The tarsier is a very small primate. It looks like a cross between a monkey and a bat. However they are very small, tiny even. Visiting this place would require some time to drive, but when you get there, you walk through a maze in the mountain side forest to find the tarsiers. If you are lucky, you get to...

A short guided jungle tour to see these little tiny adorable primates while we were in Bohol. We were told to keep quiet and refrain from using any camera flash as these primates are extremely sensitive and delicate. There were 12 stations in the guided tour and the footpath goes up and down a little foothill.

Unfortunately we must have arrived at a time when there were no available guides as we just wandered along the pathways with a crowd. A guided tour would have been good. The little Tarsiers are very cute and the park is very well maintained. It was wonderful to see them up close and great to see that conservation of this...

Thank you for your response. The foundation would like to clarify, since we never let anyone into the tarsier habitat without a guide, and this leads to the question: Was these in Loboc or in Corella? Because the Philippine Tarsier Foundation, Inc, where the Philippine Tarsier sanctuary is located is in Corella, a 15 minuted drive if on private vehicle...

I enjoyed seeing the tarsiers up close in their natural environment, although I can't really say it was worth the drive to get there. The fee is minimal (I think it was about $1 USD) and the place is nice. It's a small jungle next to a sort of welcome center-house thing. The guides go out before opening to find...

Hello,
Thank you for the visit and we appreciate your feedback, rest assured we had it noted. The tour actually takes 30 minutes and we have video viewing for the guests to know more about the foundation, and the Philippine Tarsiers. Probably of the rain that the tour got cut short. And the tarsiers hide when it's raining too. It's...

See them in their natural habitat instead of cages. I saw 6 that morning and got excellent shots with only myself and the guide. They could stand to beef up the station with better exhibits and maybe a video presentation too.

Hello,
Thank you for visiting the foundation and we appreciate the feedback. Just wondering if the place you visited was in Corella? Because the Philippine Tarsier Foundation is located in Corella. And yes, we do have a video showing. I'll note to have guides suggest that to guests.

I read on Asian Geographic that tarsier was believed to exist the same time as Dinosaurs & they survived to today! They are not exactly endangered but it is good effort to conserve them.

These are the cutest small primates you can imagine. It is absolutely worth the effort to go and see them. You should certainly not see them in a cage. The primates at this place are free to come and go as they wish so make sure that your money is actually helping these wonderful primates.
Try to go by public...

a great sanctuary for the tarsier.. tho the staff are taking care of the tourist their main priority is still the welfare of the tarsier... tarsiers cant tolerate too much noise because of their sensitive ears.. on our stay there a group of tourist made a loud laugh then suddenly we just heared an angry sounding voice from the outside...

Definitely worth a visit. The tarsiers are adorable. You don't get a lot of time with them to reduce the disturbance, but it is still worth the trip.
