2024 Central Visayas Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)
Popular Attractions
Oslob Whale Shark Watching
Chocolate Hills
Magellan's Cross
Moalboal Sardines Storm
Alona Beach
Redrock falls
The calm, cold, and refreshing water coming from the falls is enough to soothe anyone’s’ search for comfort. Just take a deep breath, take a dip, and enjoy the rejuvenating ambiance. This place was given with such a name due to the color of the rocks found in the area. It cascades down to a sulfur deposit which makes the color of the water into a red-orange one, thus, making it ideally unusual for tourists to flock.

Bohol is an island province in the Philippines and is the most beautiful of the 7,000 islands in the Philippines. There are both primitive jungle features and laid-back idyllic scenery, and it is the sea here that is deeply rooted in my heart. The white sands reflect the waters in layers; the large faults on the sea floor are quite magnificent and are a paradise for diving enthusiasts.
and the weather here is very flat all year round, with little typhoon interference, the beach formed by the alluvial sands of the sea, even in the sun of the sun, it will still feel cool when stepped on. A small island that is especially suitable for vacations~

Cebu Ocean
Visiting Island in Cebu was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend to any adventure seeker. Nestled in the pristine waters of the Philippines, Puguad Island is a hidden gem known for its untouched natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, and serene atmosphere.
My journey began with a short boat ride from the mainland, during which the sight of the island slowly coming into view was mesmerizing. The white sandy beaches, fringed with lush greenery, set against the backdrop of turquoise water, felt like a scene straight out of a postcard. The tranquility of the island immediately put me at ease, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. #travel #cebu

Fun and inexpensive Bohol Island in the Philippines
The most popular travel destination in the Philippines, Boracay, which is occupied by tourists, is not my first choice. I like a small tourist island with a low commercial atmosphere. Bohol Island is definitely worth the fare, small crowd, few people, cheap, fun, treasure island!
Bohol Island eats, travels, plays, and dives, it meets all your fantasies about the island! Avoid the densely packed tourists, and you will not regret choosing Bohol!
1️⃣The scenery of Bohol Island is more primitive and natural. 2️⃣There are not many tourists. 3️⃣The key point is that it's very cheap!!! Renting a motorcycle for one day costs 320 pesos, which is just over 200 RMB. You can stay in a unique hotel and eat at Island's popular restaurants with the money you would spend on McDonald's in Boracay.
Boracay Island is relatively large in area, and it takes basically one day to explore the small area of Long Beach Island... But to be honest, the proper way to open up the Philippines is to ride a motorcycle around Boracay Island for two days, stop and admire the scenery along the way, go out to sea to see whales and sharks, and experience the feeling of riding a motorcycle on the island~
1: Cabagnow cave - a cave with a Mexican vibe
From Alona Island, it takes 2-3 hours to reach a very exotic cave. Surrounded by palm trees 🌴, jumping into the clear water on a hot summer day is super refreshing. Not many people know about this place, and if you're lucky enough to have it all to yourself, it feels like you're the owner of a forest!
Ticket: None
2: Hinagdanan Cave Limestone Cave
Departing from Alona Island, it takes more than 30 minutes to reach a rock cave that locals love to swim in. Swimming in the cave is definitely a new experience.
Ticket: Swimming 50 pesos/person, Swimming 125 pesos/person, Motorcycle parking fee 5 pesos.
3: Camugao Waterfall
Departing from Alona on Mint Island, it takes 40 minutes to reach this little-known and off-the-beaten-path attraction. Often, one can play under the waterfall for half a day before encountering other people, making it absolutely private and unique. It's a hidden gem!
Ticket: 25p (almost like it's free)
4: Balicasag Island
From Alona Island, it takes 40 minutes to reach this popular attraction, which has been rated as one of the world's top diving spots. There are many people here, and you can choose from scuba diving, free diving, and snorkeling. I chose scuba diving, and it was definitely worth the money. The sea floor is clear and I even encountered several large sea turtles and the famous Jack Storm. It truly deserves its reputation as a world-famous diving spot. If you want to dive in Balicasag, you need to book with a diving shop. I chose a local diving shop called Heatwave Diving, which includes lunch.
To travel on Bohol Island, you need a motorcycle as many places are not accessible by walking, including many restaurants scattered throughout different districts. For example, the first internet-famous restaurant, Mist Restaurant (Mist), is a 5-minute ride from Alona. We recommend trying the flame chicken at Mist Restaurant, which is absolutely authentic.👍

AtV in bohol was optionally offered to those people looking for an adventure. It was a 30 minute ride in the rain forest following the tour guide. We paid about 20-25 dollars for the double ride where my husband and I had so much fun taking photos around the chocolate hills. #wintergetaway

Sapitan River is originally made for the people crosiing the area, but it became one of the well-liked attractions in the province, maybe because of the fun and adventure that you could feel while crossing on the bridge. That is why it is mostly visited by both local and foreign tourists. The bridge is swaying and bouncing every time someone is crossing. Well, that's the adventure! #wintergetaway

Bohol's Man-made Forest 🌳✨
This picturesque man-made forest is famous across the Philippines for the way the trees bend inward. Can you imagine how giddy I was when I saw this in person. I really needed to steal a second or two for these obligatory picture because everybody does this pic when they go to this forest. 😅

Bohol is the tenth largest island in the Philippines, 70 km from Cebu. The Bohol Island dive sites are mainly concentrated in the southwestern island of Baricasa, Pamirakan and Kabir in the northwest. First of all, let's talk about its dive site. Most of the dive sites here have stable water flow, high visibility, abundant seabed creatures, fun to play, and are also very suitable for diving novices to study here.

If I can miss the sunset in Boracay, I can't miss the underwater world of Bohol. The Philippines is home to more than 7,000 islands, and Bohol is the most beautiful.
[Don't stop me, I want to go out to chase the dolphins]
One of the most attractive attractions of Bohol Island is the sea elf - cute dolphin. Bohol's unique sea environment and original food chain have attracted the Dolphin family to live in the waters around Bohol. The best time to watch dolphins is around 7am, so the best time to go out is before 6:30, so the chance of seeing dolphins is very big!
[Baricasa Island 1000m drop of submarine large fault diving!
Perhaps you have not heard of Balicasa, but you must have heard about the big fault on the sea floor. Balicasag Island is an equatorial coral island with a 45-minute flight from Bohol. It is home to the world-famous Baric Casa fault, the famous Baric Casa fault, which has a submarine gap of 1,000 meters.

There is a sea that is more blue than the sky, a blue sky than the sea, a sea line, and the island of Bohol is set in this blue. Half of the sea, half of the land, refers to not only the most famous diving sites, but also the world of wonders of the Chocolate Hills. It also has a cute creature that is endangered - the tarsier.
[Recommended Net Red Day Tour]: Tarsier - Net Red Highway - Chocolate Hill
tarsier is a precious small monkey, is the smallest monkey species known around the world . They are unique in the eyes - on a small face, with two large round eyes, the diameter of the eye can exceed 1 cm. They are very precious, few in number, and are extinct. They are the national treasures of the Philippines, so hope that visitors can not hurt them, don't touch them, just watch them from afar.
From the spectacles park to the Chocolate Hills, there is a road surrounded by greenery, which becomes a net red road. Get off here, take a picture for half a clock, various poses with a green background ,very cool.
There is a romantic legend about the formation of the Chocolate Hills. The giant Aragon has fallen in love with the most beautiful girl in the region, Ala Ya. When Ala Ya was bathing in the river before his marriage, Aragon couldn't help but take the girl home. However, unfortunately, the appearance of the giant scared the girl, Arya heart attack died. The poor giant was very sad and alive and crying, so his tears turned into a chocolate mountain.
Who said that only the sea in Bohol? This net red land tour route is recommended for you!

Arrived at Mint
Mint Airport extra pocket, two-story small building, right, it is so wide is the airport, when you come out, I don't feel what it is, when I leave, I see the whole picture, the feeling is the scale of the domestic county bus station. There are a lot of tuk-tuk cars going out, but we have already set a small face to pick us up.
First stay at the HANANN hotel, dine in the cafe, see the sea and the setting sun.
The room on the first floor is really cool, you can open the door and jump directly into the pool, but the second floor is also good, overlooking the Korean girl at the bar.

Teach you a day to play in Bohol
Bohol is a famous tourist island in the Philippines, where you can not only see the rare tarsier, but also play in the "Harry Potter" location of the Chocolate Hills.
Bohol Island is relatively large, and the attractions are very scattered, so it is recommended to charter a car, if the motorcycle driving experience is rich, you can rent a car to drive.
After studying the map, we decided to proceed from the Peppermint Beach Club Hotel to the Bee Farm, the Tarsier Sanctuary, and the Chocolate Hills. The
bee farm is located in the middle of Tagbilaran, where there is a complete honey production line where visitors can see every step of the honey product through transparent glass. The honey products in the souvenir shop are dazzling! You must try their home ice cream! The important thing to recommend is that there is also a restaurant with an unrivaled sea view. The
Tarsier Sanctuary is located in the middle of Bohol Island and is open 9

We usually say that Bohol Island is actually the island of Bangla Island on the island of Bohol. When I got off the plane, I had to get on the bus at the airport. It took about twenty or thirty minutes to get to the hotel.
When the hotel is no longer just a place to sleep, but an important part of a romantic trip, the hotel is becoming more and more important for travel. Every time I go out, I will make the hotel a top priority, because the quality of the hotel determines half of the trip. HENANN is a five-star native and has a growing trend. There is one on Bohol Island, five in Long Beach, and one in construction.
As you can see from the hotel's aerial map, the hotel's pool area is not small. If you live on the first floor, you can push the door and jump directly into the pool. The size of the room is also very large, the color of the wood, and Shangri-La have the same feeling. There are no curtains in the room, which is adjusted by the blinds of the two doors. The bathroom and the glass partition of the room add a sense of space. The quality of disposable supplies is also good. The area of the private beach of the store is not very large. Thin and long. There is a row of aunts that kill horses by the beach. The price here will be slightly more expensive, about 70-80 yuan. Pressing and sleeping every night is the feeling that the holiday should have. When night falls, it is the best time to shoot the hotel.

Bohol is the tenth largest island in the Philippines. It is 70 kilometers from Mactan Island, Cebu. It is a coral island. The beach where the broken coral is washed by the sea is cool even under the scorching sun. The island's attractions include ancient churches, covenant monuments, etc.
There is no obvious rainy season and dry season. The coast is generally warm and dry, while the inland is wet.
Locally use local dialects such as Bohol, Cebuano and Tagalog. Almost everyone on the island speaks English, but has a strong accent.
A lot of beautiful women in the Philippines are Fissi mixed-race children.
The business on the island is relatively backward, but the tourism industry is very developed, and the islands and beaches are so beautiful!

There are many islands in the Philippines, and Bohol is the tenth largest island in the Philippines. It has a certain status in many islands.
The island of Bohol has a very special place. Its white sand beach is actually formed by the long-term alluvial of broken coral.
The waters of Bohol Island are well-defined, with shallow green near, and deep blue in the distance. The ancient church and covenant monument are still preserved on
, adding a lot of cultural heritage to this island.

Cebu, maybe a lot of people have not been here, but people who have been there will never forget. Here, I danced with the Sea Breeze Coconut Grove, chasing the fast-moving dolphins, intimate contact with the gentle whale sharks of the ocean, and the close-up view of the world's most glaring spectacles, by the Chocolate Hills in the Harry Potter vista

The Botanical Bee Farm in Bohol Island
is arguably the place where I want to spend a few days in Bohol. Figure 1 Super delicious ice cream is equivalent to RMB 7 yuan, you can choose two flavors at will~ I chose durian mango, very pure ~ to play in Bohol, you must try.
There is a resort here, although there is no check in, but the short stay is hard to forget.
The trees are lush and the small farm is fresh, and the entire resort is built on a cliff. Near dusk, the sunset will dance on the sea, the picture is quiet and beautiful, sitting on the viewing platform to eat and drink is simply happy ~ ~
address: search bee farm can be found, the word behind the ice cream is the English name ~~

Just a 15-minute drive from Marktan Airport, BE Resort is close to the sea and offers a quiet and comfortable environment.
The hotel has a beautiful infinity pool, which resembles the sea water and the infinity pool. Sitting on the edge of the pool is the feeling of embracing the sea.
We also enjoyed the BE resort, the open-air dinner prepared by the hotel chef, the dishes are very good, the seafood is excellent, and the desserts show the chef's good skills.
Outdoors, tasting food, watching the sunset reddish the sky, watching the stars rise, food and nature so much. #

On New Year's Day, I went to the Philippines to watch the quintessence of the Chinese ethics.
The Philippines has a thousand-year-old sports
Filipinos. Every family will raise cockfighting
when two roosters are on the court, each chickens legs are tied. There was a sharp blade. We thought that the cockfighting was just a stab wound. I didn't expect a fight for a minute. One of the roosters was cut off from the neck and the blood died.
The main thing is that this kind of gladiator is brave and aggressive, once on the battlefield, only going back, or defeating the opponent, or fighting to death. This spirit of death is somewhat irritating to the audience. Perhaps because of this, many Filipino males are idling as idols, and they treat them with respect and respect.
After watching a few rounds, we have been unable to continue to stay and watch. Looking at the crowd shouting around the arena, I can't help but feel a little bit.
Such a bloody and cruel cockfighting activity, as a national "national quintessence" of a country, what a magical country?
ZSN.
I am coming to Bohol, spectacles and dolphins waiting for me! First stay at the HIENN hotel, dine in the ancestral hall, see the sea and the setting sun.
You can also complete the massage on your own balcony, overlooking the Korean girl in the pool.
