6 DAYS
Bohol
Bohol Beach Escape
Six easy days on one island: Panglao's white beaches, the Chocolate Hills and tarsiers, turtles off Balicasag. A short trip with no rushing and one flight each way.
Not every trip to the Philippines needs three islands. If you are adding a few days to a business trip, combining the Philippines with another country, or simply want a short break by the sea, Bohol is the island we suggest. It is a short flight from Manila, the beaches of Panglao are calm and swimmable, and the interior has enough to fill two good days: the Chocolate Hills, the tiny tarsiers, rivers and old stone churches.
The pace is deliberately easy. One countryside day, one morning on the water at Balicasag, and one day with nothing planned. Want more? Add Siquijor by fast craft, or turn it into a longer trip with Siargao or El Nido. We will rebuild it around you.

Questions travellers ask
1. Is six days enough?
For one island, yes. It is a short, relaxed trip. If you have more time, we would add a second island rather than more nights in the same place.
2. Can I fly to Bohol from Cebu instead?
Yes. If your international flight lands in Cebu, we use the fast ferry to Bohol (about two hours) and skip Manila completely.
