Hi! Ayaw mo mag tingin ng mga promo fares online?

Try to contact Incredible Bohol through their FB page for your countryside tour. They are very accommodating and their drivers are helpful and pleasant to talk to. And mas mababa yata sila compared to other tour providers (depende din siempre sa I-aavail niyong tour).

For accommodation naman, try to check South Palms or Bohol Beach Club if you want a relaxing and not crowded beach resort. These two are situated in Dumaluan Beach. If Alona Beach naman ang gusto niyo, where there are plenty of affordable water activites (banana boat, glass bottom boat, para sailing etc.), parang Hennan naman talaga ang maganda.

[ficklemind]

back from Bohol-Cebu!

ganda sa South Palms! waa gusto na namin bumalik, yung service talaga nila ang the best. From picking us up sa Airpot till paghatid at pagheckin samin sa Tagbilaran Port, wala ako masabi, ganda ng service!!
abang abang na ako ng  promos for South Palms para makabalik 

Yung room namin sobrang lapit na sa BBC but hinde namin tinry magcross over pero feeling ko pwede naman hinde mahigpit yung guards dun sa beach.

medyo hinde lang maganda ang beach due to the weather/season na din siguro. Hinde nga kami naligo eh. kahit sa Alona ganun din.

 kung babalik kami summer season na siguro para mas maganda ang beach.

ibang iba na ang Bohol compared in  2009 nung first visit namin.

[Girltalker2]

Do they hve travel agencies to contact for organised snorkeling trips?

Kasi if 2-4 Lang kami, alangan we rent a whole boat? Mas gusto ko sana to join a group snorkeling tour with a tour guide?
Kasi sa Bali, Phuket is Krabi or other resorts sa Maldives Meron nito. Sa el Nido din. Sa bohol kaya Meron na?
Tagal ko na Kasi nagpunta, 15 yrs na siguro. Wanna go back.

In terms of falls naman, which falls Ma recommend nyo na puede mag cliff jumping?

===

I checked resort rates for December. Parang super mahal dahil peak?
Is hennan reasonable for 14k/night/rm?
Be grand naman -almost 10k/night/rm.
for 2 pax Lang iyan.

[keejac21]

^sis, mag inquire ka kay Incredible Bohol. Pero tingin ko mas madami options if maginquire directly sa mga nag ooffer sa Alona Beach. And parang medaling mag bargain dun for water activities.

For me yung Hennan, maganda yung pool and hotel facilities nila. But shared beach din naman sila in Alona. Mas naappreciate ko yung beach sa Dumaluan kasi hindi crowded (we stayed at South Palms).

Nakwento ng tour guide namin na sa beach daw ng Be Grand napupunta yung dumi from Dumaluan and Alona.

[Girltalker2]

^ thanks sis

Fully booked na Kasi south palms

Gulat talaga ako gaano kalaki magtaga now mga prices there. Tsaka as much as possible ayaw ko mag haggle Kaya Mas prefer ko sana if may travel agencies we published rates for groups.   

Parang lahat sariling kontrata kaya mahal
I contacted incredible bohol
2100 car plus LaHAT ng entrance per person plus lunch sa Loboc per person need namin bayaran.

I find this unreasonable kasi una una tanghali na kami dadating. Secondly I specified ayoko magloboc. I honestly find it a rip off. I?ve been there and nothing worth going to. Food sucks. I don?t like noise and most especially Sabi before May falls daw and susme parang agos lang ng tubig yun.

I thought since kontrata, individualised, so puede pilin Lang which places we wanna go. So I Specified ang gusto namin puntahan, choc hills, tarsier, church. Bakit need LaHAt ng entrance fees need to pay? And lunch daw 550 each sa Loboc. Eh Sinabi ko nanga ayaw ko dun. Their meals if you ask me cost less than 100 lang siguro. So ordinary.

[o9kristin]

^sis if you won?t go to Loboc, hindi ka na sisingilin ng bayad sa river cruise. Pati mga entrances sa mga ayaw mo na puntahan
 KKB kasi yun. Ikaw mismo magbabayad or you pay your tour guide upon entrance. Kaya nga hindi nila sinasama sa rate kasi may mga clients na hindi naman pinupuntahan lahat. Basta yung 2100 per car for 4 pax is fixed.. nag inquire din ako the other day..

[Girltalker2]

^ which agency is this?
Kasi Yung kausap ko is 2100 + all entrance 320/head + 550/head lunch

Sabi ko para San entrance Yung 320
Sabi lahat.
Sabi ko selected places lang gusto ko puntahan. Sabi nya kasi distance based daw so lahat ng entrance.

It doesn?t make sense to me.

[o9kristin]

Incredible Bohol din sis. Ang sabi nila sakin 2100 for the car. Lunch and entrances are ours.

[keejac21]

^^Sa amin yung singil nila is nasa 2300 kasi sa Panglao kami nagpa-pickup. Tapos sagot namin lahat ng entrance fees dun lang sa gusto namin puntahan. Sinabi din namin na hindi kami mag Loboc cruise.

Ang medyo nagulat lang ako dun sa Chocolate Hills. Akala ko kasi dun kami dadalhin sa parang viewing area/conservatory na may steps. Ang bago na pala ngayon ay yung mag ATV kayo papunta sa hillsides. Rental nun is 900 pesos, and yung buggy naman is 1800. Di kami prepared ni hubby hahaha. Pero enjoy naman yun kahit papano though feeling namin nagkasubuan na.

[Girltalker2]

^ sis Yung atv 1 person lang? So 900/person.
If buggy, how many persons Yung 1800?
And I assume syempre separate payment sya, correct?

Alala ko sa choc hill visit ko many years ago is we walked. Not atv. Bakit kayo napunta doon?

[Girltalker2]

^ sis Yung atv 1 person lang? So 900/person.

Alala ko sa choc hill visit ko many years ago is we walked. Not atv. Bakit kayo napunta doon?

[keejac21]

^Sis, yun nga din ang expectation ko.. yung maglalakad lang and may hagdan sa gilid na makikita yung chocolate hills. Di naman na ako nagbasa ng travel blogs sa Bohol kasi naisip ko nakapunta na ko twice doon.

Anyway, yun na daw yung bago ngayon. Sa ATV na 900 pesos, 1 person lang daw pwede. Pero may nakita akong Korean na angkas niya yung anak niyang maliit. Di ko alam paano yun napayagan. Sa buggy na 1800 pesos naman, 2 persons lang kasya.

First stop namin yung chocolate hills sis, dun agad kami dinerecho. Di na kami nakapag backout. Enjoy naman yung anak ko. Yun lang mas mahal pa yun kesa sa bayad namin sa Incredible Bohol. 
 

[Girltalker2]

Incredible Bohol din sis. Ang sabi nila sakin 2100 for the car. Lunch and entrances are ours.

Through messenger kami nag uusap kasi kaya magulo. I quoted your statement Sakto na lunch n entrance kami na pay as needed.
Um-oo naman yung ka text ko.
So fixed nya YuNG 2100 Lang talaga.

Though Maraming hidden fees so need ispecify sa guide talaga na Ayaw namin ng loboc kahit kain Ayaw namin. Then if we don?t want buggy/atv need din especify. Pero mukhang fun yung atv

[o9kristin]

Sa mga recently lang nagpunta ng Panglao, how much taxi from airport to Alona? Around 600 - 700 pa rin ba or higher na? Nagkalat lang ba mga taxi dun or better kumuha ng service na lang in advance?

[bluish_mommy]

anyone here who availed LN Travel and Tours?

[o9kristin]

Sharing our trip Oct 7-10.
So we took the afternoon flight ng CebPac. Didn?t arrange for airport transfer pero marami nagaalok sa labas. We were able to get a car for 500 lang to our resort in Alona. We stayed nga pala sa Scent of Green Papaya. The hotel is ok, great ambiance pero ang layo sa beach. Technically, sa likod lang ng Hennan but walang shortcut to the beach. On our first day, pumunta lang kami sa Alona the afternoon til night.

2nd day, we went to Dumaluan. Tryk from our hotel to DBR is 150. Naglatag lang kami sa sand under a tree. Good thing wala masyadong tao when we went there kaya na-enjoy namin ang beach tapos peaceful pa.  We ate sa DBR grill. Surprisingly, mura at masarap ang food!

3rd day, we had our countryside tour c/o Tatsky. Si Kathy yung ka-chat ko the night before and Im glad na that they were still able to accommodate us. I messaged them around 9pm na yata. Were still contemplating din kasi nung una if we?ll have a tour since weve been there before but for the sake of photo op with our son we decided to go na rin. Unfortunately, wala nang available sedan car sila Kathy so van ang na-assign samin. Ok naman yung driver but maalog talaga since 3 lang kaming sakay. We started 8pm and by 3pm tapos na kami. We went to bohol bee farm, hinagdanan cave, chocolate hills, tarsier conservatory and butterfly something. We skipped loboc river cruise na since nothing special naman. We ate at an eatery near chocolate hills na lang. Sobrang lakas ng ulan nung pabalik na kami ng hotel so hindi kami nakapagpa-picture sa Bilar man-made forest. I look forward to it pa naman kaso zero visibility talaga. We paid 2,300 + tip. 2,300 yung tour since ang pick-up and drop off namin is sa Alona.

Btw, if you?re planning to go to Hinagdanan Cave, ok kumuha ng guide para may magpicture sa inyo. Libre naman sya, bigay lang kayo ng konting tip if nasayahan kayo sa guide. Ang ganda ng kuha ng guide namin. Alam na alam na nila san maganda magpicture and kung anong setting ng DSLR ang kailangan.

4th and last day, check out lang and headed to the airport.

All in all, nag-enjoy naman son ko sa beach. For me mas maganda talaga beach sa Dumaluan compared to Alona.
