  2. Visit Albay, Bicol next when you come back. You will not regret it! 🙂 Great post! I also read your Boracay blog. You two are amazing!

  4. First off, that first sunset photo is so beautiful! Secondly, when can I go?! Haha. I’ve never thought much about visiting the Philippines but now I’m considering it. It just looks so, so beautiful!

  6. After reading this, I am hands down convinced that I need to add this to my 2016 itinerary! From renting a motorbike, to explore caves, and the crystal clear beaches, I am breathless at this island’s beauty! How did you start conversations with the locals at the church? Were they automatically very friendly etc? What were they celebrating? Great post! 😀

    • Hi Andrea,
      So, maybe we’ll meet there 😉
      They were celebrating St Nino, Filipinos are really religious. Actually, they asked to take pictures with us, so we started the conversation.
      Cheers!

  7. I’m a SUPer so you had me at your first picture but then I kept going. The beaches, the Chocolate Hills and the people- it just kept getting better!

  8. Thank you so much for such a great post on Bohol. My husband, Daughter and I are starting our full time, round the world, life starting this summer and because we’re Filipino Americans who haven’t spent much time in the Philippines, we are going to stay in the country for an extended time. Bohol looks like a perfect island to stay after Boracay. I can’t wait to follow your footsteps!

  10. Wow – looks simply stunning! I’ve said this is the year I finally make it to the Philippines, and I need to make sure that happens. This looks like a fantastic spot for me to visit as part of that trip, so I’m bookmarking it to look at again later. Thank you! 🙂

  11. Wow, that beach is really breathtaking…I never expected it to be one from the Philippines. I love it when someone writes about their experiences from somewhere and you can really read their excitement and their fun experiences thru their words. That makes that place so inviting. And I can see from the pictures that you had such a wonderful time. I think I should plan my trip there soon.

  12. Lovely post about the sights of Bohol Island! I’ve not yet been to the Philippines, but your photos are so stunning, it’s just moved up on my list. I’ll definitely have to check out those Chocolate Hills! 🙂

  13. Too many people turn their noses up at the delicious food in Asia!

    All that means I guess, is there’s more for all of us! 😉

    Those islands and again the underwater shots look stunning

  15. New up n coming island everybody’s raving about is the Siargao island on the east in the Philippines. Also Malapascua in North of Cebu. There’s Siquijor close to Bohol. And of course El Nido n Coron both in Palawan. Backpacking crowd also raving about the ancient rice terraces in Batad and Pinatubo crater lake climb on the north. I’ve only been to Bohol and Manila. Can’t wait to explore for more! I agree about the lovely people!

    • Hey May!
      Siargao island was in our plans, but we enjoyed so much Bohol that we decided to stay there longer. But deffinetly we are going back to Philippines. Siargao, Palawan and El Nido were already in our future plans now you give us more amazing destinations to see… I think we´ll need at least 3 months to see and enjoy this beautiful country!
      Cheers,
      Nat 😀

    • Hey Tracie!
      I´m glad you liked the video, we just started doing videos, so it´s good to have some feedback!
      The hills are impressive to look at and it´s a good alternative if you get tired of beautiful beaches!

      Happy travels,
      Nat
      😀

  17. The pictures look amazing! I have heard such great things about Bohol. Sadly I did not get there! I loved El Nido and Boracay! I did not love the food but I did not think it was as awful as people were making out!

    • Ohh Sally, you went to El Nido (I’m envy now). We had an amazing time in Bohol and definitely we need to come back to visit Palawan and other islands.. Thanks for stopping by!
      Safe and happy Travel,
      Nat 🙂

  19. Try to visit Cagayan de Oro, Philippines too! With side trip in Camiguin Island and Bukidnon you will love it!

    I love your blog! 🙂

    • I agree with Chris. You also need to go visit Camiguin Island. It has lots of stuff like waterfalls, crystal clear beaches, hot springs, soda waters, cold spring, and cool forests!

      Somewhere in the south, the Island Garden City of Samal is a must-see paradise, too!

      • I agree with Chris and you! 😀
        We definitely need to go back and explore more cities and islands… The problem was that we only had three weeks to stay there 🙁
        Next time we´ll have to plan at least three months of travels, do you think it will be enough?
        Happy Travels,
        Nat

    • Hey Spencer!
      We just stopped at the Airport in Cebu and got the boat to Bohol from there. We didn’t have time to enjoy the city. 🙁
      But that´s why we need to go back, some many places to explore!
      All the best!
      Nat 🙂

  21. So happy to hear that you are enjoying the food Katie…
    Most of the travellers I talked with hated it, but I think most of the time it´s because they were afraid to try different stuff…

    Gald that you are enjoying your time in Bohol!

    Happy and Safe Travels.
    Nat
    🙂

  23. Bohol is a unique place, I´m sure you will love it!
    Especially the people, they are amazing. Don´t stay too long in Panglao, head to the tiny villages and you will be amazed!
    Happy Travels,

    Nat

  24. Hi, Oh! You haven’t been to Verde island Passage, they say (They, means the Scientists who’re exploring the area since 2011 for new species) its the center of the center of marine bio-diversity in the world. It is between the Island of Puerto Galera and Batangas (Luzon Island). Siquijor, Urban legend is that it is where the witches congregate. Filipinos avoided it but in recent years, more are braving the odds. Surigao (Caraga Region), ancestral gold were discovered in these parts. Kingdom of Butuan is located here (Pre-Spanish era). some of the treasures that was saved are being displayed in Ayala Museum (Greenbelt) in Manila. Next Davao City (Davao Region) is home to the Philippine Eagle and you will witness nature’s abundance here. I know this is in the Island of Mindanao. Off-limits but oh! There’s more!

    • Thanks for such amazing tips!!
      Philippines is a stunning country with many natural wonders. Wish we could have time [and money] to visit them all!!
      But I will keep in mind this list you gave us!
      😀
      All the best!
      Nat

      • Yeah. I myself have not been to so many places here. Though, I know most of Mindanao, and some of Bohol where all my forefathers are from. My uncles and grandparents would often ask when I would go home to Bohol, but my dad would say, I am a davaoeno (person from Davao) not a Boholano. A Boholano may have traveled the whole World but he will always come home to Bohol. Been there twice but I never visited The chocolate Hills though i know it existed since I was a child. My aunt would tell me as a child that it’s a land full of chocolates. That you can only dip your fingers here and there and walah! Yummy!. I grew up thinking it’s my oh la la place. Silly me. This is the Island where the humblest, happiest and funniest of Filipinos are from. They like to tell jokes and stories. Now, I’m in Manila. I know it’s an chaotic here but, it has something that i crave, aside from my work of course, arts and culture, museums, intramuros, cuisine. Filipino contemporary arts are good. You,d be surprised.

        • Loved the description of the Chocolate Hills, is not silly at all. It´s delicious, and makes all sense your aunt tell this story.
          And definitely the Boholano are humble and happy people, met a few of them and all them were great character.
          Enjoy Manila, didn’t have time to explore the capital yet, but know that it´s crazy with bad and good things!
          All the best,

          Nat

  25. Stunning pictures! Thanks for sharing this – I’m going to Bohol next month, and this will prove very useful. Was definitely looking forward to the chocolate hills and the tarsiers, but you got me stoked about plenty of other stuff as well now. And great tips on the food as well, which is something I was a little concerned about…Thanks again!

    • Hi Joe!!
      You are welcome!!! The chocolate hills and tarsiers are beautiful, but don´t forget to explore the whole island and enjoy the Loboc river… We loved Bohol so much that we considering go back on our next trip to Philippines!!
      Enjoy your travels!
      Cheers,
      Nat

  27. Wow you’re making me a lot prouder of my home town.. thanks for this blog guys. Everything you say here really speaks of Bohol. I was once a volunteer at the tarsier sanctuary. Much love!

  28. Hi Nat and Rob,

    Wow! This is probably one of the most in-depth, detailed travel guide/article about Bohol. You must really have explored Bohol well. 🙂

    I’ve been to Bohol a few months back and I enjoyed every minute of it, went to Chocolate Hills, Panglao, Balicasag Island and more. It is such a joy reading this article. I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay in the Philippines! 🙂
