Nice trip to visit the Tarsiers and Chocolate Hills with Silo
This was a great tour to see the Tarsiers and the Chocolate Hills. Silo was a great tour guide and driver. He was very informative, funny and interesting. We spent enough time at each stop to get a good insight and take some great photos. I recommend this as a nice day trip.
Silo was a good driver and the car was in an excellent condition.

We covered all the major sites in 7+ hours. The Guide was spot on time and was even early for our meeting point. Bravo. Anne, our guide, did a great job putting up with us. She really helped us enjoy this day and educate us too. If you are looking for a private tour, please do this one.

Fun and Informative
Jimmy (Hieme) and Ivo gave us a private tour of Bohol. We saw all of the things that were indicated on the tour description. And both of them were very informative and fun to be with. I think it's the only tour to take in Bohol and is a must. We were very happy.

People Also Ask
What is the best time to visit Chocolate Hills to see them at their most picturesque?
If you want to see the Chocolate Hills at their most picturesque, visit between March and June when the weather in Bohol is driest, and the hills look the most chocolatey. Try to get there as early as possible in the morning to beat the crowds.

Yes, guided tours are available for those who want to explore the Chocolate Hills and the surrounding areas. Many tours departing from Cebu include visits to area attractions such as the Bilar Mahogany Forest and the Tarsier Conservation Area, along with a cruise on the Loboc River.
What are the Chocolate Hills named after?
The Chocolate Hills get their name for a straightforward reason: During the dry season, they turn a brown color reminiscent of chocolate. This is because the mounds, covered with grass, don't get enough rainfall to maintain their otherwise lush, green appearance, so they turn brown.
How do I obtain tickets for specific dates to ensure availability for Chocolate Hills tours?
If you want to guarantee that you’ll see the Chocolate Hills, your best bet is to book a Chocolate Hills tour online before your trip. Book as soon as you know your dates to guarantee your spot, particularly if you want to visit during the busy dry season or on a weekend.

What is the geological explanation behind the unique formation of Chocolate Hills?
While there are many legends and origin stories around the emergence of the Chocolate Hills, geologists believe they were formed millions of years ago when Bohol was still under the sea. The theory goes that tectonic shifts pushed coral reefs upwards and that these reefs were subsequently eroded to form the mounds.
