= BOHOL SEA TOUR =
ALONA BEACH, Panglao Island
The main island is surrounded by about 73 smaller islands, the largest of which are Panglao Island facing Tagbilaran City in the southwest and Lapinig Island in the northeast, but the famous one is the Panglao Island where you can find easy-access establishment along the shore while communing the nature on its fine white sand beaches and it is generally associated with Alona Beach - a congested strip of resorts and dive centres on the far west side. While Alona doesn't necessarily afford much sunbathing privacy, it's a logical choice for those who demand tropical drinks at beachside bars after diving.
BALICASAG ISLAND
If you are fond on Aquamarine thing you can also try to visit Balicasag Island - the best diving site of Bohol. Dolphin watching is one of the activities that you can also try, i suggest you wake-up in the morning as early as possible and catch a boat that will bring you there, groups of dolphin can be seen near in the Island of Balicasag.
VIRGIN ISLAND
If you want to witness a beautiful low-tide in the offing better go to Virgin Island at around 11 o'clock in the morning and you'll be amazed on the breath-taking view that it can offer.

Loboc-Loay River Cruise (Loboc) - View the majestic panorama of the nipa palm plantation along the Loboc - Loay River. Sometimes wild ducks are seen feeding and swimming in the river. While cruising buffet lunch will be served on board. 
Hanging bridge – (Tigbao) , For a new spin on the term “Hanging out,” we check-out this spot, Cross the bridge and test our fun, fearless factor by allowing the bridge to sway and swing. Hold on tight though, and i advise do not try it if your heart is weak! and at the other side we got a chance to meet BUKO King and souvenir stores also awaits us in which we bought a factory price peanut kisses and kalamay sa bao.
Man Made Forest (Bilar) - When you enter this area, you feel like you are entering another world, one that is refreshing and you can taste and feel the fresh air around you. In 1960’s, a nationwide reforestation program was launched by the Philippine government. Mahogany seedlings were planted on a cleared area of 857 hectares in Bilar and Loboc towns. Fast track to the 21st century, the mahogany seeds planted almost half a century ago has grown into a breathtaking view and feel the coolness of the air and view the awesome display the thousands Mahogany Tree painstakingly planted by the local people.Adding to the grandeur of the forest is the road Boholanos call the “tina-i sa manok” (chicken’s intestines) which refers to the winding road up the mountain of Loboc going towards Bilar. Leaving the populated barrios behind, the road up the mountain is steep and on one side, a deep ravine which are all densely forested. The steep and winding road plus the ravine does not hinder the local drivers. They maneuver the road with the agility and speed of experts; a feat acquired thru constant practice.
When you take the Bohol tour, make sure to tell your guide to stop here. When you make your stop here, you will feel the abrupt change in temperature especially during summer or hot season. The overhanging trees provide a cool breeze even during the summer season. This mountain area seldom sees the sunshine and most often than not, it rains here. Local folks attribute these to the presence of the dense forest.
Butterfly Garden (Maribojoc)– want to learn more about butterflies?? Well these one is for you because upon entering the garden the tour guide will assist you and tell you about the butterfly life cycle, and types of butterflies among others. They would let you hold of the butterflies, and it was fun!
Chocolate Hills (Carmen) - major tourist draw of the province w/c was considered one of Philippine's natural wonders. So feast your eyes on the breathtaking work of nature, one thousand two hundred sixty eight (1,268) haycock hills uniformly cone-shaped limestone hills were named that way because in the summer, the grass growing on the hills turn brown, making the landscape look like it had chocolate mounds all over. 
Philippine Tarsier, Tarsius syrichta (Loboc) - See the smallest primate in the world, its name is derived from its elongated "tarsus" or anklebone. Known locally as the Maumag in Cebuano/Visayan, is an endangered tarsier species endemic to the Philippines. Were not allowed to hold them but we’d successfully kissed them and it doesn’t smell good..=D
Bohol Python (Antequera) - The female python, Prony, a 200-kilo reptile (and growing), is one of the pride of this town. She was found in a cemetery in 1996 and have grown abnormally to its massive size that experts say she is currently as big as a 40-year old python. Unfortunately, she was sleeping that time.
Baclayon Church (Baclayon) - Behold an old stone church along with its religious relics dating back to the early 16th century inside the museum. It is considered as the second oldest stone church in the Philippines.
Blood Compact Site (Tagbilaran City) - View the spot where the Spaniards and the Filipinos fostered friendly relations through blood. This is considered as the 1st Seed of the United Nations and 1st Treaty of Friendship between the brown and the white race. 
Hinagdanan Cave (Panglao) – One of the famous cave in Bohol. It is a naturally lighted cavern with a deep lagoon and many large stalactites and stalagmites. We really did not stay here much because there is a video & photo shooting on the other side of Lagoon, but we enjoy our souvenir shopping outside the cave because it is cheaper than other souvenir stores.ITINERARY
