Visit the Kawasan Falls

After a short visit to the historical and important sites of Bohol, it’s time for another adventure before we fly out of Bohol! We’ve explored beaches and caves and will now head to one of Bohol’s majestic waterfalls. Though it has the same name as the unfathomable blue Kawasan Falls in Cebu, this Kawasan Falls in Bohol has its own grandeur to show off. Before reaching the falls, you will have to descend to the base via some cemented stairs for about 10 minutes. But trust me it’s worth it! At the bottom, a towering fall with a green-surfaced catch basin will welcome you. The basin here is quite shallow so it’s perfect if you want to cool off and relax! PRO TIP: This is a less-traveled path, so if you visit on a weekday you may even have the waterfall to yourself!

Historical Tour & Magical Falls

And finally, we are on our last day in Bohol! This day combines a historical tour and exploring the other parts of the island province to give you a complete overview of all this island has to offer. #travelessentialsinspo #falltravel #Tour #Touristoutfit #touristoutfitspiritweek

Island hop around Balicasag & Virgin Island

The islands surrounding Bohol and in particular, off the coast of Panglao, are very popular diving destinations because it’s home to an outstanding marine sanctuary! In these waters you can see rich coral reefs, sea turtles, dolphins, and, if you are lucky, even see stingrays and blue whales! The best way to experience this incredible place is to go on an island hopping tour departing from Alona Beach. On this trip, you will visit Balicasag Island and have the chance to snorkel with all the animals I just mentioned, as well as visit the beautiful sand bar on Virgin Island. you will be surrounded by nothing but the vastness of the ocean, there are tons of tourists and boats here every day. There are also restaurants on floating platforms that offer fresh coconut juice and grilled seafood.

Explore Hinagdanan Cave

Okay now it’s time to start heading back to your accommodation but not before stopping off at Hinagdanan Cave. Its name comes from a Filipino word for staircase “hagdan”. This cave was accidentally discovered by a local who was cleaning his land when he discovered a hole. Then he threw a stone down and heard a splash. Out of curiosity, he got a ladder and went down to inspect what was underneath. Lo and behold, it was a cave with a deep green-surfaced pool that is now known as the Hinagdanan Cave. The cave looks majestic because of its large stalactites and stalagmites, and it has holes atop that create a series of naturally lit spotlights! If you get hungry, there are restaurants close to the cave, and you can also buy souvenir items in some of the shops.

Road

See the man-made forest

On your way to see the iconic Chocolate Hills, you will pass through the Man-made Forest in Bilar. The forest is about two kilometers long and made up of red and white mahogany trees planted 50 years ago as part of a reforestation project. The road goes directly through the forest and with the trees perfectly aligned and uniform in height, this spot is great to take some really cool photos! If you want to go even deeper, there are also plenty of walking trails and a few viewpoints to stretch your legs inside the forest. #travelessentialsinspo #falltravel #Tour #Touristoutfit #touristoutfitspiritweek

Explore the Chocolate Hills

The Chocolate Hills have become Bohol’s icon. Since I was little, I’ve seen this in postcards and this special place has landed in most local history textbooks, tourism campaign materials, and even the Philippine 200-peso banknote. It’s no wonder it was even declared a National Geological Monument! The Chocolate Hills consist of a thousand beautiful, cone-shaped hills across 50 square kilometers of land in the towns of Carmen, Batuan, and Sagbayan. During summer, its green grasses turn brown hence the name Chocolate Hills! Well, who wouldn’t be enticed to witness more than 1,700 identical hills packed in one place? The best place to take your pictures is from the newly built Chocolate Hills Viewing Platform but there is so much more to do around the chocolate hills than simply look.

Take a Loboc River Cruise

After watching the cute little primates clinging to small branches, let’s head to one of the most relaxing activities – cruising the enchanting Loboc River! Oh yes, I chose this activity just in time for lunch! You’ll be cruising down the emerald Loboc river onboard a cool open boat surrounded by lush greenery with a live band on board to entertain you. On top of that, they’ve prepared unlimited delicious Filipino dishes for you to try! Starting from Loay Bridge, the cruise rafts down the river until it reaches a small portion of Busay waterfalls and maneuvers back to the starting point, taking around 1.5 – 2 hours. You can book yourself onto one of the many day tours which include the cruise or simply turn up at any time during the day and pay on the spot.

There are over 30 thrilling adventure activities both for kids and kids at heart, with the Chocolate Hills as your background! Enjoy the view of the famous Chocolate Hills while riding a bike zipline. Biking in the air may seem scary, but finishing the course is so rewarding.
