Travel Tips in the Philippines: Things to do in Bohol

When heading to the Philippines, although there is a lot of beautiful destinations to choose from, many travelers are visiting Bohol. A lot of these tourists are now particularly drawn to Bohol's wonders as it is now known as "God's Little Paradise".

Bohol is bountiful with natural beauty and serves as a sanctuary for all kinds of wildlife. If guests are desiring to maximize their long weekend trip to Bohol, their first stop would probably be the Mag-Aso Falls in Antequera, Bohol. According to Bohol Life Tours, it is considered as a tourist attraction of natural beauty in Bohol. With its Twin falls around 25 feet in height, they dominate the place.

It also has a large pool at their base. They can also swim at the falls, but they need to be careful as the main pool is quite deep under the falls and gets shallower further away. For the adventure seekers, they can take a walk or even climb up the far side of the overeat and make a dive into the pool below. 

In a more adventurous side, guests can also paddleboard at Loboc River. According to Rappler, many people are actually discovering Loboc as one of the best locations in the Philippines for stand-up paddle boarding, also known as SUP.

The 1-hour package for ₱800 per person gives tourists a scenic tour down the river, while the half-day package costing about ₱2,500 per person brings people all the way to Busay Falls, where they can take a break from all the paddling and cool off in the water, as well as get a relaxing lunch by the river.

Travelers can also take pictures at the Mahogany Man-Made Forest,  located between the towns of Loboc and Bilar. They can walk through this 2-kilometer stretch of lush greenery to find yourself amidst the most orderly set of trees.

They could also choose to dive or snorkel at Balicasag Island Dive Resort. For the sightings of dolphins, guests can take a trip to Balicasag, an island located off the southwestern end of Panglao, within reach via motorboat from Alona Beach. But aside from swimming with the dolphins, this famous site is also a diving and snorkeling destination, which is packed with so many other forms of marine life.

And for a challenging trip, tourists prefer going to the Chocolate Hills Adventure Park. As claimed by the Chocolate Hills Adventure Park official website, it is now known as Bohol's latest eco-tourism adventure park. The adventure park also offers over 20 thrilling adventure activities. Guests usually enjoy the Bike Zip and pedal their way to take a view on the famous Chocolate Hills. 

Moreover, for a luxurious escape with a friendlier price tag at the beach, tourists usually head to the Bluewater Panglao Resort. Their family loft and premium deluxe rooms come with a private veranda, giving their guests a view of the resort's pool. But a stay in their Family or Honeymoon Villa means that resort guests can get to cool off in their own private dipping pool. And afterwards, they could even visit the resort's Amuma Spa and loosen up your tense muscles with their signature "hilot" massages.

To date, a lot of travelers are now enjoying a lot of natural and stunning destinations at Bohol. Savvy travelers are now gearing up with budget travel tours in order to head to these getaways offered by the place known for its Paradise-like ambiance.
