Most memorable is the visit to the Tarsiers Sanctuary. So glad they are being taken cared of. The other fun time is the Loboc River Cruise. The lunch was very good and great entertainment. And our guide, Connie, is the best. Very informative and knowledgeable, friendly and caring. She made sure that we get the best experience of this trip. My sister gave her a 5 star rating! Our driver,Leo, is very pleasant as well. All on all, it was a wonderful experience.

Over priced

Anonymous, Mar 2026

Well organized, great drivers in Cebu and Bohol, wonderful tour guide Angie. However, the cost is way too high what what we see, missed manmade forest due to time constraints. After we talked about this tour with other travelers at the ferry, we paid way too much. Consider using other tour operators, locals or arrange from the hotels

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello. Thank you for your review. We will check with our team why you missed making a stop at the man-made forest when. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Weixing_G, Jan 2026

I had a great time while travelled solo with Viator. As the only tourist in the group, the guide (Connie) showed her professions and treated me as a group. The arrangement, explanation, introduction, etc. all made me felt well respected. I dad a good day and happy time.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you Mam. We are happy to read your comments and will share them to Connie. We look forward to having you again.

Great day of Bohol's beauty

Andrew_T, May 2024

Cyl was a great guide!! We really got to see a good amount of the countryside, and the women and girls’ dance group during the lunch cruise was awesome! We appreciated Cyl’s tremendous knowledge of the area and its history. She was delightful to spend the day with. We truly enjoyed the tour.

Fun Day in Bohol

AllyssaMarie_M, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Angie was so sweet and patient, especially with our energetic toddler. We felt safe and comfortable in our private van. The sites were the highlights of Bohol and they are memorable. Our favorite experience was the lunch on the river boat…we had the opportunity to try the local dance and music. It was an amazing experience to see the Tarsiers…they were so cute!

Great tour with great guide!

Cassandra_H, Mar 2024

Excellent day trip, exploring all the wonderful sites of Bohol!

Sophia_H, Jan 2024

The most memorable parts were the spectacular Chocolate Hills, which were a sight to behold. The tarsiers were also a unique site and the tour provided educational information on the tiny animals.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you Sophia for your appreciation. We look forward to having you again.

Brandi_E, Nov 2023

This tour was excellent. We were emailed ferry tickets the day before with very detailed instructions on how to get to the boat. Our driver picked us up at the hotel and helped us to start our trip. Ferry ride was very easy. Met at the port by our driver and tour guide, Elmer, who took us to a few spots in the city then out to see the tarsiers which was my favorite part. The lunch on the floating restaurant was also very cool and the food was tasty. Then we went up to the chocolate hills which were really fascinating to see. Elmer was entertaining and informative. I loved this tour.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hello Brandi! Thank you for loving our tour! We are pleased to know how much you enjoyed discovering Bohol with us. We look forward to having you again and exploring more of the Philippines. Thank you.

Fantastic day exploring Bohol

Adrian_R, Oct 2023

A fantastic day in Bohol - our tour guide Dali (not sure of spelling sorry) was so great, kept the energy up, had lots of great stories to tell and she made the trip very memorable. The ferry rides were easy to navigate and the highlight was the amazing Tasiers. It rained for some of the day but that didn’t get in the way of any activities. Great day out!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hi Adrian! Dolly will surely have a wide smile after reading your reviews. Thank you for appreciating what we do. Even the rain didn't dampened your enthusiasm and we are glad. We look forward to having you again in your future visits to the Philippines: Cebu and Bohol.

A memorable trip!!!

Judith_J, May 2023

I love all the areas we visited. Seeing the Tarsier up close was a wonderful experience. The staff on site were very helpful and accommodating. They accept tips which they truly deserve.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hi Judith. Thank you for your review and generosity. We look forward to your future visits.

Great Bohol experience!

Frederick_K, Apr 2023

Great tour and tour guide. Everything was very well planned and thought out. Bohol is absolutely beautiful and our tour guide was very informative each step of the way. Would recommend!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you Frederick! We are pleased to read your review. We shall surely relay to your guide your feedback.

No chocolate hills due to cloud and rain!

Barrie_E, Jan 2023

Due to the weather on the day ( it was atrocious heavy rain) this trip should have been delayed by aviator and rescheduled on a different day. Poor judgement in my opinion. All pick up etc went perfectly however and the guide (Johnathan) did his best. The chocolate hills were in cloud with thunderous rain. A total waste of money I am afraid. At the very least aviator should refund a portion of this very expensive excursion as a gesture of good will!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Barrie_E. We are sorry the weather has been very challenging lately. We do look forward to another day for you to appreciate Bohol and the tour better. Thank you.

Wonderful Day Trip in Bohol

It was a great trip. Divaish International made it a memorable one. Superb customer service. We are on time.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi James. Our apologies for the late reply to your review. We are grateful for your appreciation and we sincerely look forward to having you again exploring other destinations in the Philippines. Thank you.

Creatures and Scenery and Food, oh my!

Kevin_J, May 2022

The river cruise is exceptional. There’s a lunch buffet with Filipino delicacies. (You must try the Ube, a purple starchy vegetable. I will be seeking it out when I return to the States.). The scenery is amazing. Local children swing on rope swings and do fancy dives just for tourist adoration. The process is unrushed and is accompanied with live music. Tarsiers are endangered and still live in very few places worldwide. This may be your only chance to see them in real life. They’re tiny and you can get very close up. They are nocturnal, however, so don’t expect much motion. The Chocolate Mountains are nice. We did the optional ATV ride there. These were the trips highlights.

Response from Host, May 2022

Hi Kevin! It feels great to read your enthusiasm and enjoyment. Thank you for sharing such wonderful reviews. We hope to have you back and explore more of our islands.

Kyle H, May 2017

The trip was amazing! The transportation was flawless with seamless transitions. The tarsiers were so cute and you see them only inches away! Later the lunch on the river was a nice relaxing experience. This was followed by the famous chocolate hills - which are a MUST SEE for any world traveler. Finally we finished the day with a trip to the local butterfly sanctuary and historical church sites. Advice: There are well over 100 steps to the top of the chocolate hills observatory. Also, the butterfly sanctuary had the best homemade ice cream!
