Bohol Itinerary, 3 Days – 3 Nights


Over a thousand chocolate hills at Bohol | Bohol Pictures

visit our very own Chocolate hills

Here is our actual itinerary in Bohol, accomplished last August 20 to Aug 22 ’09.  This was yet another boyfriend-girlfriend trip so I was kind of expecting it to be a bit pricey, but, I was relieved to find out that other people who had been there has spend more than us, and there were like 5 of them :)

Bohol is an expensive place to visit anyways, so I feel like our itinerary here can be justified. Aside from the essential tour expenses, I also included tips, donations and food trips to the actual expenses of this itinerary.

      Thank you for sharing this. I had such a wonderful time myself traveling and performing in philippine and this bought back so many memories.

    • anrol says:

      thank you for the info. we’re booked to go to bohol this summer but we would like to include Danao, Bohol (extreme adventure park). We will also do the Dolphin watching, Balicasag and Virgin Island tour on the second day. The guys from Danao suggested that i visit Danao on our first day. Will we have enough time to visit the churches (Cathedral, Baclayon and Loboc), man-made forest, Bee Farm (is there tarsier here already?), Chocolate Hills and Loboc river (cruise/lunch) if our flight back to Manila is at 4:55 pm.
      would appreciate your thoughts on this.

      thanks.

      @anrol
      hi anrol,

      unfortunately no. Though yung van driver namin may sinervice syang tourists na magpunta sa danao. Depende sa gagawin nyong activity, kung gano kayo katagal dun. Van ride going to/and out of Danao is more or less 3 hours. You can contact our van driver for the details.

      this is very helpful for firt-timers like me. eventhough i have a friend to go with me who has been in bohol before, it still helps that i do my own research so i don’t go there unarmed. ;-)
