Excellent Tour. You won’t be disappointed.
This excursion was excellent. Paul, our driver was very informative and helpful. A great day. The Loboc River cruise was beautiful and the food was delicious. The Chocolate Hills are impressive, even though they are still green due to recent rain. The Tasiers Sanctuary was very informative.

Absolute must do in Bohol!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We are a couple from Manchester, UK, and we cannot recommend this full-day Bohol tour highly enough – it was genuinely one of the best organised and most enjoyable excursions we’ve ever done. From the moment Dave, our brilliant tour guide, met us with a big smile and a friendly “magandang umaga”, we knew we were in safe, expert hands.
Dave was an absolute star. His knowledge of Bohol’s history, culture and nature is second to none, but what really made the day special was how he brought everything to life with warmth and humour. At the Chocolate Hills he explained the geology in such an engaging way that we actually understood it, then gave us plenty of time for photos without rushing us. At the tarsier sanctuary he made sure we saw the tarsiers responsibly and shared lovely stories about the conservation work there – we felt like we were learning with a friend rather than just ticking off a list.
Our driver Paul was equally fantastic. The roads can be winding, yet he drove smoothly and safely all day, always pointing out little local gems along the way. The air-conditioned van was spotless and comfortable, and both Dave and Paul went out of their way to make sure we had water, snacks, and anything else we needed.
The highlight for us was the Loboc river cruise lunch. The food was fresh, plentiful and absolutely delicious (the lechon was a treat!), and gliding along the Loboc River with the jungle on either side felt like pure magic. Dave joined us on the boat and the relaxed chat made it feel even more special.
Everything ran like clockwork from pick-up to drop-off. Five-star service, five-star experience from start to finish. If you’re visiting Bohol, book this tour – you won’t regret it for a second. We’d happily do it all over again tomorrow!
Thank you Dave and Paul – you made our Philippine holiday unforgettable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

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.
Are there guided tours available for exploring Chocolate Hills and the surrounding area?
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.

Yes, you can combine a visit to the Chocolate Hills with other nearby attractions in the Philippines. Many tours of the area make stops at several different attractions, including the Tarsier Conservation Area—a must-see for wildlife lovers—and the Bilar Mahogany Forest.
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.
