Getting There - airasia (not recommended) 1 hour 10 minutes flight time ( get delayed 4 hours on the flight going back to Mnl ) :( Attractions - Chocolate hills, tarsier sanctuary, balicasag island, virgin island, loboc river cruise Hotels - Bluewater panglao resort Food & Restaurants - The mist, molly bistro Bohol - great destination for people who like nature and relaxing your mind. I always wanted to visit bohol for a long time because it has everything i like : tropical beaches, green hills, beautiful river and friendly people. So I booked the hotel and air flight ticket just one week before going so its bit pricey , more than 5k for 2 way with only 7kg hand carry ( which i regret because i have to pay much more later when my hand carry excess weight :(() Hotels: I stayed the bluewater panglao resort, premier room with a bathtub for 4k per night, the room is located on the ground floor viewing the pool, it was amazing. i love the resort amenities, 2 beautiful large pools which very friendly to people who can’t swim like me. About the tour: I booked through LN travel on fb, but if you want to go island hopping just go to alona beach in the morning and ask for it. there are a lot of island hopping tours there that you can choose from for a discounted price since they’re looking for people to fill the slot. i paid 1200 for my tour included snorkel gear ( while the local only paid 900) :(( Island hopping tour include : dolphin watching, balicasag island snorkelling and virgin island. It’s a pity due to the weather we didnt see any dolphins that day. but snorkelling and seeing turtles in balicasag island were still fun. Countryside tour : 800 for a seat slot, you will have to pay entrance fee by yourself. so tarsier 100, chocolate hills 100, butterfly and python 100, loboc river cruise 850. so total cost around 2000 if you travel alone, kinda expensive. Overall bohol was a great experience, it’s safe , friendly and the definition of adventure. I will definitely come back here one day . balik sa bohol #beaches staycation #beachlife ##

They said when you’re in Panglao, Bohol, MIST is a must try. This cozy hanging garden cafe and restaurant has left the best impressions! The place has a great ambience and every corner is instagrammable. It has an island tropical and industrial vibe, feels laid back and casual at the same time unique and innovative. However, when we arrived, the restaurant was about to close for diners. But we’re able to manage to order take outs and allowed to order for desserts only. Ordered their best-seller desserts. For some reasons, personally don’t like the taste and texture of of the chocolate cake, its kinda dry. Still, I wanted to visit this restaurant again soon to give full review of their food and service. I am still curious about this well-known restaurant in Panglao. In no time, I’ll be back! #leisure #foodie #staycation #beachlife

Getting There - It’s about a 1.5 – 2 hour drive from Alona beach to Chocolate Hills, so make sure you’re prepared if going by scooter! Attractions - Chocolate Hills – One of the best places to visit in Bohol Visiting the Chocolate Hills is a must on your Bohol itinerary, and yes it’s a popular thing to do, but they are so unique! The Chocolate Hills are a geological formation and it’s said that they were created by limestone weathering and plate tectonic elevations in the ocean. Hotels - We recommend staying near Alona Beach on Panglao Island, this is where all the restaurants, shops and the main choice of accommodation is. Once you’re all settled it’s time to check out beaches and a cave Food & Restaurants - Loboc River is a must-see on your 3 day Bohol itinerary! The colours of the river will blow you away, we couldn’t believe this was the colour of the water. It’s very popular to catch a river cruise here which includes lunch (River Cruise price is around 500 pesos). We opted for a slightly different option after finding Food & Fables Cafe! Head straight here for some healthy Filipino lunch and you’ll have your own private area of the river to chill, swim and even SUP. Here’s the location – Food &#skiadventure Fables Cafe! Shopping - You’ll end your day in Tagbilaran City and we’d recommend checking out The Front Food Park to find some food. The Vegan Shack is our personal favourite serving vegan Filipino food and amazing fried sushi!#beachlife

This place is very unique with its Guitar or Music-themed Restobar. They usually have live bands and performers every night. The place is very nice and cozy especially in the inside. We had the chance to acquaint ourselves with the owner outside his restaurant, because we are now living here. Thus, we have more time to explore the majestic beauty of Bohol. The place is a bit remote and a bit hard to find if you're riding a car. We had to park outside by the highway because the road was one way but if you are travelling by motorbikes or tricycles then it's very accessible. We found it very cute inside because it lived up to its cozy wooden atmoshpere that they have live plants and a cute but huge tree which they protected and blended into the place. You can totally bring your plantito and plantita friends here! Lastly, I recommend taking a seat to dine upstairs because you can have a very nice view of the whole area along with the perfect view to watch the performers. And also in upstairs you can find a cute japanese/korean/chinese style of seating because the owner is Chinese. He was very accommodating. As for the food, it's good for sharing and drinking. But if you're looking to have a meal, it's not much of a place for that although we did have our dinner there. A total 8/10!! 👌🏾💯#

My dad recently moved into Bohol and he already knows all the hidden gems and that includes these types of beaches. The place was like both a beach and a port. And the built shore pavement truly made it look like a natural pool, just look at it! I think I also fell inlove with Bohol. This is just one of the stops we did and unfortunately, I can't remember the specific name of this one. But it is surprisingly the best beach I've ever gone into. Although I couldn't remember the name of the place, I noticed it was also a resort on top of the shore so I'll update you guys if I find it. It's a very aesthetic place to soothe your mind and relax, and also Social Media-worthy. Will definitely come back and hopefully get to swim because I couldn't last time as it was only a sidetrip before going to the airport back to Manila.#beachlife #naturalwonders #beaches #bohol2022 #boholadventure #bohol #panglao

I can't put all the pictures we took here. But the overall place was full of beautiful places, pristine white beaches and good food that will make you wanna come back for more. It was very magical and I love the travel agency which is owned by my friend and we were given a humble discount and a free accommodation at their big house in Dauis. I highly recommend this place rather than going to mainstream spots like Boracay (Because they also have a mini Boracay!!) and the flights are alot cheaper than others too (2.5k-4k if booked early)!#staycation #beachlife #foodie #bohol2022

The warm water had completely swallowed the entire sandbar of Pungtud Island when our boat docked. My niece and nephew could not believe their eyes. For the first time ever, they saw a sandbar, a lengthy, white sandbar that extended to the shallow sea from a small island. Immediately, the kids hopped out of the boat, ran to along the sandy runway, and made little splashes along the way. More commonly known to tourists as Virgin Island, Pungtud Island lies in the middle of a relatively shallow area between Balicasag and Panglao Islands. It is always a crowd favorite because of its C-shaped naked sandbar. “It looks like a snake!” my nephew exclaimed, referring to the shape of the island. “Or a tadpole!” shouted my niece. It looks like so many things. A comma. A bent spoon. A hair follicle. A sperm cell. Name it. Unlike in Balicasag Island, there’s not much to do here other than bathe in the sun. One thing I like doing here, though, is to just sit or lie in the sand with my body half dipped in the shallow water. There’s not much space to swim around either because the island is surrounded by sea grass. It’s alright for snorkeling because there are some fish hiding underneath. But it can underwhelm visitors who just came from Balicasag. But in the itinerary, I’d like to think of Virgin Island as the “relaxing” part of the tour. You know, where you don’t make much effort to appreciate the sheer beauty of the surroundings. You just lie in the sand, make little splashes in the water, drink fresh buko juice, share stories with family or friends, and just have pure, relaxing, fun time. Other times, we liked pretending to be part of Aang’s entourage and try sand-bending. #staycation #summervacation #naturalwonders #awesomepic #beaches

Great food, great ambiance, great service. Foods are very delicious particularly the beef shank and my super favorite Tuna tartare- a must-try dish here. The waiters are very hospitable and very attentive to all diners's needs, very welcoming and cheerful. The place is so Lit with and I am beyond impressed!!!!! Will definitely recommend to my friends and will definitely come back for the Tuna tartare. Dishes are savory with perfect presentation. Some dish are a hit or miss like the chicken Cordon Bleu which only have a small portion rather than their other dishes. The Crispy Pork with Kare-kare sauce is a must try. Check out their cocktails too. Some of the menu were incorporated with molecular gastronomy. Chef's kiss! Place is nice and surely looks like Mist (same owner). My only concern is the place where it is located. It can be crowded as it is located in a busy street/highway. Reservations can be made too. A fusion bar and resto in Panglao, situated near alona beach and other resorts. With carefully curated desert boho interiors, and matching well-plated tasty meals. Loved the Tuna tartare, grilled chops in basil sauce, and kani salad. The wait list is abit long during weekends so make sure to get a reservation before hand. #beachlife #summervacation #foodie #urbanexplorer #cafe #restaurant

The Alona beach is a popular public beach located at the south-west tip of Panglao Island, Bohol in the Philippines. It is known for its white sand, rocky cliffs, and commercial facilities that line the 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) stretch of the beach. It is located near a coral reef and is a popular scuba-diving and snorkeling spot. It is situated less than two miles from the Bohol-Panglao International Airport. The beach is named after Filipino actress Alona Alegre who ran naked along the beach in 1973 for the movie “Esteban” which she co-starred along with Fernando Poe Jr. The beach is located at barangay Tawala in Panglao, one of the two municipalities in Panglao Island, Philippines. It is situated around 20 kilometres (12 mi) from the port of Tagbilaran and about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the Bohol-Panglao International Airport. It is accessible by a sealed road, by car, motorbike, airport bus or jeepney. Alona Beach is rather small as it spans less than one kilometre (half-mile) of white powder sand surrounded by low rocky cliffs. The beach is connected to the Anos Fonacier Circumferential Road. An airport bus directly connects the beach to the airport and to Tagbilaran. #staycation #beachlife #summervacation #foodie #naturalwonders #beaches #awesomepic

In addition to staying in a hotel in Bohol, you can charter a boat and go out for a full day of snorkeling. In addition to choosing to go to the regular Balicasag Island fault and long tailing beach, Xiao Hei also specially asked us to take us to see Sardine Storm and Jack Storm. I didn’t expect it to be more spectacular than I imagined! How can such a beautiful scenery be enjoyed by just one person? Let me share it with you~ 🚣The boats we ride on are crab boats unique to Southeast Asia. They are relatively stable and most people will not get seasick. If you are prone to motion sickness, it is recommended to take some motion sickness medicine in advance. ❤️Recommended route: Chasing dolphins👉🏻The Great Fault of Balicasag Island👉🏻Jack's Storm of Balicasag Island👉🏻Virgin Island👉🏻Sardine Storm ✔️Chasing dolphins It's the kind of chasing with a boat. Even if you see dolphins, you can only watch them from the boat. Generally speaking, it is quite far away. Even if you see a dolphin, you can only see the dolphin's mouth sticking out of the sea. And sometimes the boatman will block the route of the dolphins in order to allow tourists to see them, which is not recommended👎 ✔️Baricasag Island Fault It is a must-visit check-in point when traveling overseas. There are many kinds of corals, fish, animals and plants near the fault, which are very beautiful. It is a recommended place for snorkeling and deep diving. ✔️Jack Storm in Balicasag Island👍 Although it is also Balicasag Island, it is not in the same direction as the Great Fault. I was really excited to see Jack Storm, which could only be seen by deep diving in the past, really appear before my eyes! However, the number of these Jack Storms is not huge, but it is pretty good for snorkeling! ✔️Virgin Island It is an island with a trailing white sand beach. It is more suitable for people who cannot swim but want to experience the white sand beach. There will be a variety of freshly killed seafood on the beach, including various grilled fish and raw sea urchins. Don't worry too much about hygiene and taste, the main thing is freshness. If you are not interested in these you can ignore them. ✔️Sardine Storm👍 Near the Napaling Fault, many free divers come here to dive. but! You can also see the storm while snorkeling! I really recommend this place!

Panglao Island is a small island located southwest of Bohol Island in the Philippines. It is famous for its pristine beaches, clear waters, and rich marine ecology. Alona Beach on the island is a popular gathering place for tourists, offering a variety of water activities and nightlife. Natural wonders such as the Chocolate Hills and tarsiers make it an ideal place for diving and beach vacations.

Extend the summer time in Bohol Island during winter vacation. The Philippines is summer all year round 😎 It has everlasting sunshine 🌞 and powdery white sand beaches ⛱️ as well as a gradient sea that looks like transparent jelly 🌊 The gradient sea water, from transparent, light green, green, blue, to deep blue, is crystal clear 🩵 You can see various colorful tropical fish swarming around at a glance 🐠 Everyone who has been to the Philippines finds it hard not to fall in love with this beautiful country—shadows of coconut trees, clear water, and fine sand. If you have many opportunities to travel abroad in your lifetime, you must come to Bohol Island; if you only have one chance to travel abroad in your lifetime, you should definitely come to Bohol Island 🌲 ⭐ Classic Attractions Chocolate Hills⛰︎: Located in the central part of Bohol Island, you can join a land day tour to visit. During the dry season, the grass on the hills turns brown due to the sun, and their shape resembles a type of chocolate abroad, hence the name Chocolate Hills. These hills are covered with vegetation, and the color of these plants changes with the seasons, temperature, and rainfall: tender green in spring, dark green in summer, egg yellow in early autumn, yellow-red in late autumn, and brown coffee color in the dry season. Balicasag🏝: One of the two most famous underwater faults in the world is in the Philippines. A beautiful, peaceful small island floating on the sea hides the world-renowned Balicasag fault. This is the junction of the continental shelf and the ocean fault, forming a particularly deep trench with a depth of 3,000 meters, making it a world-famous diving destination. Sardine Run🌪: Napaling is located in the middle of the northern part of Panglao Island, a long coastal cliff where you can appreciate the underwater ecology of Bohol Island without a diving license! Here you can witness the sardine run, where the sardine school constantly changes formation rapidly, and the sunlight shining on the fish makes them flicker, looking like the aurora from a distance, which is very shocking! Virgin Island💨: This is a small island that only emerges for 2 hours at noon every day and then submerges under the sea after the tide rises. The real name of Virgin Island is Pontod Island, an uninhabited island. You need to walk a long wooden plank road to get to the real Virgin Island, from where you can see another Virgin Island, less than 500 meters apart. Virgin Island is small, with a beautiful long trailing sand beach, and you can try the local sea urchins here, which cost only 10-15 pesos for a feast. @Community Benefits Jun @Ctrip Community Creation Center

The journey begins with a flight taken alone, Inhaling eight hundred bottles, making a hundred new friends. It could be more romantic, with the scent of the ocean, And possess the understanding and playfulness that the sea lacks. In fact, there are many dive shops on Mint Island, and over the years they have had their ups and downs. No matter how marketing is done, professional and responsible teaching is the real deal. I had an epiphany when I took the O exam in '19, and here I am again in '24~ I really like their often-quoted slogan, 'Every new diver is another guardian of the ocean.' —————————————————— Currently, there are five Chinese-speaking coaches, and six who speak English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Australian. It's truly international, able to satisfy any language requirement for teaching. And the coaches are very handsome!! 🤿 My coach A Le is a trainer of trainers, a teacher's teacher, super nice, with a strong professional attitude, who seriously instills the idea of protecting the ocean in everyone, which is very meaningful. Of course, listening to Minnan dialect is not a problem either. 📖 I really must praise the teaching ratio of 1v2, who understands this! In my view, diving is about enjoying the process rather than just achieving a result, rejecting assembly line operations, rejecting crash courses, learning solidly, and being responsible for life is really important. 🐟 Even the class location is at Napaling, directly watching the sardine storm, a place everyone specifically signs up for at FD. (Pictures 1, 3, and 6) 🏠 The dive shop also has a guesthouse, and of course, there is a shuttle service for the entire course duration, so you don't have to worry about anything other than diving. I've put the pictures of the guesthouse at the end for everyone to refer to. The main selling point is cleanliness and tidiness~ 🧜🏻‍♀️ Fundive arrangements are also clear and straightforward. Actually, this trip was disrupted by a sudden ankle sprain, but the dive shop was very considerate and tried their best to re-plan according to my schedule. When everyone else couldn't book at Barikasa, I was lucky enough to snag a spot~~ Overall, the entire experience was very good! Professional and warm, loving every person I met during the diving trip.

🐋🐋🐋 A breathtaking encounter with the gentle giants of the sea, the majestic whale sharks in the crystal clear waters of Cebu, Philippines. As I dove beneath the surface, my heart filled with awe and wonder as these magnificent creatures gracefully glided through the ocean. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that left me humbled and in awe of the beauty of nature. The whale sharks, known as the gentle giants of the sea, captivated my soul with their sheer size and gentle demeanor. In that moment, I felt a deep connection to the wonders of the underwater world and a profound appreciation for the diverse marine life that calls the Philippines home. 🌊💙
