an unobstructed view of this unique natural wonder.
On your way back to Tagbilaran City, you will have a chance to visit a man-made forest in Bilar town. This dense forest was created as part of Bohol’s reforestation program and is now home to different species of trees and plants.
Another stop on the way back is the Butterfly Sanctuary in Bilar town, where you can witness thousands of butterflies fluttering around freely in their natural habitat. This sanctuary also serves as an educational facility for visitors who want to learn more about butterfly breeding and conservation efforts.
For those who seek adventure, a crossing on the Hanging Bridge in Sevilla town is highly recommended! This suspension bridge made with bamboo planks stretches over the Sipatan River and offers stunning views of the surrounding lush greenery.
The final destination on our countryside tour is Prony Python Sanctuary which is located in Alburquerque town. This sanctuary houses one of the world’s largest pythons named “Prony” which weighs about 200 kg (440 lbs). Visitors can also encounter other animals, such as monkeys, birds, and reptiles here.
