Overview
White Heaven Hills is a short hiking climb in Barangay Suba, Anda, on Bohol’s eastern peninsula. The trail steepens in sections and passes religious waypoints — an image of Our Lady of Fatima, then the Stations of the Cross — before reaching a summit that opens onto sea, sky, and the surrounding hill line. A small café at the trailhead handles refreshments before or after the climb.
The café itself — White Heaven Cafe — sits on the hilltop with indoor seating and an outdoor deck facing the coastline. The menu runs budget, roughly ₱1 to ₱200, and covers specialty coffee, flavoured shakes, an extensive tea list, and crepes and small plates. A staircase behind the property continues uphill into the trail proper. A separate social-media source lists no entrance fee.
Location
Barangay Suba, Anda, Bohol. Anda is a municipality at the tip of Bohol’s eastern peninsula, approximately 100 km from Tagbilaran City. The hill is near Anda Lagoon.
Getting There
From Tagbilaran City, take a bus or van heading east toward Jagna, then continue to Anda — total travel time is approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. From Anda town proper, habal-habal can reach Barangay Suba. Confirm the exact trailhead location and the current habal-habal fare from Anda poblacion locally, as both can vary.
Practical Info
- Trail difficulty: moderate — the path is steep with rocky sections, damaged stairs, and unstable steps
- Recommended footwear: closed-toe hiking shoes or trail sandals with grip
- Café at trailhead (White Heaven Cafe): coffee, shakes, tea, crepes and small plates, roughly ₱1–₱200 — confirm current operating hours locally, as these can change seasonally
- Admission: reported by one social-media source as no entrance fee; this isn’t independently confirmed, so budget a small amount just in case and check on arrival
- Estimated hike time: not documented precisely — the climb is described as short, but pace and time spent at the summit vary, so ask locally or allow extra time if you plan to linger
What to Expect
The trail starts at the café — a practical stop before the climb — then ascends steeply through rocky, uneven terrain. Some sections have damaged stairs and unstable steps that call for careful footing. The first landmark is an image of Our Lady of Fatima, followed by the Stations of the Cross set along the hillside. From the summit, the view opens across the Bohol Sea, the ridgeline behind it, and open sky. The religious markers along the way and the summit panorama together draw both devotional visitors and hikers there for the elevation.
Pairing a hilltop climb with a set of Stations of the Cross is a common pattern in provincial Bohol — a working devotional trail doubling as recreation, rather than a purpose-built tourist attraction retrofitted with religious signage. Visitors who climb during Lent will likely find the Stations in active use by parishioners doing the traditional walk, which is worth factoring into timing if the goal is a quiet hike rather than a shared devotional one.
The café at the base runs on the same small-scale, family-operated model common to Anda’s newer visitor stops: a modest menu, a modest building, and a business that exists because the hill above it draws a steady trickle of hikers and pilgrims rather than because of any large investment. That small business, in turn, gives Barangay Suba households outside the fishing trade a foothold in the tourism side of Anda’s economy, which otherwise runs mostly on the beaches and cave pools closer to the coast.
Notes
- Appropriate footwear is strongly recommended — the damaged sections of the trail are a practical safety concern
- Anda Lagoon is nearby and can be combined into a half-day itinerary
- Other Anda attractions include Anda Falls and Banilad Spring Cave Pool
- It isn’t documented whether the Stations of the Cross along the trail are maintained by the local parish or a private landowner — worth asking locally if that matters to your visit
