How much day trip sa bbc?

[rics]

^there was a post about that here. back read ka nalang sis.
php800 yata consumable yung 500 but i can be wrong.

[honeybunny]

^^when we went there last May, 650 sya. 450 yata or 500 yung consumable.

[giantjacqui]

Last week of July kami nag day tour sa Bohol Beach Club,, it costs P650 per head consumable ang P400 for food its up to you kung sa lunch, meryenda or combination mo sya gagamitin basta you have to pay din the excess. Wala silang ads for daytour sa site nila, kaya need to inquire first, then we inquire and ocular sa Dumaluan beach, ang crowded, madaming tao, tingin ko lahat ng tourists nandoon, ok pa ang crowd ng Alona pero ang masasabi ko sa Alona, madumi ang shore pero ang daming kainan at resto,, mamili ka..  ang rent ng tric from tagbilaran to panglao pick and drop lang is P350-400 pero pag car is P500, just to share, we rent a tric for our panglao tour kasi pwede naman talaga, ang rent namin is P700 dahil sa haggling skills din namin hehe,,, but sa Country side tour I highly suggest to rent a car or van kasi malayo talaga especially the Chocolate Hills at maalikabok sa daan, For those solo or couple lang na gusto mag island hopping at dolphine watching pero hindi afford mag rent ng isang boat dahil mahal proceed to Alona beach, may mga boatman doon, may per head sila dun cost P400-450/head pero isasama ka nila sa ibang tourists. Kung gusto nyo mag floating resto, I adviced to get the first trip para fresh ang food, kasi yung mga susunod is hindi na maayos kasi parang tira na lang.

^there is a public beach kasi sa Dumaluan, the one beside Dumaluan resort where there are cottages for rent.

We stayed at South Palms and we saw that ang dami talagang tao specially during the one Saturday that we were there. Pero people stay on that part of the beach. They do not cross over to the beach of BBC or South Palms kahit na pwede naman kasi public property naman ang beach.

[mama squeak!]

^sis it's Dumaluan

[dyosabel]

Hi mga sis, sa Dumaluan kami nag-stay last long weekend. True na crowded sya, lalo na pag weekends. Yung DBR1 kasi ay for daytours. Pero nung tapos na ang long weekend, wala na masyadong tao sa beach. Masarap na mag-emote. hehe
 Infairness, maganda ang stretch ng shoreline bandang dumaluan, lumelevel sa Boracay. Nakapaglakad din kami bandang BBC at South Palms, next time dun nalang kami mag-stay, di kasi namin nagustuhan ang rooms ng DBR2. Also, walang makainan dun, wala kaming choice kundi kumain sa resto nila, dahil mga tamad kami. hehe. Tapos naturn-off pa ko sa service nung isang employee sa resto, kinamutan ako ng ulo nung ice cream lang ang bibilhin ko. Di nya ata nakita na dun kami kumain pati dinner. Pero siguro, sobrang daming tao din kasi nun. Na-offend lang ako ng konti sa ginawa nya, in my face kasi. hehehhe

Just came back from a short vacation in BBC. Superb ang beach from South Palms to Dumaluan,kahit sa BBC kami nakacheck-in pumupunta kami sa South Palms area at walang sumisita sa amin hehe. We were there weekdays kaya konti lang tao. Hindi masyadong pino ang sand pero pwede na. Better than Boracay less crowd.

Super turn off ako nong pumunta kami sa Alona. Wala swimming area ata doon, puro kainan at mga nag-aalok ng tours. Buti na lang hindi kami sa Hennan nagbook. My son enjoy the beach more than the pool kasi. Kung nagkataon sa Alona kami baka hindi siya nag-enjoy. For families bringing kids, I suggest buying aqua shoes. Sulit na sulit yong aqua shoes ng anak ko kasi medyo madami corals sa beach area. Hindi kasing pino ng boracay yong sand pero ang ganda talaga. At may snorkeling area pala ang BBC beach area, not sure with south palms pero sa tapat ng BBC meron.

[giantjacqui]

Sis mommycute46 Mayroon naman din swimming area sa Alona, although marami ring mga naka stay na boat, pero pwede na rin magswim at mag chill,   do you turn left or turn right from Aquatica resort, from Hennan Resort heading to sea area then you will reach Aquatica resort,  I turn right too, akala ko rin noong una wala ring shore at swimming area at puro boat lang, pero sa left side pala meron shore although hindi kasing ganda ng shoreline ng BBC at Southpalms. May mga kainan at mostly mga nag aalok ng body massage. 

[ehlabart]

Mga sis,  baka naman may pupunta dito same with me sa september 22-24 I will be travelling alone,  pwede ba makisama sa group tours niyo? Hindi pa kasi ako makadecide kung diy like magrent ako ng motor, kung ako lang ba magisa hindi ba delikado magwander sa bohol lalo na liblib yung lugar? or magavail ako ng package tour na all in na..  Any tips? Yung makakamura sana..
This will be my second  time sa bohol pero ako lang magisa ulit this time at hindi ako nakapagisland tour dati..  .
Magkaiba ba yung panglao island tour vs island hopping with dolphins?

[jayce_mom]

^ sept. 25 pa kami nasa bohol sis pero manggagaling kami ng cebu

question mga sis, okay lang ba na skip loboc river cruise?

Thank you.

[mama squeak!]

Might bump into you gals. I'll be there on the 24th to take care of a family business.

@jayce_mom, depends really on what you want to see or do. When you get any of the tours you can personalize the itinerary according to your preference. Depende also on the tour you will be getting ha kasi there is the countryside tour where mainland Bohol yung route. Then there is the Panglao tour kung saan naman yung mga attractions sa Panglao island lang ang pwede puntahan.

Loboc river cruise is part of the countryside tour. So kung di nyo feel puntahan you can always skip it naman. Enjoy your trip!

[ehlabart]

Mga sis eto,  i need advice.. Decided na ako to rent scooter, self drive. Booked na ako hotel reggae sa panglao,  pero i am planning to visit chocolate hills at loboc zip line then tarsier tas bohol bee farm yun lang.  Then second day whole day island hopping..

Alin ba mas malapit sa carmen?  Coming from Tagbilaran or Panglao?

Torn kasi ako, at nanghihinayang ako sa tours kasi magisa lang ako at wala si hubby. any tips po tia

[mama squeak!]

^For safety reasons I would advise you not to rent a scooter going to Carmen where Chocolate Hills is. It is an hour's drive by car from Tagbilaran or a little over an hour from Panglao. Hindi masyado conscious sa safety mga drivers dun at sobrang bilis magpatakbo ng sasakyan. Baka ma side swipe ka sa scooter mo.
Kung short distances lang ang byahe mo okay lang siguro yung scooter. Of course, the decision will still be yours to make pa rin.

[ehlabart]

Thank you @mamas_squeak siguro nga.. Bahala na mamaya.  Eto ang travel ko na bahala na hahaha

Paboard na ako,  siguro magcheck in ako along alona beach tapos from there makikisama nalang ako sa mga tourist na iba for boat kasi gusto ko magdive sa balicasag.

[MrsTeapot]

Personal opinion lang to or baka some sis shares the same opinion. Nung pumunta ako sa Balicasag snorkeling site, maalon and maraming patay na na corals. Meron kasi ako nabasa na comparable daw sa Coron and El Nido kaya tumaas expectation ko. I'm not sure kung aside from snorkeling ay may other dive sites sa Balicasag. However may interesting island or sand bar na pinuntahan kami after sa Balicasag and may nag tinda ng fresh sea urchin.

Btw, para sa mag t try ng sea urchin wag niyo i derecho sa lips niyo yung shell, it can still sting you. I-scoop niyo nalang yung laman hehe

Tried Loboc River Cruise at night. Very nice!

Ok sa Alona Beach. May restos, souvenir shops and other entertainments pero tahimik parin. Tho some small hotels masyadong malapit sa mga bars, maririnig mo yung sounds hanggang madaling araw.

[honeybunny]

i decided to come back here na lang (instead of dumaguete) and stay at BBC this time. sa dumaguete sana kaso wala masyado ok puntahan bukod sa whale shark since whale shark talaga main target namin. sumilon island naman pangit reviews na nakita ko and i bet may  mga mas ok pa na island  na may maayos na beach/sandbar somewhere else

saan ba makakasakay ng boat from panglao to oslob? and how much usual rate?

[honeybunny]

we are planning to rent a boat from alona-oslob-alona. and mas mura if marami sana kaso 2 lang kame.. anyone planning to come here late november, has almost the same itinerary, and cool with joining with other people? let me know.

[robinemz]

sisses yung mga kids ba pag 10yrs old or below same rate/head sa mga entrance fees sa countryside tour? even sa loboc river cruise w/ lunch?

[Maxim04]

Hi mga sis! Baka may marecommend kayo na tours na bohol based na mismo.. we are booked 18-20 October, accommodation pa lang. i saw online sites like bohol best tours, bohol countryside tour, bohol package tour (kasi special trip ata siya and they charge per pax). i have been to bohol year 2008 and i cant remember i spent thousand/head/tour. or siguro sobrang tagal na noon? tee hee!. please help! thanks so much!
