Review of Cebu to Bohol’s 14-hour countryside tour, with Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, Baclayon Church, and a Loboc River buffet cruise.

“every thing went smoothly, especially with the rain. i also felt that our guide made sure we weren’t waiting long, and maneuvered around rain and fog so that our view wasn’t obstructed. she also gave a very good account of history and life in the island and was just generally warm and approachable. the lunch cruise had good food and view, i’ve done this 3 times but my daughter has never been - i thought it was a great experience for us both. We saw 6-7 Adorable Tarsiers - that was a treat !”

Cruise Puerto Princesa Bay at sunset, enjoy dinner on board, and watch fireflies and bioluminescent plankton near the mangroves.

“Well organised. Comfortable mini-van pickup. When departing Bay Walk enormous flocks of giant fruit bats flew over us which was amazing. A full moon shone on us and we sailed across the bay. We were in the first group who joined a smaller boat for the mangrove trip and watched the tiny fireflies in the trees like tiny fairy lights. It was amazing. Just like magic one flew over to our boat and landed on it. Then we returned to our main boat and enjoyed a delicious buffet meal, whilst the second group went out to the mangrove. Great evening out. Could do with a little music on our return…”

We were the only tour out on the sea spotting the whale sharks, just looking where the birds are, because underneath is fish and with that fish there might me a whale shark swimming, and there was! Apart from that we saw many dolphins who were playing with the tip of the boat and we followed them for a little bit, so beautiful! The crew is verry skilled, verry kind,…”
