Bohol highlights tour
A daytrip to Bohol Island
After our wedding we spent a few days on the beaches of Panglao, a small island off the coast of Bohol. We did not do much, except for one single excursion: a one-day highlights tour of Bohol. We visited the famous Chocolate Hills, saw (and held) tarsiers, had our lunch on a floating restaurant on Loboc River, and passed by a few Bohol monuments.
