Top Tours & Adventures
Here are five of our most popular tours:
-
Island Hopping & Swimming with the Turtles
Enjoy a scenic 45-minute boat ride off Panglao Island to Balicasag Island and Virgin Island. Snorkel in crystal-clear marine sanctuaries, swim with sea turtles, sunbathe on pristine white sand beaches, and optionally add dolphin watching. Private boats available for families or groups; singles may join shared tours. -
Scuba Diving
Alona Beach remains a premier dive destination in Bohol. We team up with leading PADI dive centers offering courses from Open Water (4-5 days) to advanced dive tours. Discover gorgeous coral reefs, schools of colorful fish, firefish, turtles, and more. All operators maintain outstanding safety records. -
Dolphin Watching
Set out early (around 6 AM) to catch dolphins at sunrise in Panglao. While sightings are never 100% guaranteed, our experienced boatmen maximize the chances. This is often combined with island hopping tours for a full marine adventure. -
Chocolate Hills – Tarsier Farm – Loboc River Tour
A classic Bohol land tour: Depart around 8-9 AM in a van or private car to explore the Chocolate Hills viewing platforms, visit the Tarsier Conservation Sanctuary, see the Bilar Man-Made Forest, stop at picturesque Baclayon Church, and enjoy a relaxing Loboc River cruise (with lunch if desired). Optional extras include ATV rides around the Chocolate Hills or a stop at the Python Park. -
Abatan / Maribojoc River Firefly Watching
Experience nature at dusk on a calm river cruise or paddle-kayak along mangrove fringes. Watch thousands of glowing fireflies light up trees and riverbanks in a magical display. Most tours begin at sunset (around 5:30-6:30 PM) and last about 2-3 hours. Includes hotel transfer, guide, boat fee, and environmental fees.
