Bohol island, why you must visit bohol.

It is indeed true that not only apples keep the doctors away — nature does it as well. And when talking about serenity and off the beaten tracks, Bohol is definitely a place to be. From the depths of blue ocean to the warmth of the powdery sand, there’s more for you to savor throughout the year in this beautiful island province.

With the rich natural wonder that this archipelago beholds, it became one of the most popular tourist-friendly attractions in the Philippines. It is located in Central Visayas consisting of diverse sub-islands. Just so you know, Bohol is the tenth largest island in the country.

Just before this place was known for its superb on and off the shore experiences, Bohol has been a home of Carlos P. Garcia, the eighth president of the Philippines. A product of Boholanos’ ethnolinguistic intelligence and skills. And a proud descendant of the last group of settlers in the country called “pintados”.

Traverse into the world of adventure with the cute-bug eye tarsiers, tiny humpy hills, and breathtaking diving experience. You can also unwind under the shades of large coconut trees around the shore. More often, jumping to an escapade of ecotourism set up is one of the best ways to enjoy this island.

Also, try to know more about the diverse culture of Bohol by experiencing the beautiful lifestyle of their people. Eat like Boholanos. Talk like Boholanos. Celebrate like Boholanos. And have the best holiday journey you will ever have!

Holy Week | March to April 

The Holy Week falls within the best time range to visit Bohol in terms of weather. Thus, many local visitors flock to Bohol's beaches during the months of March to April.

The Holy Week is considered a holiday in the Philippines. You can expect large crowds during this time, a great opportunity to meet and mingle with locals.

If you prefer fewer crowds while still making the best out of the dry season, you can plan your trip in January, February, and May.

Every year, Bohol celebrates the Sandugo Festival in Tagbilaran City. The festival commemorates the historic blood compact (Sandugo) between Datu Sikatuna of Bohol and Spanish Conquistador, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. It is a month-long festival that involves beauty pageants and street dancing competitions.

What to Wear 

When visiting Bohol, expect a tropical climate. So dress in casual breathable clothes, especially during the dry months. If you're in the malls or outdoors at night, especially during the holiday or rainy season, it's best to bring a light jacket with you to keep you warm.

Bohol is the prime tourist destination for local and foreign travelers. It is accessible from the major cities of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, which are the primary island groups of the Philippine archipelago.

Major jump-offs in Luzon include the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila and Clark International Airport in Angeles City, Pampanga. On the other hand, Davao International Airport in Davao City is the primary jump-off in Mindanao.

Hence, you might want to book your accommodations in Panglao Island itself or start your Bohol adventure in the tourist spots in Panglao for your convenience. If you booked a hotel in Tagbilaran, there is a regular air-conditioned bus from the airport to Island City Mall in Tagbilaran City.

At the moment, Bohol is only connected to domestic destinations. If you are coming from outside of the Philippines, you will have to fly to Luzon or Mindanao to catch a plane to Bohol.

From Luzon or Mindanao in the Philippines to Bohol

Traveling by air is the most convenient and hassle-free way to reach Bohol. If you’re coming from Luzon, you can fly directly from Ninoy Aquino International Airport  (NAIA) in Manila to the Bohol-Panglao International Airport.

It will take you approximately an hour and a half. Philippine Airlines , Cebu Pacific , and Air Asia have daily flights from Manila to Bohol.

From Outside of the Philippines to Bohol 

Bohol is an international airport, but it currently has limited international flights, which includes flights from and to Seoul. For other destinations, you will have to fly to Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Airport.

NAIA is connected to several international destinations in Northeast and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, North America, and Europe. From the Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport, you can fly directly to the Bohol-Panglao Airport.

Another way to reach Bohol is by traveling by sea. While this route may take longer, you will get to experience a different kind of adventure. Several ferries can take you to Bohol from Cebu, Dumaguete, Siquijor, Cagayan de Oro, and Camiguin.

From Cebu by Ferry

If you’ll be coming from Cebu, the fastest way to reach Bohol is via fast craft. You will reach Tagbilaran Port after two hours. OceanJet has several trips from Bohol to Cebu every day. 

You can also take the slow ferry to get to Tagbilaran. Lite Ferries have daily trips to Tagbilaran. While a slow ferry is cheaper than a fast craft, it will take you four hours to reach Bohol.

There are five major passenger ports in Cebu; Pier 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Take note that OceanJet and Lite Ferries operate at Pier 1. You can purchase your tickets at the ferry terminal, but it is more advisable to buy them in advance.

If you're coming from Dumaguete City , you can travel to Bohol by fast ferry. The trip to Bohol from Dumaguete will only take two hours. There are limited options when you're going to Bohol from Dumaguete.

OceanJet has two visits to Tagbilaran every day. If you're traveling during peak season, be sure to book your tickets in advance, as they usually sell out quickly.

From Siquijor by Ferry

If you're in Siquijor, you can travel to Bohol by fast ferry. The trip will only take approximately one hour and a half. Similar to Dumaguete, you'll have limited options when traveling from Siquijor to Bohol.

OceanJet has one fast ferry trip from Larena, Siquijor to Tagbilaran, Bohol every day. If you're going to Bohol during peak season, be sure to book your tickets in advance, as they usually sell out quickly. 

From Camiguin by Ferry

If you’re in Camiguin , you can travel to Bohol via the Roll On, Roll Off (RoRo) vessel. A RoRo is a vessel commonly used to transport wheeled vehicles such as buses across the sea to various island provinces in the Philippines.

Super Shuttle only offers one daily RoRo trip from Balbagon Pier in Mambajao, Camiguin to Jagna Pier in Bohol. The trip will take approximately four hours. Jagna is at two hours away from Tagbilaran City, and one hour and a half from Panglao Island.

From Davao via Cagayan de Oro or Butuan by Ferry

No ferries are plying from Davao to Bohol. However, you can head to Nasipit Port in Butuan or to Cagayan de Oro Port where you can take a ferry to Bohol.

Lite Ferry offers four trips from Nasipit to Jagna every week. The trip typically takes 7 hours. On the other hand, Cokaliong Shipping Lines has one trip from Nasipit to Jagna every week. The journey takes 5 hours.

Take note that the drive from Davao City to Nasipit is six hours, whereas the drive from Davao to Cagayan de Oro is five hours. These routes are a long way to get to Bohol. You can always fly directly from Davao to Bohol. But if you fancy a road trip through Mindanao, then this route can be quite an experience.  

Take note that once you arrive at the Bohol-Panglao International Airport, taxis will be your only transportation option. Jeepneys and tricycles are not allowed in the airport complex. So unless you have pre-arranged transportation to fetch you and take you to your accommodations, you’ll have to take a taxi. 

However, if you’re coming to Bohol by sea, you’re in luck. You can find plenty of tricycles and some taxis around the Tagbilaran Port. Tricycles can bring you to most locations within Tagbilaran City and neighboring towns.

You will need to hop on a jeepney, a bus, a van for hire (popularly called V-Hire), or motorbikes for hire (known as habal-habal) to get to distant towns. 

Another essential thing first-time travelers to Bohol need to know are the main transportation terminals around the island. Take note of these areas where you can board the transportation options when getting around Bohol.

City Square Mall

If you're traveling within Tagbilaran or to nearby towns, head to the City Square Mall. It is where you will find public transport for short distances destinations such as Lila, Baclayon, Cortes, Corella, and Loboc. If you’re heading to the historic Baclayon Church or Loboc River, you can catch a ride at City Square Mall in Tagbilaran City. 

Island City Mall- Dao Integrated Bus and Jeepney Terminal 

Most public transportation departs from Dao Integrated Bus and Jeepney Terminal, which is located near the Island City Mall in Tagbilaran City. It is where you'll find buses bound for towns such as Anda, Jagna, Ubay, Carmen, and Danao, among others. You can also find jeepneys or multicabs that go to Panglao Island here.

If you traveled to Bohol by ferry and don't want to spend a lot on a taxi to your hotel in Panglao, you can catch a tricycle to Island City Mall. You can buy supplies at the mall and hop on a jeepney to Panglao at the nearby terminal. This way you can cut your taxi costs.

If you’re planning to explore the beautiful beaches of Anda or check out the iconic Chocolate Hills in Carmen, you can also catch a bus at the Integrated Bus Terminal. You can also find a bus here to take you to Danao, where the Danao Adventure Park is.

Depending on where you're staying and your budget for commuting, it's essential to take note of the following types of transportation for a more convenient getaway. 

Van or Car Rental

If you prefer to get around Bohol in a private vehicle, you can rent a car in Bohol. There are several car and van rental companies in Bohol. You can hire a private car or van with a driver for your trip.

It is more convenient, especially when you're traveling with a group and doing  countryside tours of Bohol . There are also car rentals in Bohol that allow you to drive the vehicle yourself. 

If your destination is outside of Tagbilaran City, you will have to get on a bus at the Tagbilaran Bus Terminal near Island City Mall. On the other hand, if you’re coming from outside Tagbilaran City, take note that buses do not pass through the city center. They will only take you as far as the Integrated Jeep and Bus Terminal. From there, you can take a tricycle or jeepney to your destination.

Buses can take you to towns such as Anda, Jagna, Ubay, Carmen, Danao, and Panglao island.  Unlike jeepneys, buses have conductors whom you will be giving your fare to. Tell the conductor your destination when you hand in your payment. 

Several small independent bus companies are servicing Bohol.  Buses traveling to significant towns follow regular schedules, whereas buses going to smaller towns only have a few trips per day.

Jeepneys routes in Bohol are not numbered. Instead, their signages will indicate specific points and roads within Tagbilaran City. Provincial jeepneys, on the other hand, will indicate the town name. Most routes converge at Island City Mall and Integrated Bus, as well as Jeepney Terminal. Some routes are also covered at the Tagbilaran City Square Mall.

You can hail a jeepney from any major road. However, jeepneys do not have a fixed schedule, and waiting for a jeepney may take up to 30 minutes. Additionally, jeepneys frequently stop to drop off or pick up passengers, which can extend your travel time.

When riding a jeepney, take note that payments are handed to the driver during the ride. If you’re seated at the far end of the jeepney, politely ask other passengers to pass it to the driver for you.

Be sure to say “Palihug” (Please) as you hand them your fare. Likewise, if you happen to be the one sitting close to the driver, offer the same courtesy to passengers at the far end by passing along their fare to the driver. 

When you're about 5 to 10 meters away from your stop, say, "Para po!" (Please stop), to notify the driver to slow down and stop at the nearest unloading station.

Motorized tricycles, or simply tricycles, are the local form of the auto-rickshaw similar to Thailand’s tuk-tuk. These public utility vehicles ply a set route in inner roads. Built-in a variety of styles that differ from city to city, these are usually made locally by building a sidecar affixed to a motorcycle. These can accommodate 2 to 4 passengers only.

You can hail a tricycle from any part of the city. But you can also find tricycles lined up in front of Island City Mall. You can hire a tricycle like a taxi or charter it for day tours around Bohol. This type of arrangement is tagged as a "special trip," and so will cost you considerably more.

V-Hire is short for "van for hire." V-Hires are air-conditioned mini-vans that can carry 12-15 people to routes across the major towns in Bohol. They are a more comfortable and faster option than buses. They also typically cost twice the price of a bus ticket.

V-Hires have designated stops, where they can drop off or pick up passengers. V-Hires have terminals in Carmen, Tubigon, Guindulman, Ubay, Talibon, and Trinidad. In Tagbilaran City, you can find V-Hires at the Integrated Jeep and Bus Terminal.  

If you're a solo backpacker or in a hurry, you can hire local motorcycle drivers to give you a lift. These motorcycles for hire are locally known as habal-habal.  It is often the only way to reach interior towns if you have missed the bus.

Habal-Habal is also a good option if you don't want to spend too much on a taxi or you don't want to wait for a jeepney. Fair warning, habal-habal drivers tend to drive fast over rough roads. If the speed of the driver is starting to alarm you, politely ask the driver to slow down a little. 

Only a few taxi companies operate in Bohol. You can usually find taxis outside the seaport and near malls. Taxi drivers will generally turn on the meter when traveling within Tagbilaran City. However, if you’re going outside the city limit, the driver may ask for more since he will have to drive back to the city to pick up his next passenger.

The Bohol-Panglao Airport is on Panglao Island, so staying at hotels in Panglao would be very convenient. There are several attractions on Panglao Island itself.

Panglao has a land area of 91.12 square kilometers (35.18 sq mi). It comprises two municipalities: Dauis and Panglao. The famous Alona Beach and Dumaluan Beach are located in the municipality of Panglao.

Another fascinating attraction on the island is the Hinagdanan Cave in Dauis. Additionally, Balicasag Island and Pamalican, both popular destinations to try island hopping in the Philippines  and explore  Bohol diving spots , are close to Panglao Island.

• Find Alona Beach trips and experiences to try 

The Alona House Reef is a popular diving site thanks to the variety of colorful sea creatures, including lionfish, clownfish, and frogfish, that call it home.

Balicasag and Virgin Island are also near Alona Beach. You can go on a Balicasag island tour to get a chance to see sea turtles. Virgin Island is an unspoiled sandbar that’s perfect for Instagram-worthy photos.

You can also catch a glimpse of dolphins when island-hopping from Alona Beach.

Dumaluan Beach

Dumaluan Beach is an excellent alternative to Alona Beach. It has the same powdery white sand and crystal clear water but has fewer visitors. The sunset in Dumaluan is stunning as well.

Dumaluan also has its fair share of beach resorts and hotels. The best part is the accommodations in Dumaluan cost less than those in Alona Beach.

Anda is two hours away from Tagbilaran City and Panglao Island. This town is an excellent option if you want to go off the beaten path. There are several budget accommodations here. Although it is a bit farther from the city center, you may want to check in at a hotel here instead.  

Anda is blessed with beautiful beaches, cerulean waters, diving spots, and cave pools. Anda's Quinale Beach boasts coconut-fringed shores with hardly any travelers.

Anda is also an excellent jump-off point for diving. Anda has pristine reefs, caves, caverns, and coral gardens that are teeming with vibrant marine life.

Tagbilaran City

Before you start planning your Bohol trip, take note of these essential practical travel and safety tips for a hassle-free and convenient trip to this beautiful island province. These tips are especially useful if it's your first time in Bohol. 

Major establishments in Bohol accept credit cards. There are also ATMs and money changers in the city center of Tagbilaran City. You will find the best rates at the money changers in Island City Mall, and on the street between Rose Pharmacy and the Jollibee Restaurant.

However, it is still better to bring enough Philippine Peso (PHP) with you, and smaller bills in 20, 50, and 100 denominations for faster transactions.

Additionally, always carry loose change and bills in small denominations. They will come in handy when you ride public transportation, or when you have to buy food and small items from vendors. 

The majority of Bohol locals can speak Cebuano and Tagalog. Most locals also understand English well, so don't be afraid to ask questions or directions. Say "Hello," first when approaching them to establish a friendly tone.
