Before and after reaching the man-made forest, there are also naturally grown forests of Loboc and Bilar with a thick kaleidoscope of green foliage, different kinds of trees and giant ferns lining the road. You will immediately notice that you are inside the forest as soon as you read the road surrounded by beautiful trees.
This place is very peaceful, meditative, and you feel chilly, even during that hot summer season days. People called it the “dark-side” of Bohol because of how dark it is when you enter the place.

Stop At: Chocolate Hills Natural Monument, Carmen Philippines
Chocolate Hills in Bohol is a famed tourist attraction in the Philippines which continues to draw attention for its unique and majestic characteristics.
There are more than 1,000 symmetrical mounds, conical and dome-shaped that most people liken them to Hershey’s Kisses. It is called the Chocolate Hills not because it’s made of chocolate but because of its color.
In the rainy season, the grass blanketing the hills gives them a soft and lush appearance. While in the summer, the vegetation dies off and turns to a chocolatey brown hue, giving them their name.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Tarsier Conservation Area, Loay Interior Rd, Loboc 6316 Philippines
On the island of Bohol in the Philippines, it won't be long before you're bombarded with images and paraphernalia featuring the cute "Gizmo" like creature the tarsier (pronounced tarj-e-ar).
These tiny creatures are the world's oldest living primates. Nocturnal, by day at the Tarsier Sanctuary, you'll find them attached to a branch, lazily eyeing off curious tourists.
They are the only primate known to eat live prey. They can also turn their heads nearly 360 degrees.
According to a factsheet at the sanctuary, If kept in captivity, so depressed are tarsiers by the idea of a life in captivity, they will commit suicide by holding their breath or banging their head until they pass out, rather than face a life stuck in a cage.
Until the Tarsier sanctuary was opened, many tarsiers died in captivity so curious tourists could gawk at them in tiny cages. Thankfully, the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary takes their role of conservation seriously and with pride.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Loboc River Cruise, J2MH+WW8, Loboc, Bohol, Philippines
Bohol’s Countryside Tour boasts of the top tourist spots on the island. One of the most popular is hands down the Loboc River Cruise, where you get to enjoy a lunch buffet on board a floating restaurant along the waters of this calm and serene body of water.
The Loboc River is found in the town of Loboc, about 24 kilometers from the capital city of Tagbilaran. The cruise usually lasts for about an hour, and starts at the Loay Bridge or mouth of the river, then cruises down the stream until you reach Busay Falls, where the boat turns back to return to the docking station. The schedule for the lunch buffet is from 11 am to 2 pm but once you get on the boat, you can start munching on the food.
One boat or floating restaurant can accommodate a total of 50 to 60 people, so there might be some waiting time before the river cruise starts if there are only a few of you.
