Beyond the wedding festivities, there’s so much to explore — from white-sand beaches to hidden caves and island adventures. Whether you're here for a few days or extending your stay, here are some experiences you won’t want to miss:
Experience the scenic and cultural highlights of Bohol in a single day. Visit the famous Chocolate Hills, see the world’s smallest primates—the tarsiers, and unwind on a Loboc River cruise with a buffet lunch. The tour also includes stops at historic churches, lush countryside views, and other picturesque spots that showcase the island’s natural charm and history.
If you're up for some sun and sea (and not too hungover), join an island tour from Panglao and check out nearby islands. Balicasag is great for snorkeling with turtles, and Virgin Island has a long sandbar and floating seafood vendors. You might even catch some dolphins if you go early enough!
This is the most popular beach on Panglao with restaurants and bars, it’s a great spot for enjoying sunset cocktails and experiencing the local nightlife. It’s the ‘main strip’ of Panglao with lots of hotels and restaurants around the area, so it can get a little bit busy.
If you’re up for a little adventure, head to the eastern side of Bohol! Anda and Candijay are perfect if you want to go off the beaten path — you’ll find beautiful rice terraces, white-sand beaches, waterfalls like Can-umantad Falls, and even cave pools hidden in the hills. It’s about a 2.5-hour drive from Panglao, and while the road gets a bit winding in some parts, the coastal views are totally worth it. There are also some nice hotels and restaurants in the area if you want to stay the night, or you can also do a day tour.
If you're looking to explore off the beaten path, the hike at Alicia Panoramic Park (also called Binabaje Hills) is a beautiful trek offering stunning 360-degree views of Bohol’s rolling hills. The drive from Panglao to Alicia usually takes about 2 to 3 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. Since it’s only about an hour’s drive from Anda, you can easily visit both places in one day if you’re feeling adventurous!
