There are over 1,300 to 1,700 hills that paint the view scape of the province. During the rainy season, the hills are painted green and on dry seasons, they’re brown -- this is where it gets its name, the “Chocolate Hills.”

You can view and play with them at the Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary. For a minimal fee, you can see observe these comic-looking animals in their natural habitat.

Cruising through one of the cleanest rivers in the Philippines while chowing down on some of the best Filipino dishes is an experience you won’t forget. At Bohol, you can have your cake and eat it too, as they say. The Loboc River Floating Restaurants is one of the most popular Bohol tourist spots because it brings two of the best things in the province together -- nature and good food. The Loboc Youth Ambassador Band also sets the mood as they serenade you throughout the cruise.
