Bohol

Bohol is the Philippine island famed for its otherworldly Chocolate Hills, saucer-eyed tarsiers, and the powder-white beaches of Panglao, all packed into a compact, easily looped landscape. It pairs laid-back diving and river-cruise scenery with some of the country's most photographed natural landmarks, making it a favorite short getaway from Cebu.

Getting thereMost travellers fly directly into Bohol–Panglao International Airport (TAG), the island's main gateway, or arrive by fast ferry (~2 hours) from Cebu City's ports. Onward transfers to beaches and inland sights are typically made by taxi, van, or tricycle from the airport or Tagbilaran's port area.
How long to stay~3-4 days is enough to cover the highlights: a countryside loop to the Chocolate Hills and tarsier sanctuary, a Loboc River cruise, and a couple of relaxed days on Panglao's beaches or dive sites.
