Thanks sis! You just gave me an idea of what else to do in Bohol aside from the usual beach and countryside tour. How much did they quote you for their summer promo? 

Its 1600 per head including roundtrip transpo, kayak rental, gear, personal guide, and home-cooked dinner. It was originally 1950 afaik. Its an unforgettable experience, one for the books.

Don't forget to wear swimming attire, including boardshorts and maybe a rash guard. Or bring a spare tee, in case of wet accidents.

Possible ba na selected tours lang ang i-avail with kuya tatsky? We'll be travelling with our almost 5month old son kasi so 1 day tour lang chocolate hills, bee farm and loboc river lang para di sya masyado mapagod. Pwede din yung man made forest if madadaanan.

Still not decided if south palm or amorita, alin kayamas okay if with baby?

[beach_n_sunsets]

^Yes, sis, possible naman. Bale van rental lang naman ang kay Tatsky and tour guide tapos lahat ng entrance fees sagot na ng guests. Well, ganon ang arrangement namin dati. Madadaanan din ang man-made forest papuntang chocolate hills Literal na dadaanan lang kasi wala namang area for tourists ganyan 

Para hindi ma-stress si baby, I suggest dun sa first batch ng river cruise kayo sumabay (around 11:30am). Maliit lang 'yung boat and 6 tables lang ang capacity niya. Mas relaxed kaysa doon sa next batches na sobrang lalaki na ng boats and OA sa dami ng tao (usually Koreans and maingay sila).

Hi! I will be travelling solo to Bohol on my birthday. It will be a 4D/3N trip. I'm so excited yet nervous because it's my first time to travel alone. Wish me luck!
 

[piggybear]

Hi, worth it ba yung firefly watching tour? Thanks!

[Adam1025]

Ah ganun ba yun sis? So parang flexible naman pala ang itinerary, so if gusto namin magtagal sa isang place gawa ng kasama nga namin si baby tapos nagb-breastfeed pa ako pwede pala? Puro van lang ba sila wala kaya smaller car since kami lang ni hubby and baby? 5 years ago pa last visit ko sa Bohol and I remember nag-rent din kami ng van pero may kasama kami para maka-tipid 😊

[simang]

^sis ang alam ko may sedan sila na pinaparent, which is cheaper. Parang nasa 2k yata or 2500 + gas. Tapos whole day na yun kayo na bahala sa itinerary. Of course you can ask for suggestions from them pero hawak nyo oras nyo. Yung ginawa ko kasi nun is nagrent lang ako ng motor with driver, i didn't avail of the package tour. So yung driver na nagsuggest kung san pupunta. Entrance fees lang naman babayaran mo sa mga spots.

[Adam1025]

^sis exclusive of gas pa yung rate na 2k or 2500? So since di package tour pwede namin sabihin kung saan lang namin gusto pumunta. Possible ba na magkakasama sa isang day ang chocolate hills, loboc river cruise and bee farm? Nag backread kasi ako parang sa ibang area ang bohol bee farm. And sa mismo hotel ba kami susunduin? Sorry sis dami question.. May website ba sila or talagang thru text/call lang?

We are booked in Amorita resort na sana sulit naman maging stay namin dun. Any idea mga sis gaano sya kalayo sa mga tourist spot? Tia!

[simang]

Exclusive pa sis.. Kasi ang alam ko pg package tour, yun yung kasama ang gas. And yes, pwedeng kayo ang gumawa ng itinerary nyo.. Yung sa akin sis (solo lang ako nun), lahat yan napuntahan ko in one day. Yung Bee Farm sis nasa Panglao island sya, which is mga 20-30 mins away lang naman from tagbilaran. Ako sis sundo ako sa airport mismo kasi pagkababa ko nun direcho tour agad ako, tapos hatid sa hotel kung san ako nagstay after ng tour. Pwede mo irequest yun sis walang problema basta buong day sa inyo yung kotse kahit san kayo pumunta pwede hehe.

PM ko sayo sis yung number ni Sir Tatsky. Dati syang tour guide/driver pero ngayon may agency na sya. So malamang hindi sya yung magdrive sa inyo. Si Kuya Eric yung pinadala nya sakin na driver/tour guide before. Highly recommended ko sya super bait

Di ako familiar sa Amorita sis pero sa Panglao ba yun? Ang pinakamalayo lang namna na tourist spot is yung chocolate hills.. around 1.5 hrs sya from tagbilaran airport. Pero on the way there marami na kayong madadaanan na spots, yung mga church, even loboc madadaanan nyo na. Pati yun butterfly sanctuary, etc.

[beach_n_sunsets]

^^ Sis, inclusive na ang gas dun sa rental ng sasakyan niya. Actually, ang usual day tour package naman na sinasabi ng mga agencies AFAIK eh sundo sa airport, diretso tour, van rental with gas, driver/tour guide, and then hatid sa resort.

Ang babayaran ninyo na lang bale aside from the day tour package rate eh entrance fees sa tour sites, lunch buffet sa loboc, at tip sa driver pero hindi ito required. Ito rates ni Tatsky last Feb 2015:

Vios - P2,200
Innova - P2,500
Grandia - P2,700

Walang time limit ang rental, 'yan ang nasa text ni Tatsky LOL. Pwede isabay ang Bohol Bee Farm sa day tour, walang kaso 'yun. Actually 'yun ang last stop sa tour namin bago kami hinatid sa resort.

Mga 6pm na kami nakarating sa BBF tapos hanggang 7:30pm. Sinama pala namin 'yung driver sa dinner.

[Adam1025]

^mga sis thanks sa info, hopefully kasama na nga ang gas sa rate anyway i'll text kuya tatsky now sana meron pa available na car.

excited na ako, first trip with baby sana di sya ma-stress sa mga byahe

[spinnn]

Just got back yesterday from our Bohol and Cebu trip. Kay kuya tatsky din kami kumuha ng tour, si kuya rikrik driver namin. Super happy kami sa trip, maayos kausap kuya tatsky and bait din ng driver. We stayed sa DBR, sarap ng food and ganda ng shoreline nila.

Hello, is this a good itinerary for bohol? Hindi ba hapit na yung Day 4? Thanks

[binggay]

^ Sis angeleigh, when we did Bohol, yung itinerary mo ng Day 2 and 4, nagawa namin in one day. Sinundo kami ng 8 am, nakauwi kami past 6.

[angeleigh]

^thanks sis, hindi naman siya nakakastress na mabilisan? Naenjoy nyo ba per spot?

[binggay]

^Hindi siya mabilisan, I was even with my kids. Na-enjoy naman namin. Enough time per spot.

[angeleigh]

^thanks sis, i will take that into consideration and revise our itinerary.

[mama squeak!]

Just came from another enjoyable but bitin visit in Bohol. Family tried out Hennan Resort along Alona beach in Panglao. Location-wise maganda since bandang dulo na sila ng beach and hindi magulo plus walang masyadong banka na naka-park.

The resort is offering a soft opening promo of 40% off their room rates plus breakfast and dinner buffets. Yun lang tiis ka talaga since on-going ang construction. My parents had to transfer rooms kasi maingay yung first room nila. Pati kami we had to complain at 9PM kasi meron nagdi-drill and pukpok. To the staff's credit naman accommodating sila and mababait. Pero long way to go pa bago matapos yung construction. But if beach lang kayo the whole day, okay lang. Oh, wifi din nila ang bagal minsan wala pa 

We also hired Tatsky's innova to tour my sister and her hubby since hindi available yung regular service namin. Malinis and maayos yung sasakyan. Si Glen yung driver, medyo mabilis lang magmaneho nahilo sister ko on the way to Chocolate Hills    Sinabihan namin medyo hinay lang sa pag-drive pabalik. Overall good experience with them. My Mom might get them next time for her B&B's guests.

Did you book online? I wonder kung pwede walk in kasi hindi nila tinanggap debit card namin. Credit card lang daw.

[mama squeak!]

^Booked online using my credit card. Pwede siguro walk-in but you're not assured lang kung meron silang available rooms when you get there.
