Exploring exotic Bohol island in the Philippines

Because apart from Bohol being one of the Philippines’ most picturesque provinces, it’s also one of its most intriguing, boasting an array of attractions that you can’t find anywhere else in the country.

The Philippines is an archipelago consisting of 7,641 islands. With so many islands to choose from, you’d think they’d get bored visiting the same place year after year, but they don’t.

Best time to visit Bohol
Like most regions in the Philippines, Bohol is hot year-round and high temperature. June to November are usually rain, so if your goal is to catch as much as the sun, avoid these months. Late December and Holy week are peak season for local so the best time to go would be from January to around mid-March.
Where to stay in Bohol: Panglao Homes Resort& Villas
If it is not important for you to be right on the beach, Panglao Homes Resort& Villas is a great choice of staying. Located about 2 km from Alona Beach, it’s a secluded boutique resort with clean spacious rooms and a nice swimming pool. The distance from the beach didn’t bother us at all since they offer free one-way shuttle service to Alona beach five times a day.
Things to do in Bohol
Bohol has many interesting tourist attractions like the Chocolate Hill in Carmen, the tarsier sanctuary in Corella, and the Loboc river.
Watch dolphins and Snorkeling at Balicasag Island
Dolphin watching and island hopping or snorkeling is another popular excursion in Bohol. You’ll set off at dawn to go dolphin and whale watching before spending a few hours snorkeling around Balicasag Island. There you’ll come face to face with a spectrum of marine wildlife like fish, turtles, and giant clams.
Bike on a Zipline at Chocolate Hills Adventure Park
You’re basically riding a bike with specialized wheels that wrap around the cable. You’re attached to a safety harness while a metal bar tethers your bike to an overhead cable, so there’s no chance of you falling off. Chocolate Hills Adventure Park offers plenty of other attractions as well as a surf zipline, treetop rope challenges, wall climbs, and zorbing.
Go Stand Up Paddleboarding and Mountain Biking at Loboc River
If you like action sports, then you’ll love this. What better way to enjoy the Loboc River than to ride along its banks in the morning then dive in from your paddleboard in the afternoon? It’s loads of fun and a great way to beat the summer heat.
Where to eat in Bohol - Bohol Bee Farm
Bohol Bee Farm is known for serving good food using only the freshest organic greens and vegetables. You can walk around their expansive facility and visit their many herb and vegetable gardens. They bake their own bread and churn out their own ice cream served in house-made cassava cones as well. Resembling a giant treehouse, the restaurant offers the most stunning ocean views.
L’ Elephant Bleu
Owned by a French-Italian who does all the cooking himself, L’ Elephant Bleu in the heart of Alona Beach is a good restaurant that serves delicious French fusion cuisine. A special thing is an interesting chicken breast dish made with Madagascar vanilla sauce, potatoes, haricot verts, and pink peppercorns.
Pearl Restaurant at Linaw Beach Resort
Pearl Restaurant is located at the far end of the more secluded and much quieter Danao Beach. They have an extensive menu offering all kinds of dishes like fresh seafood, Australian rib eye, fondue, pasta, pizza, and paninis. They even serve more exotic fare like crocodile and ostrich! In my opinion, dinner and cocktails here on the beach whilst watching the sunset is a must in Bohol.
Giuseppe Pizzeria & Sicilian Roast
Owned and operated by Italian chef Giuseppe Genco, this pizzeria on the sleepy island of Panglao makes the tastiest wood-fired brick oven pizzas. Thin and charred in parts, the crust is soft and chewy at the center and gets increasingly crisp as you eat your way out to the edges. It’s delicious and addictive. An accomplished chef who’s spent time in the kitchens of premier hotels like the Hilton, Manila Peninsula, and Shangri-la, there’s no question Chef Giuseppe knows Italian food.
