Here’s the continuation of
the city tourist attractions we went to at Bohol:
Loboc
River Tour and Lunch – Buffet Lunch with tour: Php450. Loboc River Cruise includes lunch. Ric-ric, our driver, went inside the office
to get our tickets. After 10 minutes
wait, he gave us our tickets for the cruise and lunch. We were so lucky because we didn’t have to
wait in line (since there’s a long line for waiting tourists). The lunch was just okay, nothing
extra-ordinary. What really is amazing
was our seat in front of the boat where we get the view of Loboc River. In the middle of the cruise, some locals
entertained us by dancing and singing in a platform by the river.
Tarsier
Conservatory – Entrance Fee: Php60.
Tarsiers are cute creatures. Tiny
nocturnal mammals with big round eyes captured our little boy’s heart. Since tarsiers are known to be suicidal when disturbed,
only few tarsiers were sent out for tourists to see. Neo had so much fun looking for them. J
Habitat
Bohol – Entrance Fee: Php45.
Habitat Bohol is a conservatory for butterflies. Here I learned that there are 3 genders of
butterflies: male, female, and beki-fly (half-male, half-female). Only few butterflies can be seen in this
place. If you want to see more
butterflies, I suggest you go to Paradizoo at Tagaytay.
Chocolate
Hills – Entrance Fee: Php50.
Hundreds of hills form the famous Chocolate hills of Bohol. Once you’re up in the viewing deck, you will
really marvel and be in awe of God’s perfect creation. You can try the ATV that will bring you the foot of the hills, we didn't though because Neo won't be able to try it, and waiting for us might not be his idea of fun.
The
Shiphaus – No entrance fee.
This is a house that was designed to look like a ship because the owner
is a ship captain. We just took a
picture of this “attraction”, because I don’t consider it as one since here in
Cavite you can see houses, schools, and even water refilling stations designed
as a ship. Nothing extraordinary.
Bilar
Manmade Forest – No entrance fee since this is a
highway. The attraction here is to take
your picture while trying to avoid the incoming vehicles from a blind
curve. Really a buwis-buhay experience.

Bamboo
Hanging Bridge – Entrance fee: Php20. This
is a bridge made of bamboo. It sways
every time someone moves/walks. Papa and
Neo weren’t really so pleased or scared since it was just a bridge. I think it’s a nice experience because you don’t
get to cross a bamboo bridge a lot of times in your life (only metal bridges
hehe).
We toured all this Bohol
attractions in 10 hours, 8AM to 6PM. Kuya
Tatsky’s vehicle-for-hire in Bohol is really efficient. Aside from saving a lot of time, there is no need
to hire for tour guide because your driver is your tour guide (except for tour
guides inside the attractions which you will have to tip) who will help you
acquire tickets, take your photos, and even suggests where to buy affordable
pasalubongs J
