[2025 Bohol Island Attraction] Travel Guide for Bohol Tarsier Conservation Area (Updated Mar)

🌟One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the unique attractions that Bohol has to offer, including the Tarsier Conservation Area and the Butterfly Sanctuary. 1️⃣The Tarsier Conservation Area was an absolute delight. These adorable, tiny creatures are native to the Philippines, and getting to see them up close in their natural habitat was a truly magical experience. The conservation area is thoughtfully designed to provide a safe and conducive environment for the tarsiers, allowing visitors like me to observe them without causing any disturbance. It was incredible to witness their big, expressive eyes and witness their nimble movements as they leaped from tree to tree. ✅The knowledgeable guides provided insightful information about the tarsiers and their conservation efforts, which made the experience even more meaningful. 🌟Aside from the attractions, Bohol itself is a stunning island that offers so much more. Its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush green landscapes create a postcard-perfect backdrop for any adventure. Whether snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs, cruising along the Loboc River, or exploring the mysterious Chocolate Hills, every moment felt like a dream come true. Definitely will be back. 🕕Working hours: 09:00 am - 17:00 💲Entrance fee: 80 Php 📍Location: Bilar, 6317 Bohol, Philippines #summervacation #mytripvlog #awesomepic #tripblazers #philippines #bohol #asiatrip

With its tail longer than its body, it has large brown eyes, hairless ears and long finger-like claws. It has gray fur and a nearly naked tail that is more often than not about 232 mm in length. The tails arc over their back when they hop on the ground apparently to balance themselves. The underside of the tail has dermal ridges such as those found on human hands and feet. Tarsiers have large mesmerizing eyes whose bony eye sockets are larger than that of its brain case as well as of its stomach. The eye sockets have post-orbital closure which keeps the eyeballs from being pressed against by the powerful temporal muscles to their sides. Second encounter with these endangered species. It’s true, they are mesmerizing and it’s really sad to know that only a few made it after typhoon Odette struck this beautiful island of Bohol. Nevertheless, we were delighted to see them even though they appeared to be sleepy during our visit 😅 #philippinetarsier #bohol #philippines #travel #traveldestination #awesometrip

"Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling." Welcome to Bohol! One of the most beautiful place I visited in Bohol is the Tarsier Conservation Area located in Loboc, Bohol. I capture the moment as the tarsier that time is awake and I was really amaze with their little hand but their eyes are really big. I must say that this place were really worth it even if it's far from the airport. I really had fun visiting this place and was able to see those tarsier. Also, in order for you to proceed in the tarsier viewing, you have to pay for Php100 per head. The staffs are accommodating and kind to take photos of me with the tarsier. However, you have to be quite as the tarsiers are nocturnal and must not create a noise if you will go there by morning. There are also a lot of travel agencies who offers tourist attraction package which you can also avail. We availed 1 package for 7 persons and that costs Php549 per head excluding the payment for entrance in every tourists spot you will enter. I can definitely recommend this Tarsier Conservation Area as you will also loved the scenery going to the garden wherein the tarsiers are located. The place was also has good viewing area and it is also refreshing and calming. #awesomepic

If you want to see a tarsier, go to the Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary in Corella, Bohol. It's about 3 hours from Tagbilaran City. Tarsiers are nocturnal and sleep during the day. You can take pictures at the sanctuary but no flash! They are the smallest primates in the world with adults weighing only 3-5 ounces. Due to habitat loss, tarsiers are now considered an endangered species. Tarsiers in Bohol live in groups of 3 or 4 individuals plus their young. They communicate with each other using high-pitched squeaks audible only to other tarsiers' ears. #bucketlistreboot #tripblazers #mytripvlog

What a happy experience it was especially for my husband to have seen the adorable Tarsiers of Bohol for the very first time in his life. He was so amazed that he got even a little emotional. He’s really not the emotional type but for some reason, he was at that time. Oh how he wished he could bring them to Germany with him. My husband was also delighted to have been able to buy some souvenirs from the Conservation Area for my in-laws. We bought some tarsier keychains and ref. magnets for a very affordable price. Too bad the shirts were too small so we couldn’t buy some. It is a really beautiful and rare creature. So glad that Boholanos are protecting them. #tarsier

#0yentravelFebruary2025 A day trip to Bohol from Cebu Island is a tour where you can swim with whale sharks, meet the cute Tarsier, and enjoy nature and history such as the Chocolate Hills and churches.

#Traveling abroad tips #Cebu #Bohol #Philippines tourism After arriving at Cebu airport, I took a white taxi straight to Cebu Port (Pier 1). When taking a taxi, it's best to ask for the meter before getting in. This trip cost about 350p. By the way, you have to pay 10p when entering Pier 1. It takes about 2 hours from the high-speed ferry to Tagbilaran Port in Bohol. I took OceanJet this time, and it seems to be the most frequent with 7-10 flights a day (6am to evening). Make a reservation in advance and be careful of the scalpers outside. Price: Economy about 800 pesos, Business class about 1,200 pesos For local tours on Bohol Island, if you go to Alona Beach with Mac, there are a lot of people trying to sell you things, so the price is about the same, but if you negotiate, it will be a little cheaper, so this time we went privately for two people and it was 3,000 pesos. On the way back, I gave them 100 pesos and they took me to the supermarket on the island. After all, it's best to buy souvenirs at the supermarket 😀 Baclayon Church (historic church from the Spanish colonial period) Visit to the Tarsier Sanctuary (visiting the world's smallest tarsiers) Loboc River Cruise (lunch while looking at the jungle along the river) Chocolate Hills Observatory (required time: about 1 hour) By the way, it's best to make a reservation before going to the popular restaurant BARWOO 😅

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 #Philippines #Bohol 🐒The tarsier is a protected species The reserve allows visitors to see the tarsier, which is smaller than the palm of your hand, up close It is a nocturnal animal and sleeps during the day. So no loud noises, flashlights, or selfie sticks allowed. The park is quite small and can be visited in about half an hour. The staff will also help find tarsiers for tourists to see. At a safe distance, he also helped us take photos with the tarsier🥰 ⚠️Tips: There are often afternoon showers here, and the rain is quite heavy The umbrellas provided by the park are very small It is recommended to bring your own raincoat and umbrella to have more fun!

If you go to Bohol, you can meet a very small friend! That friend's name is the tarsier. It's much smaller and cuter than you think. If you go a little further inside, you can take a picture with it, so I recommend you meet it. #OctoberTravelSupportEvent #BoholTravel

#outdooradventures #100WaysOfTravel Absolutely breathtaking! The Tarsier Conservatory in Bohol is a must-visit destination for nature lovers. The lush greenery and peaceful atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for observing these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate about conservation efforts, making it a truly educational experience. Highly recommend adding this gem to your itinerary when in Bohol!

We took part in a Bohol Island tour! On the tour, we visited the Chocolate Hills and met the world's smallest monkey🐵 (Tarsiger), and tried two activities (we chose buggy and aerial bicycle)! You can choose two from three activities. (Each has an additional fee of 800 pesos each) Most people seem to take one-day or multi-day tours, but we chose a half-day tour. Since it was a half-day tour, we were packed💧 and it felt like time was running out wherever we went. So after meeting the monkeys, it was time to look for souvenirs, but the shops there were cheap and most of the key chains were 20 pesos each, so we were unsure which one to buy and the time flew by. The guide was a local, but I was relieved that he could speak Japanese.

This is a monkey I saw in Bohol It's so small and hard to see You can find it if you go to a crowded place It's so cute Caution: You have to be quiet around the monkeys #Bohol #Tarsier monkey

📍Bilar, 6317 Bohol, Philippines The unique tarsier that only lives in Bohol is a small monkey the size of an adult's fist and has huge eyes 👀 Since it spends most of the day sleeping, you have to be careful of camera shutter sounds and flashlights ✔️ When you see it in person, it's so small and cute that you lose track of time watching it 😚 There are also souvenirs related to tarsier in the reserve, so if you travel to Bohol, I recommend you visit 👍🏻 #TravelSupportEvent

Location: Bohol Tarsier Conservation Area Recommended reason: You can see the world's smallest tarsier! This is where the world's smallest tarsier is protected, and you can see it by paying an entrance fee. It's actually much smaller and cuter than you'd imagine. Mealworms are sold at the entrance. I thought, "Oh, I can feed them," but they were for humans. Atmosphere/facilities: You walk around a corner covered with netting.

#thingstodo Tarsiers are definitely one of the must see animals when visiting the Bohol City in Philippines. They are nocturnal animals that look like small monkeys and they only breed twice a year, one baby at a time - which is why they are considered endangered species. These species are currently protected under the Bohol Philippines Tarsier Conservation Area. Visitors are allowed to take pictures without camera flash as it may add stress to the tarsiers.

This is the Tarsier Conservation Area in Loboc. It is a sanctuary(not official) where you can observe the Tarsiers in Bohol close up and learn more about their nature. Exploring the area will take you on a fun little jungle walk, just follow the pebbled pathway around the sanctuary. It is strictly observed to maintain silence to avoid interrupting the Tarsier’s sleep. Turn off your camera flash as well. Getting there: DIY: Rent a scooter in the main tourist area of Panglao and make the 1-hour drive to Loboc. Scooter rentals in Panglao are around 300 – 350 pesos per day. With a tour. Entrance fee: 80 pesos. #tripblazers #cebu #bohol #travellocal #tripmoments

Bohol has become a shadow of what it was just a decade ago. The blatant greed of the tourism industry has ruined what was once a peaceful, beautiful destination. For any ferry, attraction or travel on the island, you can be assured you will make multiple payments to multiple people before you set foot on the place you set out to see or experience. Panglao is ruined. The tours are not worth it. Best find a place less travelled where tourists are appreciated and not taken for granted as a source to squeeze money from.

The Philippine Tarsier viewing experience lasts about 20 minutes, during which you can spot around 5 to 8 of these fascinating creatures. Each viewing station is staffed with attentive guides who not only ensure your safety but also assist in capturing memorable photographs. This is my first time to see a tarsier. It's definitely a worthwhile experience!
