8.00am – In the middle of nowhere, haha, waiting and watching the dolphins… It was fun, they didn’t disappoint us and we saw quite a number of dolphins in action.
9.00am – Arrived in Balicasag Island, known for the snorkelling spot but we didn’t avail of it, but if you are interested they offer snorkelling gears and mini boat ride for extra charges
9.00am to 10.30am – We walked around the island and stumbled on a pleasant looking and I think the only resort on the island – Balicasag Island Dive Resort. Had some of our photos taken in the beautiful island with clean water, and relaxing scenery.
11.00am to 12.30pm – Satisfying lunch on the island
There’s a ‘paluto’ on the island, where you can buy seafoods (fish, squid, shrimps, etc.) and have them cook any style you want – have it fried, with soup, grilled, etc. We bought one big fish, forgot the name, we had it grilled and sinigang; and bought squid and made it calamares.  It was delicious and this is the meal we most enjoyed.

12.30pm to 1.30pm – Visited Virgin island, which has the sand bar, and is definitely a very beautiful spot to simply relax, enjoy the island view and take wonderful shots.
1.30pm to 2.30pm – Travelled back to Panglao on a bit rough and scary boat ride due to big, big waves….

The Tarsiers

Bohol Tarsier

After almost an hour of reminiscing  Bohol’s history, it was time to meet Bohol’s popular attraction, the Tarsiers. Our van suddenly parked on one side street  and our driver told us that we were already in the Bohol Tarsier spot. Being a tourist, I didn’t imagined that this would just be the spot for these Bohol Tarsiers, I was then imagining that we would be meeting these Tarsiers in a somewhat forest like and would need to do some trekking to get to the place.

We went inside, passed through a few stalls that sell Tarsier souvenirs like key chains, purses, mini-dolls, packed peanut kisses and a lot more. There were bunch of trees in one part of the area where we saw these Tarsiers clinging on the branches. They were so small with big eyes and long tail.  They look cute but personally I was a bit scared to go near it… hehe. Taking pictures is okay but without flash and they are not allowed to be touched. Which now I know why, because my friend tried touching one Tarsier’s back and it quickly jumped and I was a bit shocked that I think added to my uneasiness with these Tarsiers. lol.

Quick facts:

Bohol Tarsier measures about 3.35 to 6.30 inches in height and considered as one of the smallest primates. Their big eyes are fixed in its skull; they can’t turn in their sockets but their neck allows its head to be rotated 180 degrees. As for their fur, they are thick and silky which is colored gray to dark brown. They have thin tail which is used for balance and about twice the body length.

The name Tarsier came from its elongated “tarsus” or ankle bone which allows it to jump at least three meters from tree to tree without having to touch the ground.

Best time to Visit

Best time to visit Bohol

The only time to avoid is Easter, this is when most of the Filipinos return from Metro Manila where they work to spend the Easter holiday with their relatives. It gets very busy and all means of transport are fully booked or overcrowded.

The month of May is fiesta month on Bohol, just about every day there is a fiesta at one of the towns across the province so again it can be busy but it is also very colourful.

If you want to combine your trip to Bohol with the amazing spectacle of a Philippine festival the best time to come is ether in July to see the Sandugo festival in Tagbilaran or in January to see the Sinulog festival in Cebu (it’s less than 2 hours by ferry) The Sinulog festival takes place o the third weekend in January every year.

The hottest months are March to June when temperatures can reach 38ºC or higher, the wet season is from July to November.

Typhoons! – don’t be too concerned with typhoons here, most of them strike further north in Luzon. The other advantage with Bohol is that it is sheltered to the east by Samar and Leyte.
