 Bohol, Philippines – BOHOL is the 10th largest island in the country, nestled securely at the heart of the Visayas, between southeast of Cebu and southwest of Leyte. It is very accessible by air and sea travel, with travel time of 90 minutes by fastcraft from Cebu City.
Typhoons and earthquakes are very rare.
Bohol has an abundance of pristine white sand beaches and azure blue waters. Coral reefs teem with a variety of picturesque marine life. Most notable of these dive sites and increasing in world renown are those found in Pamilacan, Balicasag, and Cabilao Islands, becoming a haven for tourists and scuba divers.
Inland, serving as magnets to local and foreign tourists, are sights that are equally remarkable. These are Bohol's natural wonders such as waterfalls, underground caves, bubbly springs and verdant forests.
Some of these sights earned worldwide interest such as: the 1,268 perfectly coned hay cock hills more popularly known as the Chocolate Hills, hunched together with elevations of 40-120 meters high; the Baclayon Church, the best preserved Jesuit-built church in the region; the reclusive Philippine Tarsier, the world's smallest primate endemic only to Bohol and a protected species.
