Bohol's Chocolate Hills, Tarsiers + Loboc River Cruise | PHILIPPINES

The top must-do activities in Bohol, Philippines is to visit the iconic Chocolate Hills and get a glimpse of the tiny Philippine tarsiers. That's exactly what we did as well as a quick stop off at the man-made forest and a fun cruise down Loboc River, enjoying a buffet lunch and some unexpected live music and dancing.
If you want to organise a custom self-tour of attractions around Bohol using a tri-cab/tricycle/tuk tuk, we found our driver Alex to be both punctual and friendly. You can contact him via WhatsApp or mobile to enquire about hiring his services. If you do, please let him know you found him through our video :)

⭐ BONUS TIPS ⭐
▸ Most tour groups will take tourists to the "Loboc Tarsier Conservation Area" in Bilar as it's closer to all the other popular attractions however the Philippine Tarsier Foundation in Corella (the one we visited) is the actual non-profit private organization in the Philippines that seeks to protect the Philippine tarsier. Be sure to visit the one in Corella if you can.
▸ We didn't need to pre-book any activity tickets. All were easy to just purchase on the day at their ticket offices.
▸ There are a few places around Bohol to get vantage points of the Chocolate Hills, but it seems that the one in Carmen allows you to see the most hills which is why it's so popular.
▸ From the Chocolate Hills back to Panglao island takes just under 2 hours so it's a fairly long ride back.

[@PeterandYen]

[@Kiwi_Col]

Floating food, and hopping in the heat. Loved it! Thanks for sharing your joy with us, was orsum as always 😊

[@PeterandYen]

Hahahaha feel like we've had over 4 months of 30 degrees weather 😅 really starting to climatise now. It just doesn't show cause our faces are always shiny 😂

[@darylmckay]

Tarsiers!!😊 Definitely up for that. What a pretty and unique part of the Philippines 🇵🇭 👍

[@PeterandYen]

The Tarsiers were so cool to see ☺️ Def one of the highlights of our Philippines trip. Regret not seeing the Philippine eagle too, remembered too late to visit Davao 😅

[@rlim9947]

This is one of your more unusual videos featuring strange animals and places. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. That bamboo dance was impressive, and I think you've always been good at learning dance steps. I bet that given more practice, you'll be just as good and natural a dancer as the natives there.

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yeah yen has always been a quick learner when it comes to dancing or singing 👍

[@MattOrsman-p6s]

Envious as usual..keep the vlogs coming

[@lh6135]

Thanks for sharing. For our little furry friends to leap 5 meters, that is feat alright and for them to return to their spot, their sense of navigation is much better than mine 😅. Traveling upto 1.5 km, that is a whole bunch of leaps, 300 🫡 These are amazing beings The lunch was a feast and my favourite is the skewers Yen's dancing was really good, but can not help to notice @10:23 the lady holding the bamboo was concentrating big time😅, well done both 🫡 Have a great week ahead and take care yeah

[@PeterandYen]

[@bookwormfaith]

[@PeterandYen]

Pahahaha! I was looking at their gift stores for chocolate hills chocolate but couldn't find any... surely that would be the perfect souvenir 😂

[@bookwormfaith]

@@PeterandYen RIGHT??? missed chance....

[@ouradventerousdays]

The Tarsier is adorable. I love all small animals. If only Australia has the Tarsier. At first chocolate Hill is like a hill of chocolate after I watched this I know why it is called Chocolate Hill lol.

[@PeterandYen]

😂😂 if only it was real chocolate.. that would be extra amazing 😂 those tarsiers are really tiny! Don't really get to see them in many places at all anymore it seems

[@ouradventerousdays]

@PeterandYen I know there are a lot of rare animals we don't unless we go to that specific country. Now that you mention it, I want a hot chocolate. It's so cold here in Sydney. I bet you guys are toasted 🤣

[@PeterandYen]

Hahaha yeah we've had nothing but warm weather since December last year 😂 it's fantastic

[@blkth0rn]

Yes, it was artichoke heart. That must be the artichoke ensalada you've just had! I missed those! Reply

[@PeterandYen]

Ooooo I see thank you for steering us in the right direction with that dish 👍

[@blkth0rn]

@@PeterandYen It is a tasty dish which I have loved. I couldn’t remember when was the last time I had it. I am glad that you have enjoyed your Phil trip and appreciated the food. It was enjoyable to see how you try some strange food and see your reactions! It has surely warms the hearts of every Filipino especially those who live in NZ. Thank you! :)

[@davidbeazley1958]

Looks a bit like artichoke 👍🏽

[@PeterandYen]

Think you're right David! That vege gets me when we're in south east Asia cause it always takes on the flavor of what it's cooked in 😅
