Our driver JR was informative and friendly. We arrived at the tarsier sanctuary before it opened, but were allowed in anyway. They are so cute and small! Then we went to the chocolate farm, which was incredibly interesting and informative, and we even got to make our own chocolate (and taste the beans at every stage, from raw fruit to hot chocolate and a tea made from the husks of the beans). Our final so should have been the chocolate hills, but our driver was willing to be flexible and made an additional stop for us. This was one of the best tours we've taken in the Philippines.

This was a fantastic tour. Very well organized and felt very well thought out. I'm so glad they brought us to the actual tarsier sanctuary which is more out of the way but totally worth it! The chocolate making experience was super educational and very interesting. Our driver/guide JR was very willing to share information with us as we went around the island. He was even flexible with us and let us add on an extra stop. This was one of our favorite tours we went on in the Philippines

We chose the private ultimate tour because of the uniqueness of the places & activities and we didn't regret it. The driver was very open, friendly, sharing infos about their culture, which we really enjoyed. At every place we had our own guide😊 we liked the most the Alicia Panoramic Park trekking for the amazing views, but honestly, whole day was just perfect! We definitely recommend it for an unforgettable day in Bohol😍

Very good but windy trip. Saw dolphines on the way. Saw a sea turtle while snorkling and many little clown fish. A bit of stings from the gobbles in the water. Jessie, our guide, gave a good tour of the island. Skipped the virgin islands as it was too crowded and saw Isla Tomasa instead. The island hopping from Bohol has many tourists, so it is busy and crowded no matter what. But still a must-do recommendation.

I had a great time on this tour! The guide at the farm was very knowledgeable about growing cacao and how it's made into chocolate. And my guide for the full day, Fronie, was happy to answer my questions about the Chocolate Hills, the Tarsier Conservatory, and life in Bohol in general. I definitely recommend this trip for chocolate lovers and those looking to experience the nature of the island.

This trip was the highlight so far! We saw so many dolphins swimming beside the boat and jumping out of the water it was incredible. We both loved the island visit, we saw barely any tourists and was lovely to see that Ecotravelers gives back to the island which is wonderful. Lovely to meet the locals and the young children at nursery who all waved and said hello. Jessie was amazing he answered all our questions and was very knowledgable. Thank you. We snorkelled and saw turtles which again was truly amazing. Lunch was a banquet for two. This private tour was amazing. We booked purely on the reviews on here and booked direct. A trip not to be missed when visiting Bohol

We were suppose te go to Cebu by boat , the crossing was cancelled because a TYPHOON was coming. all the travellers were in a panick. We had to be in Cebu the next day , our flight to go back to Canada was leaving the next day. Flights were cancelled left and right , the agency went really out of their way to find a way for us to get to Cebu. The agency was close that day , they reopened for us and they came out with a fair price . In conclusion , we were in trouble , they gave us a fantastic service .

This excursion was fantastic. We were picked up on time, saw the dolphins, had a lovely and educational walk around the island, went snorkelling to see amazing fish, coral and a few turtles and finally had a lovely and well prepared lunch on board. On the way back we visited Virgin Island which is a lovely sandbank out in the ocean and was very nice to walk around in the shallow and crystal clear waters. Our guide Fronie was incredible. Very easy going, knowledgeable about local culture and super helpful with our 3 year old daughter. There was a lot of carrying required for the wee one and we got so much help from Fronie from carrying the wee one to helping with the bag and snorkelling equipment. We can’t recommend Fronie and this excursion highly enough

Must do in bohol - our favorite tour by far including coron & el Nido! We saw dolphins which were incredible at sun rise & swam with two big turtles - surreal! I requested a couple of things like visiting the local school and the tour operator arranged everything. Jessie is super personable & knowledgeable so you get a glimpse into authentic php culture. I loved the school, the kids were so cute & friendly. The food was the best tour food we had all trip. Definitely book this tour - island hopping - and ecotraveler who shy away from all the usual tourist spots and focus on sustainable practice. Thank you!

Really great tour. Jessie our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on the Philippines history and current day affairs. Lunch was great and he made sure we got snorkelling in quiet location.

Excellent way to spend the day. Being in the Philippines you almost always get good service from all the people here. But Jesse was next level. His attention to customers and servicabiltiy towards your every need was out standing. With out even asking most of the time he picked the type of people we were and made sure we had little distractions from other tourists from where swam, dived and even organised getting our food on the boat so we can eat alone.

Book Book Book. Don’t look anywhere else. We had a fantastic day with our own private tour. I can highly recommend this tour & the operators EcoTravellers. A simple booking process that was seamless & the excellent communication letting us know exactly what we were doing. Pick up was from the hotel. They will pick you up wherever you are staying. We were met by Jessie, who has to be the best guide I have ever had in all my travels. Very friendly, super knowledgeable about his tour & entertained us all day adding in little extras that were not in the brochure such as an additional island!! We saw dolphins, swam in the sea off Balicasag Island, had a village tour which was great to see how the islanders live. Snorkelling where we saw the turtles as well. Lunch was fantastic. So tasty & plenty of it. On to Virgin Island & a relax there in the sea. Was super to see this little strip of sand in the middle of the sea. We had plenty of time to do as we wished. There was no rushing at all & we had an amazing day. Have already booked more tours with this company. Highly recommended. Thanks To Novie & Jesse & the team at Eco travellers

A lovely sunrise spot. You will have to get there at 4am to be on time for the sunrise. The hike is easy, it's about an hour walking distance. Although doable without close shoes (the guides do it with flipflops) I would not recommend it can be slippery. It's located about an hour ride with a scooter. I would definitely advise to go there the day before and book a guide as you may not find the start of the trail otherwise. The guide is 300 PHP, add to this 30php environmental fee per person. Once you reach the summit of the hill, you will enjoy a picturesque scenery with a gorgeous sunrise. If you are lucky you will see the "sea of clouds". Perfect for photos and drones.

A nice and fairly big waterfall where you can swim and refresh yourself. Just rent a scooter and get there, it's easy to find.

We were lucky enough to have Jessie as a guide who was always punctual (to the minute!), full of interesting information and very accommodating to our requests. Jessie is obviously a very talented guide, he knows what he is doing, and planned our trip around avoiding the throngs of other tourists. Which meant that we had a very pleasant snorkeling experience and a beautiful lunch served on the boat. The walk through the village on Balicasag island was an absolute highlight , the kids at the local school sang us a song which was absolutely beautiful! I only wish that we had taken some school supplies with us to hand out. If anyone reads this please take some! They are all super happy with very little but it would have been nice to gift them a few pencils or books etc. I would definitely recommend any tour with Ecotravelers. Don’t book an island hopping tour with one of the hawkers on the beach, this was much more pleasant than a jam packed boat with and very reasonably priced too. The snorkeling was brilliant, beautiful turtles and fish. Very warm water although there was a strong current as the tide was changing which could be dangerous for weak swimmers. I would just suggest in future that Eco travelers maybe try to use non plastic utensils for lunch - it would be much more eco friendly to have reusable utensils. There was loads of rubbish on balicasag island, many tourists even dumped their lunch rubbish including knives forks and drink containers on the beach and left. I know that Jessie wouldn’t have done that with ours but anything we can do to reduce waste would be a better experience. I’d also probably prefer not to feed the fish crackers, as it’s not their natural food and they’d already been given loads by other snorkelers. I think those two things would make it even more eco aware and friendly.
