Bohol: The Countryside, The Rivers, and The Sea

Another river attraction is the Abatan River. During the day, you can take a cruise along the rich mangrove forests of Abatan River and at night, you can go on a firefly-watching tour! The sight of the moving and blinking lights from the fireflies is simply breathtaking. You’ll definitely wish to watch and stare at them all night. It’s hard to capture the beauty of these wonderful insects with a compact travel camera, but here’s a rough shot of what you’ll see there.

The Bohol Sea

After the countryside and fresh water attractions, it’s time to see the beauty of Bohol from another perspective — the sea! The island of Panglao is directly connected to the main island of Bohol with bridges so people no longer have to take a boat ride going there. It’s ideal to stay in Panglao when visiting Bohol because there are lots of attractions in the area! We stayed at Oasis Beach Resort along Alona Beach, a white sand beach with a good resemblance of Boracay as there are lots of bars abound for the beachside nightlife.

Aside from the nightlife in Alona Beach, you should also try island hopping in Balicasag and Virgin island. If you leave really early in the morning, you can go on a dolphin-watching adventure on the way to Balicasag island. It’s a different kind of experience seeing these marine mammals in their natural habitat putting up a show for their human guests!

After dolphin-watching, you can snorkel around the waters of Balicasag island. Balicasag takes pride on their rich marine life. They have spots for snorkeling and diving for fish sanctuary, sea turtles, and giant clam.

You can also enjoy a hearty lunch of fresh seafood dishes after your snorkeling and diving activities! Yum!

Now off to see this jaw-dropping beautiful sight: Virgin Island! The place looks endlessly amazing with sights of stretched white sand, clear waters, and blue skies. Ahhhh, the island life is real!

If you’re daring enough, you can also try the exotic seafoods served by the Bohol locals! These are guaranteed fresh catches because you will actually see the creatures alive before you eat them!

They seem scary and odd to eat, but I tell you: they are delicious! Definitely another highlight on your sea experience in Bohol!
