Lying just within just 3 hours travel time from Cebu, Philippines’ second metropolitan city and international airport, Bohol offers some of the best eco-tourism destinations in Visayas. Diving, snorkeling and dolphin-watching in the waters off Panglao and at the nearby Balicasag is acknowledged to be second to none within the archipelago, and mainland Bohol is the site of the famous Chocolate Hills and one of the few remaining habitats for the world’s smallest primate, the Tarsier. The island has also spectacular interior mountains and rich river systems culminating in well preserved mangrove areas which can be reached within a day’s visit.
