Operating Hours: 

Sunday – Thursday:  10:00am-10:00pm

Going there is a struggle. Some taxi drivers aren't even familiar with the place. It took us one hour to finally get there and we paid 250.00 php. Imagine that far. On your way home you have ride a pedicab to the taxi stand but if you have your own means of transport that'd be great!

We went there at 4:00 pm and arrived at 5:00 pm. At last we've finally arrived to the place! whew! *sigh!

Immediately after our arrival waiters asked us for if we had reservations and we said no good thing there was still one left table for us three so we were very lucky at that time.

We took some pictures after we ordered.

Evening scenery at the floating restaurant. It sure is far but it was a nice experience for us. Take note to book a reservation in advance because mind you they have a lot of customers during noon and at dinner time.

#Incredibohol#

September 7, 2013


It was never too late to spend my summer. I've been wanting to go to Bohol and tried several attempts. I even bought tickets but wasn't able to use it due to an unexpected happenings but this time it's going to be real. By the way, tickets from cebu-bohol-cebu is only for 640.00 php (two way ticket promo from ocean jet). 

(Kuya Jojo told us this one's their latest)

A day before the trip, kuya tatsky messaged me that our driver will be Kuya Jojo~one of his tour guide drivers. You may reach him at 0917-633-9502. He waited for us at the welcome center with my whole name printed on a paper :) I was also a little surprised knowing that car we'll be using is from the owner itself since all his cars were fully booked! cool \m/

Free admission on board for kids below three years old.

Welcome to Bohol! :D

I read this person in a blog and got his info. I thought I should give him a text asking for price of quotation for a whole day tour in Bohol. As soon as I received his reply, I thought it wasn't that expensive compared to others so I reserved in advance from "kuya tatsky". He opted me with three choices for the car service that ranges from 2,000.00 php (good for 2-4 pax), 2,300.00 php (good for 6 pax) and 2,600.00 php good for (15 pax). You can contact him at this sun number: 0922-637-1051 anytime.

Given the 12 spots that starts from 8 am to 5 pm. 2000.00 php is just for the car, entrance fees of 250.00 php and lunch at loboc river for 450.00 php are excluded. Best time to start is between 8:00 am or 9:00 am, If late you can just prioritize. Here are the lists with entrance fees:

1. Blood compact monument

2. Baclayon Church

3. Prony the Python (20.00 but he already died)

4. Loboc river cruise and lunch (450.00)

5. Hanging Bridge (20.00)

6. Tarsier (60.00)

7. Man-made Forest 

8. Butterfly Conversation Area (40.00)

9. Chocolate Hills (50.00)

10. Dauis Church

11. Hinagdanan Cave (25.00)


12. Bee farm

It was odd at first to converse with Kuya Jojo despite his kindness since he was speaking tagalog which I am not really comfortable speaking. hahaha. But when he knew I came from Cebu he started speaking bisaya (cebuano dialect).

We started the tour on time. Kuya Jojo suggested we should start from the farthest on the list. So first on the list is the Chocolate Hills with an entrance fee of 50.00 php each. Kuya Jojo always reminded us every landmark we visited on their entrance fees. It was one hour form the port. Good thing the weather was sunny. :) Along the way to Chocolate hills, Kuya Jojo recommended a lot of adventures to do like riding ATV, superman zipline, etc. but of course we didn't prefer that one since it's out of the list. We have to stick to what is planned.

(Stairways to Chocolate Hills)

After 30 minutes in Chocolate Hills, we opted to the next stop which is in Butterfly Sanctuary with an entrance fee of 40.00 php each. There, we have a tour guide ( I forgot his name). He really knows what he's doing not to mention he's very good at entertaining guests. We took a lot of jump shots with the butterfly's wings. Nice one!

(This is half female half male)

(He was explaining the parts of the butterfly)

(with kuya jojo)

Third on the list is where we can see the smallest nocturnal arboreal primates known as Tarsier with an entrance of fee 60.00 php each. So far this one has the most expensive entrance fee among the other places we've been to. I was a little bit sad because I want to touch one but it's not allowed. huhu. But they're so cute to look at. There are only a few of them. 

On the way to loboc river for lunch, we passed by man-made forest. Of course! picture time! lol

Time check 12:30 pm when we arrived at Loboc River Floating Restaurant. We bought tickets from River watch floating restaurant megaboat of 450.00 including the tax. We finished our tour at the loboc river for about an hour.

 (shuttle going to the cruise)

(It rained but no too long)

It was already 3:00 pm when we finished our lunch so we have to hurry for the 6:00 pm trip to Cebu so we've decided to prioritize Blood Compact and Hinagdanan Cave with an entrance fee of 25.00 php and car park of 15.00 php. We weren't able to take pictures on Baclayon Church since we have already passed it twice. Better luck next time.

Just beside the Blood Compact is the souvenir shop where you can buy cheap products like peanut kisses, kalamay and other delicacies. They also sell souvenir shirts for 130.00 php. But I'd recommend you to buy the shirt at hinagdanan since it much cheaper. The price of shirts at hinagdanan are just for 99.00 php.

We wanted to visit Prony the python but unfortunately he already died :(

After hinagdanan, we decided to go to the port though it was too early but we wanted to sit and relax before the trip. Hopefully, we'll be visiting Bohol again but Panglao and Danao Adventure is on the list.

*Lantaw Busay*

Operating hours: 11:00 am to 11:00 pm (Monday to Sunday)

Contact #: 032-511-0379 / 0933-950-5323

Free use of their WiFi

Planned our food trip with food trippers (4 members) at Lantaw Busay after work. We rode a taxi from IT Park . The driver told us we have to add 50.00php because it's a bit far so we then agreed compared to riding a motorcycle which costs 50-60php and mahangin-ba-sa-labas show!!! LOL!

We paid 130.00php (metered) plus an additional 50.00php for a total of 180.00php good for 4pax.

But if you headed from the city taxi's price ranged from 400-500. But if you're too adventurous enough you can ride a jeepney with 04H or route going to plaza housing (LAHUG) then from the last stop, you can ride motorcycle (habal2x) with the same cost.

We arrived in Lantaw at 3:00pm. And then we saw this sign.

And another sign

From the signage we then have to walk to the restaurant

Can you see the 2 signages behind them? hahaha

Behind him is where the restaurant stands.

On your way up is a welcome sign..
