Overview
Away from the drawcard attractions, Bohol presents a picturesque pastiche of rural Pinoy life, replete with nipa shacks, water buffalo, spectacular rice terraces, and of course coconut palm-fringed beaches and super friendly Boholanos!
We mostly cycle on quiet, paved roads (with the odd pothole), although there are a few short stretches on busier main roads and bumpy tracks.
The 7000+ islands of the Philippines mean that the country has endless micro-climates. Although Bohol has a vague “dry season” during the summer, this is also the hottest and least comfortable time to ride. In reality Bohol receives rainfall around the year, but November to February is the best time to cycle as temperatures tend to be a little cooler. This said, to see the Chocolate Hills burnished brown, a summer visit is recommended!
Highlights
Visit the strange nocturnal tarsiers at the Tarsier Visitor Center.
Cycle through the otherworldly Chocolate Hills as you take in these strange limestone formations.
Spend some time on the sparkling white sand beaches and clear waters of Anda.
Stop at some of the island’s oldest Spanish churches before arriving at the paradise of Panglao.
Day to Day
Today people will be arriving throughout the day. We'll meet in the evening to get to know one another over dinner, and have an introductory briefing to the tour.
This morning we’ll fit the bikes and then begin our journey through the varied landscapes of tropical Bohol. Today’s route takes us from Tagbilaran inland to Corella, home to the Tarsier Visitors Center, where we’ll get a chance to see these weird and wonderful endangered cuddly critters in their native habitat.
From Corella we’ll bear west back to the coast and then north to Calape and our lovely oceanside overnight stop at Pangangan.
Today we head east into the interior, and Bohol’s most famous sight, the Chocolate Hills. We’ll ride through the heart of these otherworldly limestone hills, staying nearby at a resort with a pool.
Today’s ride is a beautiful descent from the central highlands down past some of the island’s most impressive rice terraces on our way to the gorgeous white sand beaches at Anda.
We head west from Anda, following the coastal road all the way to Badiang, where cold spring water is ready to revive you.
Today a short uphill ride brings us to Loboc, which sits on Bohol’s longest river, and is also locally famous for its musical history. In the afternoon we’ll take a boat trip along the milky green river, flanked by towering palms and mountains beyond.
Our final day’s ride takes us via some of the island’s oldest Spanish churches to idyllic Panglao Island, fringed by dazzling white sand beaches, turquoise sea and coral reef.
Today the tour ends after breakfast. Panglao is just a thirty minute drive from Tagbilaran, from where there are flights to Manila, and boats to Cebu. If you want to stay a little longer on Panglao, beach extensions at our tour hotel can be arranged.
