★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 804 reviews · 7 hours · from $43Our pick

Bohol in one premium day: Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, a mahogany forest walk, then a Loboc River cruise with buffet and music.

“Our tour was amazing! The whole team went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable for the day. Mary was so upbeat, friendly and a brilliant guide, giving some interesting information about the sites visited. We felt in safe hands with our driver and there were plenty of loo/refreshment stops! One of our party is vegan and we were worried about them not being able to eat anything on the boat lunch but the team got a plate of noodles/veg especially made and pointed out the parts of the buffet which fit her dietary requirements. Overall a really well thought out tour and I would definitely recommend!”
