very shy Tarsier

From Cebu, the most cheapest way to go to Bohol is through Tubigon. In pier 3 you can take the 2hour ferry ride (Jadestar ) for P150. They have trip going to Tubigon every hour starting 6am till 5pm. We have arranged for a van to pick us up in Tubigon pier and head for country side tour. We paid for P1500 excluding gas (spent another 1500 for gas for the whole day trip). The trip includes Sagbayan Peak, Man-made forest, Chocolate Hills, Baclayon Church, Loboc River (where you can have lunch while in river cruise), Blood Compact Site, Hinagdanan Cave & Tarsier sanctuary. Then we went to Tagbilaran City in which we found cheap but decent lodge where we stay for 2 nights. The place is called Travellodge, they have room for single/300 or 600 for double occupancy with A/C, there were 6 of us and they allowed us to stay in double occupancy room and we just asked for 2 extra bed and paid 1000/night which is just ok since there were 6 of us. The room has its own private toilet & tv.

Dolphin watching & Island hopping
Virgin Island - Bohol

Virgin Island

The next day as early as 5:30am, the driver pick us up from Travellodge to Panglao beach where we ride a boat that will take us Dolphin watching. It takes us a while before we can see some dolphins but its worth the wait that's why the driver - Rod insist that we need to be early, Rod is my contact person for this trip. After we got tired of watching/following the dolphin around, we headed to Balicasag island in which a good site for snorkling since there are lots of fish even just few meters away from the shore. Also, we had a lunch in the island. You can bring your own food or you can buy seafoods from the locals there and have it cooked for you for a fee of P50. After lunch we hop to another island called Virgin Island, very nice view & crystal clear water ( you can see from the picture). I made a good deal with Rod for this trip and paid 2000/6persons (1500 for dolphin watching & island hopping then 500 for picking us in travellodge going to panglao beach)
