      Pamilacan is one of the two small islands in front of Panglao’s shores. We like to visit it as it’s a small untouched paradise just a few kilometers away. When visiting Pamilacan we’ll have a great change to see dolphins along the way, snorkel with turtles in the coral gardens, walk around the island and meet it’s small community, visit the local school, and more. We’ll also have a traditional Boholano lunch made by a local family who’ll host us while taking some time to relax and let the day’s experiences sink in. Pamilacan Island is best visited early in the morning to increase our chances to see the wildlife as well as escape the afternoon heat. Also, being the less frequented island around Alona Beach, we’ll enjoy a more private experience on this tropical island.

      Not Your Usual Bohol Countryside Tour
      We joined a Bohol Countryside Tour with Abraham Bohol together with mostly Western guests. The tour van fetched us at 8AM and we visited these these places: - Tibuok Salt Making Area - Tibuok Showroom Store - Coconut Wine - Chocolate Hills ATV (optional, some guests availed of this for an extra 1.1k, 1 hour) - Chocolate Hills View Deck - Bohol Man Made Forest - Loboc River Lunch at the Loboc River Resort (Food is paid separately, it ranges from P200 onwards) - Kayaking, Boating, Stand Up Paddle Board Rides - Baclayon Church What I like about the tour is how it mixed the usual Bohol Countryside tour without the kitschy activities like the Butterfly Garden and Python Sanctuary. I was surprised though that the Loboc River Cruise—which was nice too—was not part of the tour, it was instead replaced by a lunch at the serene Loboc River Resort. And included with our lunch there were free kayak, boat, and paddle board rides. Not a bad alternative, if I may say so. I also like how the tour went for the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary, the more ethical and sustainable tarsier viewing site in Bohol, prioritizing the tarsier’s well-being over the viewing pleasure of tourists. We, nevertheless, still got pretty good pictures of the tarsiers, especially since our guide assisted us in taking photos. And finally, I love the energy and insights of our guide, Jirah!

      Ethical Tarsier Visit and Well-Curated Tour
      This is the best Countryside Tour I've joined in Bohol (I've done it three times already). I'm glad that we booked at Abraham Bohol, 'coz we've experienced the essence of Bohol with their thoughtfully curated tours. Everyone felt comfortable and everything ran smoothly thanks to Jirah, our lovely tour guide. 📌 Asin Tibuok Factory - we got to see how this rare Filipino artisanal sea salt was made by filtering seawater through ashes. 📌 Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary - one of only a few ethical foundations on the island, allowing visitors to spot tarsiers in their wild habitat and not in cages or other artificial imprisonment. 📌 Chocolate Hills - this is the reason why we booked a tour because our son was intrigued by what it would look like. 📌 Man-made Bilar Forest - we drove through the mahogany forest that was part of the government's efforts to address the area's erosion, deforestation, and soil degradation. 📌 Loboc River Resort - we had lunch here overlooking the river, and we also got to choose one water activity that is already included in the package. Our son chose the boat ride over paddleboarding and kayaking. 📌 Baclayon Church - aside from learning so much stuff about the church, our son met a random local 5-year-old girl who called him "friend" right away and gave him a bracelet. I highly recommend their unique and ethical tours in Bohol.

      The crowded chocolate hills view
      Nothing special getting up there, lots of tourists out of breath , I was a little disappointed by the view compared to other places to see the chocolate hills If you want to hike go to Alicia panoramic park! Less tourists because you have to walk uphill 😅 and a more scenic view

      Wonderful experience
      The sunset views were gorgeous. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It was amazing to watch the island “appear” when we arrived it was all under water. By the time we left it was an island

      Highly recommending this casual afternoon chill out tour on Virgin island. The tour is well organized and the transfer from the Abraham vehicle to captain Melanie's vessle was smooth and hassle free. We soon headed towards Virgin island. There was a snorkeling stop on the way. There was some interesting sea life to explore. The snorkeling gear provided was good quality. We then continued to Virgin island which was just emerging as we arrived and with low tide coming in just then we watched the sand bank increase in size. The sun was slowly setting and we enjoyed this special spot in the middle of the sea with the delicious philippino snacks and drinks provided. On the way back we stopped for a quick night swim by the boat, which was just as enjoyable as everything preceding on this tour. I would go again!

      One of our travel highlights!
      Great tour where the crew went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time and even acted as a professional photographer for some stunning sandbar sunset shots!

    This is a fantastic trip that doesn't require joining other groups, and it's one of my favorite experiences on Bohol Island! The journey takes about 40 minutes by boat (actual time depends on the sea conditions). Before reaching Pamilacan Island, the boat captain deliberately stops in the sea to call dolphins, and we were lucky to have nearly 20 dolphins come near the boat, leaping and spinning in groups – it was such a joyful sight! At this point, you might feel satisfied enough to head back to the hotel, but the best part is yet to come.

    Near Pamilacan, we boarded a small boat to reach a snorkeling spot. Afterwards, we had lunch prepared by the locals on the island. Even though the coconut they served wasn't chilled, the food was incredibly delicious, so it didn't really matter, haha! Lastly, what I can't forget the most is lying on a hammock and leisurely enjoying the picturesque scenery after lunch.
