Quick Tips/ FAQs – Bohol Travel Guide

What is the best time to go to Bohol?

March to May is the summer season in the Philippines, so this is the best time to go if you do not want rainfall. The Chocolate Hills during this time are usually brown. My personal favorite is the months of November to February to avoid too much summer heat.

Optimal Number of Days to Stay

Each guest needs at least 5 to 7 days to fully experience the island. But, most of the tourists can only stay for 3 days, which is just okay, you can experience the basic tourist attractions in 3 days.

Can you Take Public Transportation in Bohol to go to Tourist Destinations?

You may, but it’s not like the public transportation in Manila where a jeepney or bus is readily available. We suggest you rent a motorbike, Car, or Tricycab.

How to get to Bohol?

Via Plane

If you want to go to Bohol the fastest, you have to go there by airplane. There are a lot of airlines that cater flights domestically to Panglao like Philippine Airlines, Air Asia, Cebu Pacific, and Air Swift. Internationally, Jeju Air has been carrying tourists from South Korea to Bohol.
