Chocolate Hills

The Chocolate Hills are one of Bohol’s most famous attractions and a natural wonder that can’t be missed. This UNESCO-listed landscape is made up of thousands of small, limestone hills spread across the island. In the dry season, these hills turn a rich brown, resembling chocolate truffles scattered across the landscape. It’s the perfect spot for family outings, hiking, or even an ATV ride through the hills. The viewpoint at the top of the hills offers a stunning panoramic view, and it’s a great place to take memorable photos of the entire landscape.

The sanctuary provides a safe and respectful environment for tarsiers, where visitors can learn about their conservation and habitat.

Panglao’s White Sand Beaches

Panglao is renowned for its stunning beaches, particularly Alona Beach, where you can relax on white sands, enjoy the warm waters, and take part in a variety of water sports. The beach is perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and even beginner diving, with abundant marine life just a few metres from shore. Families can enjoy paddleboarding, beach games, and sunset cocktails at one of the many beachside bars and restaurants. For those seeking a quieter escape, Bohol’s less crowded beaches like Dumaluan Beach provide a tranquil alternative with clear, calm waters ideal for young children.

Diving and Snorkelling

Panglao is a diver’s paradise, especially around Balicasag Island, known for its rich marine biodiversity. The island is surrounded by coral reefs teeming with vibrant fish, sea turtles, and colourful corals. Family-friendly dive sites offer shallow waters and gentle currents, making them perfect for beginners and younger divers. For those who prefer to stay above water, the snorkelling is exceptional, with accessible reefs just off the beaches of Panglao. Whether it’s your first time in the water or you’re a seasoned snorkeller, the underwater world here is nothing short of spectacular.
