Bohol in 3 Ways: Different Attractions You May Visit in Bohol, Philippines


A getaway in a beachfront resort in Bohol presents a great opportunity to discover a set of must-visit attractions in the province. With the various interesting spots you will find around the locale, you will be up for a multifaceted holiday. Truly, among the many reasons the province is one of the favorite destinations in the country, is that a new type of experience is available at every turn.

Beaches
Bohol's prime tourist attraction is a set of havens for beach bums. The town of Panglao alone is home to 4 irresistable beaches.

1. Alona Beach is probably the most developed beach in Panglao. It is about one and a half kilometers long, lines with a slew of restaurants, bars, and various types of accommodation in Bohol.
2. Lying under the shallow waters of Bagobo Beach is the finest white sand you’ll ever see and touch. It’s so fine you’ll start wondering whether the beach is made entirely of cornstarch.
3. Like Alona, Dumaluan Beach is a white-sand strip running one and a half kilometers along. If you’re still undecided about where to stay in Bohol, this is the go-to place. Here, you'll find some of the most luxurious beachfront resorts in Panglao.
4. Doljo Beach takes pride in its crystal clear water. It is also within proximity to Doljo Point and Doljo House Reef, which are spectacular diving sites just off the coast of Panglao.

Diving Spots
Those who love underwater adventures will surely be thrilled to discover these diving spots in Bohol.

1. Found in the west of Danao Beach, Balicasag Sanctuary is a deep coral wall starting at 3-meter depth and going down to up to 60 meters. The wall offers a good chance to find various nudibranch, eels, frogfish, scorpion fish, and leaf fish.
2. A 15-minute boat ride from Danao Beach will bring you to Arco Point, also known as the Hole in the Wall. It is a shallow dive spot with maximum 25-meter depth. It is common to see giant frogfish, nudibranch, slugs, moray eel, and snake eels in this spot.
3. About 5 minutes to the west of Danao Beach, an old outrigger dive boat named Habagat was sunk on purpose. Habagat Wreck is a dive spot for experienced divers since the wreck is at 35 to 38-meter depth.
4. A 30-minute boat ride from Danao Beach will bring you to Napaling, steep wall dive with big gorgonians and black corals. Schools of barracuda and jackfish can also be seen here from time to time.

Historical Sites
Bohol is also a cradle of rich history and heritage.

1. Located at Barangay Bool in Tagbilaran City, the Blood Compact Site marks the location where Datu Sikatuna, a native chieftain, forged a blood compact with Don Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, representing the King of Spain.
2. The Dagohoy Historical Marker in the town of Danao was installed by the Philippine Historical Comission to honor the heroic deeds of Francisco Dagohoy. He led the longest revolt in the country against the Spaniards which lasted for 84 years.
3. Atop the Mt. Carmel Hill is a historical tower of adobe and limestone. It was built to serve as a belfry of a church which was burned down during the Philippine revolution.
4. Punta Cruz is an ancient stone watchtower built by the townspeople as a lookout for incoming pirates. The tower commands a breathtaking view of the sea facing Cebu, Siquijor, and Mindanao.

Make the most of your vacation in a beachfront resort in Bohol by exploring these tourist attractions that are surely for the books.

Go Eco-Friendly During Your Travels With These Helpful Tips!

Doesn’t it bug you when you see trash on the streets when there’s a bin that’s nearby? When it comes to caring for our beloved earth home, we can do the simple acts of clean up and still have fun at the same time. No matter where we go, we should be mindful on the things we use and where to put them, especially when it comes to plastic materials that cost plenty.

When you’re in the midst of the busy city life, it’s actually easy to find a cozy and comfortable hotel in Manila, Philippines. Accommodations that are suitable for those who plan a quick stay before their primary destination, finding a place that is suitable to your travels and money pockets is a piece of cake. For a stay in the city, Swagman Hotel Manila would be one of the recommendations. For our backpackers and budget travelers, packing light would be one of their expertise. Travelling light also comes with knowing what to bring and saving. Here are three tips on how you can save on plastic when you’re always on the go.

Bring your own tumbler or water bottle - Save money from buying more plastic bottles that may end up in the trash bin. With your own bottle, you can wash and reuse whenever, wherever. 

When travelling light, we may want to have our clothes washed if the hotel or a nearby place provides a laundry service. If not, simply bring an extra laundry bag or limit the amount of plastic bags that you bring. Just don't forget to roll your clothes so you have enough space in your luggage.

Most hotels would provide complimentary bottles upon room reservations. Instead of letting it go to waste, you can make use of the bottles and place all other used plastic inside. This supports the plastic solution project that most people participate. It is not only fun but more organized as well.

Hopefully, you will apply these eco-friendly tips during your travels. If you plan to stay in one of The Oriental Hotel properties like Swagman Hotel Manila, you can check out the Swagman Hotel Manila rates through their website. Hotels like this one provides an earthy vibe that most likely supports in showing care to our environment. For bookings, visit https://swagman.theorientalhotels.com.

Three Must-See Locations in Leyte

Leyte is an oft-overlooked destination in the Visayas. Known chiefly for its role in the American conquest of the Philippines and the site of General Douglas MacArthur’s infamous “I have returned” speech, Leyte still has a lot to offer in terms of tourism and leisure value.

First place to visit is the MacArthur Landing Memorial National Park. This site commemorates the American military general’s return to the Philippines to claim the country from the grasp of the Japanese. It is located at the Leyte Gulf and features 7 bronze statues of American soldiers wading in a shallow pool towards the island. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Leyte due to its historical significance as well as the awe-inspiring view of its double life-sized statues.

Napantao Marine Sanctuary should be on your itinerary as well. A world-class dive site, Napantao Marine Sanctuary featuring stunning coral reefs, aquatic flora, and beautiful schools of fishes that you can discover underwater. Napantao goes as far down as 50 meters deep, so there’s definitely plenty to see when you strap on your diving gear and explore its depths. The sanctuary employs professional divemasters to guide you during your dives and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your safety during your explorations in the ocean.

Lastly, you must not forget the San Juanico Bridge. Spanning 2.16 kilometers, this bridge connects two Visayan destinations - Samar and Leyte. It is the longest bridges in the country which crosses a body of water, the San Juanico Strait. A quick road trip down the whole length of the San Juanico Bridge would make a memory to cherish, offering unforgettable views of the little islands and the whirlpools in the strait.

If you’re headed to Visayas, you’d want to know where to stay in Leyte. Look no further than the Oriental Leyte. This resort in Leyte offers you glamorous accommodation as well as beautiful facilities to make your stay enjoyable and hassle-free. After a tiring day spent discovering the wonders of the city, recharge in your well-appointed room or wind down with a meal at the Samsara Restaurant and Sand Bar. Check availability and prices through their website at http://leyte.theorientalhotels.com.
