There is no loosing of the time :) the main boat has one more smaller boat for faster transport on crowded spots n where the water is shallow. The adventure starts with the dolphins watching (don’t expect to see them every time) but you can enjoy in different activities as cruising with the boat on the sea,…”

Talking with another guest at the same hotel who also was picked up at the same time, who was told the driver would be there at 7AM. This extra time could have been used to sleep a little longer or get breakfast.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 152 reviews · from $79Top rated

This 5 to 6-hour private Bohol tour combines the Chocolate Hills, a tarsier sanctuary, Bilar Man-Made Forest, Baclayon Church, the Blood Compact Monument, and a Loboc River lunch cruise with live entertainment. Guides such as Silo, Harvey, Randy, and Joemar are praised for safe driving, local insight, and flexible pacing.

“Our Bohol tour with Silo was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, he set the perfect tone by singing us a welcome song, which was such a warm and unexpected touch. The tour covered all the must-see highlights—Chocolate Hills, a scenic Loboc River lunch buffet, and a visit to the Tarsier Conservation, where we got to see these fascinating little creatures up close. But what really made this tour stand out was Silo’s personal touch. He took us to a hidden, no-tourist spot to view the Chocolate Hills, giving us a peaceful and unique perspective away from the crowds. One of the most exciting and unexpected parts of the tour…”

14.Pamilacan Island Dolphin/Turtle Watching Tour & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 96 reviews · 8 hours · from $70

Leave Abraham Bohol early for a boat ride across the Bohol Sea, with dolphin watching along the way. On Pamilacan Island, you’ll snorkel with turtles and see coral, eat a homemade Filipino lunch, walk through the village, and relax on a quiet beach. Guides have included Ruby, Sarah, and Dan.

“This was such an amazing day! There are a lot of similar tours like this one but for a much higher price, go for this one!!! It’s an early start but finishes after lunch which I like as I find the full day can be a bit long sometimes. The long boat ride is worth it as we saw SO many dolphins and then swam with turtles which was amazing. The diver guides were so good to us pointing the turtles out and allowing us to get close. The area of the island we were on was so secluded and intimate and the food was lovely. Recommend 100%!!!!”
