Bohol 

Cities 

  • Tagbilaran — Capital of Bohol and the main point of entry to the island, including nearby Panglao Island.
  • Anda — A small seaside town on the east coast with a long white sand beach that has nothing to envy Alona. Amazingly friendly and refreshingly relaxed; here you are treated as a person and not just as a client like in Panglao. A few decent resorts dot the beach.
  • Loboc — Rivertown with historic church and idyllic falls. Home of the famous Loboc Children's Choir. Also famous for its River Cruise including serenade and buffet lunch.
  • Carmen — Launching point for tours of the Chocolate Hills
  • Corella — The best place in the Philippines to spot a tarsier in the wild.
  • Tubigon— Port town with great connections to Cebu and the Loom Weaving Cooperative is worth a visit.
  • Baclayon — Port with tours to Pamilacan Island and the town where the old Baclayon Church (established in 1727) is located. Elegant heritage houses line the main road.
  • Bilar — Gateway to Bilar & Rajah Sikatuna National Park.
  • Dauis — Historic Church with lovely seaside setting, pilgrimage site, and venue for heritage-themed dinners, exhibits, tours, cafe, craft shop featuring local jewelry
  • Dimiao — Village on southern side of Bohol with sunrise and sunset views, tide pool, waterfall hike, romantic outlooks from karst rocks, river trekking, snorkelling

By plane 

Philippine Airlines (PAL), Cebu Pacific, and Air Aisa all service the Tagbilaran Airport. Currently all flights are during the day, however there are plans to upgrade the Tagbilaran airport to accommodate night flights. The Tagbilaran airport has had recent renovations. The tarmac accomodates 2 planes at time. PAL typically uses an Airbus 319 for service to Bohol.

By boat 
The Tagbilaran City Tourist Pier handles more than 4,000 travellers on a daily basis. Nine daily ship visits from Cebu are processed efficiently, with other ships from ManilaCagayan de Oro CityDumagueteDipologIligan CityLarenaPlaridel and Ozamiz City also welcomed on a regular basis. Another four port terminals cater specifically to Cebu and northern Mindanao routes. Additional berthing space for fast-craft ferries is currently under construction.

One way from Cebu is ₱500 by ocean jet and ₱800 for the round trip. (April 2014) / Bohol fast ferries schedule

Another easy entry point to Bohol is Tubigon. The port city in the North East has over 20 daily ferry connections to Cebu and the ride only takes about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Also, it is the cheaper option than taking the ferry directly to Tagbilaran - a ride costs about half the price (200-250 pesos). Tubigon is well connected to all the major tourist attractions on Bohol. Tagbilaran, Panglao and the Chocolate Hills can easily be reached by bus or V-hire from here.
