Hi!

I’m from Bohol and I have to say you captured almost everything about our island (including the not-so-good ones, which I also have to agree with). I’m glad you liked the place! :)

Hi Steven, normally typhoons enter the northern half of the Philippines until around November, so December should be pretty okay time to go to Bohol. However with climate change, of course no one can guarantee the weather. Panglao faces the open sea so make sure that you have your proper life vests or have somebody assist you with snorkeling.

Hi Ryan,

We intent to visit Bohol from 12-17 December.
What is the weather like in December over there?
We going to view Chocolate Hills.
I understand that March to May is the best time to visit Bohol but we can’t go this period.
I also like to visit Panglao island. Is December the best time for snorkeling?
Please advice.

Thanks.
Steven

Hi Wayne,

You can check this place out.

As for camping around the Chocolate Hills, I’m sure you could find a spot to put your tent, but I don’t know if you’ll annoy some local official by doing that.

Hi Michael,

Ferry from Cebu to Bohol is about 1 hour and 40 minutes. I’ve taken that route in the past so no worries there. Basically if you really don’t need to go to Cebu – you can fly direct from Manila to Tagbilaran. But you can also do the Manila-Cebu -Bohol-Manila. It’s a pretty common route. Some actually do this route – Manila-Cebu-Bohol-Camiguin-Cagayan de Oro-Manila route. Cebu-Bohol-Camiguin-Cagayan de Oro routes are covered by ferries (although the Jagna (Bohol)- Mambajao/Benoni (Camiguin) is a little bit unreliable unfortunately). But yeah, actually if you are just backpacking – that’s actually a good swing from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao!

Cheers!

Ryan

R.W – Thanks for the extra information : ))
Just wondering – how are the prices of the resorts at Dauis, Anda & Doljo compare to the ones at Alona and Dumaluan.
