Nature Tripping in Bohol

One of the many still unspoiled waterfalls on Bohol, waiting for you to be discovered.

The lake in front of this fall is very deep, but if you swim across to the waterfall, you can enter a small cave behind it. In it, you will find some marvelous formed stalactites and stalagmites.

To the right of the fall is a cave. If you dare, you can climb up the top of that cave, and dive five meters down (check the current depth of the water before jumping!).

The Beaches of Bohol

Bohol is blessed with a number of marvelous white beaches, which just await to be discovered and enjoyed.

Panglao Island

Alona Beach Probably the most beautiful, and surely the most developed beach on Panglao is Alona Beach. Located at the Southwest of the island, this beach is about one and a half kilometers long, lined with nice resorts, which are great to stay for a some time, a number of well equiped diving establishments and pleasant places to eat out, if you do not want to eat at your resort's restaurant for a change.

Probably the only drawback of the beach are the large numbers of sea urchins that inhabit the water, starting some twenty or thirty meters out of the coast. You will just have to be careful when wading.

Don't forget to bring your snorkling equipment. When you swim about one hundred meters off the beach, you will reach the edge of the 'house' reef, at between three and five meters deep, and thus can be easily observed even without scuba equipment. If you are into scuba diving, though, don't forget to have a few dives here as well, as it is certainly worth it, not bad at all, even compared with the reefs the boats will bring you to.

Dumaluan Beach, also on the south of the island, is about two and half kilometers east of Alona Beach. Here you will find some of the more exclusive beach resorts of Bohol, such as the Bohol Beach Club.

Bikini Beach is about eight kilometers from Tagbilaran, and hence a popular location for local pick-nickers.

Momo Beach is on the north side of Panglao. This again is a shallow beach.

Doljo Beach (pronounced 'Dolho' beach) is on the Northwest of the island, not far from Momo beach, and is also a nice beach, mostly free from sea-grasses. This beach is known for the beautiful sea shells that can be found here.

The world famous Dumaluan Sunset

A piece of coral washed ashore. Even if you find such a piece of coral on the beach, you should still not pick it up and bring it back home, because corals are a protected species, and some customs officer abroad cannot see how it got into your possesion. Besides, it belongs here on the beach, to slowly erode and become part of the sand...
