Best Time to Visit Bohol, Philippines

When to go to Bohol

Bohol is a 2-3 day trip from Cebu or a base of its own. The dry season (November to May) is when Panglao Island is at its best: calm seas for snorkeling Balicasag, dry roads to the Chocolate Hills, and tarsiers actually visible at the sanctuary. Avoid July to September.

Tips for Bohol

Loboc River cruises are tourist-tier but the sunset slot is genuinely beautiful.
Tarsier Sanctuary in Corella is the ethical option. The Loboc one feeds tourist demand.
Anda peninsula on the east coast is undeveloped and quieter. Worth the drive.
