Bohol Bee farm Resto

Bohol Bee Far

You have to exert extra efforts to visit the place but it’s worth the trip. Getting there, we took the habal-habal. After passing through a stony and dusty path, we were able to reach BBF, which was good since hunger is setting in. My friend and I ordered Grilled Tanigue and Grilled Squid with brown rice and organic salad (consisting of cultured lettuce and flowers which I think was gumamela) plus our own choice of fruit shake. Likewise added to our meal was ‘sinigang na hipon’… Yummy!! We were surprised to be served with complimentary ‘camote’ bread with three different spreads — mango, honey and pesto. All of which tasted exceptional, we couldn’t help but buy those loaves and spreads on our way back to the hostel. After eating, you would want to check out the seaview or take pictures from their massage area or scan their gift shop for pasalubong.

Smiles At them

Boholanos are generally friendly people, don’t be surprised if they smile at you. Smile back and win their hospitality.

Children are naturally curious about camera-toting strangers. Ask them to pose for you and let them see their pictures. You will win their parent’s warm hospitality.

Children can be curious about your food. Share something with them. I gave the hotdogs from my hotel’s packed breakfast to our cook’s kid and her eyes glistened. Of course, her mother warmed up and gave me discount in her cooking charge.

At Balicasag Island, the fisherman’s wife can cook lunch for you. Don’t expect 5-star service in the island. But you can expect 5-star customer relations if you’re not bossy, but kind to her.
Souvenir peddlers at the island are open to haggling for discounts. If you’re nice to them, you might yet receive a free give-away. 2 vendors gave me friendship bands, and they personally put them on my ankle.

Lintuan, Beach Resort

Lintuan Beach, in Barangay Lintuan, is among the vivid attractions of Loon in Bohol. Located a few towns north of Tagbilaran City, the capital of Bohol, Lintuan Beach is an accessible tourist destination.

A mere 30 to 40 minute drive from Tagbilaran—or 25 kilometers—is the historic town of Loon. Among its pride is its coastal beauty where Lintuan Beach lies. On the way we pass by Taloto and Tiptip, then Cortes and Lincod. Just before we get to Loon we pass by Dipationg. These are all coastal areas allowing salient views of the Bohol and Visayan Sea and far-off Cebu.

Lintuan Beach is immaculate with its white sand and emerald pristine waters that bare a portion of the deep even at shallow waters. We can enjoy a great deal of white sand here with Lintuan Beach’s long stretch of coastal line. The gentle waters at the shore are safe for children and the abundance of shells is sure to be a delightful treasure to them.

There are numerous fast ferries going to Tagbilaran from Cebu. But the most convenient to take from Cebu are those going to Tubigon directly across taking some 3 hours travel. Then we can go south to Lintuan Beach in Loon. Aside from the beach, Loon prides itself with its centuries-old church with 154 stone steps leading to Napo, an erstwhile town seat. Spaniards forced native slaves to build the church.

Loon being a third class municipality, Lintuan Beach remains rarely discovered among outsiders—which partly explains the unspoiled nature of the place. The deep sea life remains flawless with plenty of corals and fish types visible even at shallow points. A few distance off Lintuan Beach, out there in the high seas, are hammerhead sharks. Dive facilities in nearby towns are available. Far off is a lighthouse and cottage resorts.
