🌴【The Ultimate Bohol Guide】Cheaper than the Maldives, less crowded than Phuket! This hidden paradise in the Philippines can no longer stay under wraps! ✨
First off, the cost of living in the Philippines is incredibly heartwarming, and the experiences and scenery don’t disappoint despite the low prices! I wasn’t initially drawn to the Philippines, but this trip turned out to be a delightful surprise!
1️⃣ Island hopping for less than 100 yuan per day! Includes visits to Chocolate Hills, tarsier sanctuary, and Virgin Island.
2️⃣ Crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches + swimming with whale sharks + underwater cliffs = Instagram gold
3️⃣ Just 3k per person for a week-long trip! Outshines other Southeast Asian islands in value for money.
▫️ Early morning dolphin watching (90% success rate!)
▫️ Snorkeling at Balicasag Island (witness the stunning sardine run at underwater cliffs)
▫️ ATV adventure at Chocolate Hills (same location as Harry Potter filming site)
▫️ Loboc River bamboo raft lunch (tropical rainforest + indigenous dance performances)
🍽️ Foodie radar:
★ Cliffside restaurant Tarsier Paprika (sunset views + Spanish paella)
★ Alona Beach grilled pork ribs (stuff yourself for just 50 yuan per person)
★ Hidden gem coconut ice cream (sold by local kids from pushcarts)
🚤 Transportation tips:
• Fly from Manila to Tagbilaran Airport (book Cebu Pacific promo tickets in advance)
• Tricycle haggling rule: Start with half the asking price, then add 20 pesos
• Charter a yellow outrigger boat (most cost-effective for groups of 6)
📆 Perfect itinerary:
D1: Virgin Island hopping → Dolphin watching → Church Island sandbar
D2: Balicasag snorkeling → Cliffside dinner at Bee Farm
D3: Chocolate Hills ATV → Loboc River cruise
D4: Heritage walk in the city → SPA
Three months later, I’m still dreaming of that glass-clear sea!
"More pristine than Boracay, more convenient than Semporna"
"Even diving newbies can spot jackfish here"
