My BOHOL Adventure

It's never too late to share a great travel experience especially when you're with good friends.

Bohol is an amazing place, Panglao is a paradise.


My trip to Bohol in with a few of my good friends is not something I'll just keep to myself. We actually waited for 4 months for this (having booked last May) and everything we experienced was worth the long wait, except for a significant amount of money stolen from my friend.

For those planning to go to Bohol or had booked already their trip, you may contact Mang Leonard for the vehicle that will tour you around. His number is
0921227508. Not only will he serve as your driver, but a tour guide as well. The spots included in Mang Leonard's tour are the Chocolate Hills, Butterfly Sanctuary, Man-made Forest, Hanging Bridge, the Tarsiers, Loboc River (where people have buffet lunch while cruising), the Blood Compact Site and Baclayon Church. Other tour guides, according to Mang Leonard, only go to 5-6 places.

After the tour, Mang Leonard suggested that we stay in Dumaluan Resort in the beautiful island of Panglao. And so we did. Since we're all budget travelers, we opted to stay in the treehouse (P1,200 a night, good for 5pax). The five of us were given mattresses and blankets. We made the best decision to just stay there because it got really cold during the night, no airconditioning required. A common CR is provided for occupants of the kubos. No worries because the 4 bathrooms are really clean and there was an abundant supply of water for each. You may even ask Mang Leonard to reserve the kubo for you.
