Wanna Visit Bohol in a day?

For sure you want to try and visit Bohol. With all the buzz about the world-renown Chocolate Hills, the enchanting Loboc River, the wonderful mand-made forest, the cute Tarsiers, the old Baclayon Church, the Hanging Bridge, and the Blood Compact Site, I know you are excited to set your foot in the province.

Do you know that you can actually visit the wonderful tourist destinations above in a day? Yes, as in in less than 10 hours. No, I'm not kidding. I've tried it myself to test travel time and it took me less than 10 hours.

If you are from Cebu, you can start in the morning and finish in the afternoon in time for the second to the last Supercat trip back home. Isn't that great?

If you are from Manila, well, you need to really stay overnight in Tagbilaran because the plane flight back to Manila is only once a day (please let me know if this has changed).

And how much would a day trip cost?

Going to those places i've mentioned above via a van (if you are a group of five or more) would cost only P4,500. No need to worry abot the van's gasoline and tipping the driver is optional.
The P4,500 will take you to as far as Chocolate Hills plus stops on the tourists destinations I've mentioned above.

Lunch will surely be at the Loboc River onboard the Floating Restaurant (P280 / pax inclusive of buffet lunch and a cruise to the source of the river). Chocolate Hills entrance fee is only P25 (subject to change) and you don't have to pay anything in the other tourist destinations I've mentioned.

I can arrange your day trip if you like. I have a van that will take you to the tourist destinations for only P4,500 and the driver is courteous :) and knows the place very well. Car trip (if you are a group of less than 5 persons) is only P3,500 for the entire day trip.

Please drop me a text message or call me at 09196384069. I won't bite. :)

Cebu - Bohol Friendship Bridge

I know a lot of Boholanos and Cebuanos too are getting very excited at the prospect of travelling to Bohol from Cebu and vice versa via land trip. Yes, this is true and this is getting near possible.

The Regional Development Council has already approved the feasibility study for this dream project of connection Cebu and Bohol through a friendship bridge. It might take several years before anyone of us can make the historical road trip but at least the possibility is very huge.

The friendship bridge will surely benefit both provinces. Cebu, with an international airport, will become a transient point for tourists who want to visit Bohol (as what is happening right now) and Bohol's tourism and economy will surely soar with the influx of visitors.

Here's just hoping that the friendship bridge will not result to much commercializatio in Bohol. Here's hoping that Bohol will remain quite, peaceful, enigmatic, and enchanting with its simple way of living.
