Bohol Itinerary 1 Day: A Quick Day Trip
Only got one day in Bohol? Yeah, it’s a bit of a tease—but you can still pack in some epic experiences. You’ve got two main options:
- A countryside adventure—think chocolate hills, tiny tarsiers, and a lazy river cruise.
- An island-hopping escape—dolphin spotting, snorkeling, and tropical vibes.
Can’t decide? Why not mix it up? Here’s the lowdown on both:
Option 1: Bohol Countryside Tour Itinerary
Day Tour Highlights: Napaling Reef, Loboc River cruise, Philippine tarsier, chocolate hills.
Kick off your day with a splash at Napaling Reef. This spot is famous for the Sardine Run, where you can dive or snorkel and be surrounded by shimmering schools of fish; no boat ride needed! If you’re into underwater adventures, you might want to spend a couple of hours here.

Next stop: Loboc River Cruise. Hop on a floating restaurant for a buffet lunch as you cruise along the peaceful river, complete with local music and lush jungle views.
After lunch, hit the road toward the iconic Chocolate Hills. On the way, roll through the Bilar Man-Made Forest: a tunnel of mahogany trees that’s perfect for a quick photo-op.
Don’t miss the Tarsier Conservation Area, home to the world’s tiniest, wide-eyed primates. These little guys are seriously cute, and you’ll have about an hour to admire them (quietly, they’re shy!).
Wrap up the day at the Chocolate Hills: Bohol’s most romantic landscape. In the dry season, these grassy mounds turn cocoa-brown, looking like giant chocolate kisses scattered across the countryside.
Just don’t forget: you’ll need time to head back to your hotel near Alona Beach.
Option 2: Bohol Island-Hopping Itinerary
Day Tour Highlights: Dolphin watching, snorkeling or diving at Balicasag Island, marine life at Balicasag Wall
If crystal-clear waters and marine life are your thing, Balicasag Island is where you want to be. Start early—like, before sunrise—for your best chance to spot playful dolphins. No guarantees (nature’s got its own schedule), but the thrill is worth the early wake-up call.
Once you reach Balicasag, get ready for the day’s highlight. The island is a snorkeler’s and diver’s paradise. Sea turtles, colorful tropical fish, and vibrant coral gardens are all waiting for you. Whether you prefer snorkeling, scuba diving, or even freediving, there are plenty of prime spots to explore around the island.
Pro tip: Take your time. Balicasag’s underwater world is too magical to rush.
Bohol Itinerary 2 Days:
Got two days in Bohol? Lucky you—no need to stress over whether to explore the countryside or dive into island-hopping. Do both and get the best of Bohol in a perfect 2-day adventure.
Not your style? No worries—you could spend two days soaking up the countryside (ideal if you’re not a fan of water activities) or two full days island-hopping (perfect for ocean lovers). Whatever your vibe, Asia Odyssey Travel can customize your trip to fit your dreams.
