Considered a key eco-tourism destination in the Philippines, it offers a plethora of beautiful natural and cultural attractions.
A true-trail-blazer, entry into Bohol is through the famed Bohol-Panglao International Airport, dubbed “the green gateway to the world” and the country’s first eco-airport. The airport is solar powered in part to its passenger terminals.
Perhaps the most popular tourist attractions on the island of Bohol are the iconic Chocolate Hills. Deriving its name from the changing color pattern of green to brown during the dry season, it presents a perfect view from its adventure park.
The island boasts popular diving spots such as the Panglao and Balicasag Islands that allow you to explore the rich marine biodiversity of Bohol where you can spot reef sharks, sea horses, and black corals.
Another favorite stopover is the Bohol Bee Farm. From its humble beginnings, it has grown into a resort for tasty organic restaurants providing farm-to-table dishes, and homemade ice creams, topped with a celestial ocean view.
