PANGLAO ISLE, BOHOL

THE PHILIPPINES SERIES PT6

After a few days chilling on the beach in Camiguin LINK I headed north west to the island of Bohol.

ALONA BEACH HAS A SIMILAR ATMOSPHERE TO THAT OF BORACAY

I chose to stay at Moon Fools Hostel (recommended) on Panglao Island. Just over the bridge from Bohol and not far from Alona Beach.

WHERE IS BOHOL?

CHOCOLATE HILLS

Originally I didn’t plan to come here and check out the Chocolate Hills, a geological formation with 1,500 hills, scattered around an area of 50km2. I’ll be honest and say, although it was like nothing I have seen, I wasn’t entirely impressed and with hindsight would have preferred the extra days at another island. But it was still a good adventure.

ALONA BEACH

Alona Beach is stunning but very touristy which surprised me as I had never heard of it before. But it’s one of the closest beaches to Cebu, the go between of the majority of domestic flights here. Went to a bar during the day just to catch up on my diary and bumped into a few people from the hotel at Camiguin. They’re on their honeymoon and have only known each other 18months, good going!

FINAL THOUGHTS

Not the highlight of the Philippines I’ll admit, but the bar has been set so high after my first few weeks it’s hard to live up to the new expectations. The locals are just incredible!
