Frequently Asked Questions

How far is the Tarsier Sanctuary from Panglao?

Roughly 45 to 60 minutes by road each way. Staying inland cuts that to a short drive and lets you arrive before the tour vans.

When is the best time to see tarsiers?

Early morning or late afternoon. Tarsiers are nocturnal, and the middle of the day is when they are least active and the sanctuary is busiest.

Is the Corella sanctuary the ethical one?

The Philippine Tarsier Foundation site in Corella is the DENR-permitted sanctuary with fixed group sizes and no-flash rules, as distinct from roadside handlers.

Can I combine the sanctuary with the Chocolate Hills?

Yes — both sit on the standard countryside circuit, and most operators run them in a single day from either Panglao or Tagbilaran.
