Bohol Travel Tips
Bohol is a very nice place: excellent combination
of culture, nature and people. It is easy to get around because
you can rent vans or cars for a day and be able to visit several
tourist destinations among them: Chocolate Hills, Baclayon Church
and Museum, Loboc Church and Museum, lunch and river cruise at
Loboc River, a place where you can see tarsiers and take photos
with this wonderful creatures.
The drivers/owners of the vans/cars that we rented were very
helpful in telling us about the places that we can go to. They
were sensitive to cater to what kind of places that we wanted
to go. They would even encourage you to go to many places as possible,
and they were also very effective guides because they have information
and side stories of the places the we visit. You can have a van
rental - good for the whole day at P1,800. It's worth it because
it's hassle free and you can go to many places .
If you prefer not renting vans, you can also commute, however
you need more time for this because they would fill up the vehicle
before they bound for any destination. Also, there are several
stops before you get to your deestination. we tried this when
we went to Loon: it took almost an hour to get ther from Tagbilaran,
going back we took a van and just less than an hour we were back
to Tagbilaran - commuting doubles the travel time + waiting time
for vehicle to be filled.
Food: Sizzling squid at Bohol Tropics is superb! Mani de leche
which you can buy near the pier at a factory outlet of peanut
kisses is also delicious. They are great for taking home for loved
ones.
