Bohol Tours & Day Trips: What to Book, and What Each One Costs
Countryside circuits, island hopping, diving, and day-use passes — priced, compared, and bookable.
This is the booking side of Bohol. If you are still working out what you want to do, start with the themed guides under Things to Do; if you already know and want to compare specific operators, prices, and inclusions, you are in the right place.
Bohol’s bookable tours fall into four groups, and knowing which group you are shopping in makes the price differences legible.
Countryside circuits are the island’s signature full day — Chocolate Hills, the tarsier sanctuary at Corella, the Loboc River lunch cruise, the Blood Compact site — sold by a dozen operators at near-identical itineraries. What separates them is pacing, group size, and whether entrance fees are bundled. Several variants add firefly watching on the Abatan at dusk, or the Mirror of the World stop, which lengthens the day considerably.
Water trips from Panglao split between the boat routes (Balicasag, Virgin Island sandbar, Pamilacan) and the Napaling reef products — scuba, discover-dives for the uncertified, freediving courses, and the sardine-run snorkel. The Napaling trips are the ones where operator quality genuinely changes the experience, because the drop-off is deep and the sardine ball moves.
Day-use resort passes are Bohol’s quietest good deal: South Farm, North Zen Villas, and Oceanica sell pool-and-grounds access with lunch for a fraction of a room night. They pair well with a half-day of something else.
Adventure and add-ons — parasailing, jet ski, the UFO ride off Alona, mountain biking across the Loboc countryside — are short, priced per person, and mostly booked on the day.
Each page below carries the operator’s current price and rating where we have verified it. Prices are per person unless noted and move with season.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How far in advance should I book a Bohol tour?
- For the countryside circuit and Panglao island hopping, a day or two is usually enough outside Holy Week, Christmas, and the New Year. Diving and freediving at Napaling fill faster because boat and guide ratios are capped — book those a week out. Day-use resort passes at South Farm, North Zen, and Oceanica are capacity-limited on weekends and are worth booking ahead any time of year.
- Is a private tour worth the extra cost over a joiner?
- For the countryside circuit, yes if you care about pacing — the joiner version runs to a fixed clock through the Chocolate Hills, tarsier sanctuary, and Loboc River, and you will not linger anywhere. For island hopping, the difference matters less because the boat route is the same; the price gap mostly buys you a boat to yourselves.
- What do Bohol tour prices normally include?
- Almost always: transport, driver, and the fixed itinerary. Usually not: entrance fees at the Chocolate Hills complex and the tarsier sanctuary, the Loboc River lunch cruise ticket, and environmental fees on the island-hopping boats. Check each listing — the gap between an all-in and a transport-only price is often larger than the price difference between operators.
- Can I combine a Bohol tour with a day trip from Cebu?
- The Cebu-departure day trips listed here run the other direction — Cebu City to Bohol and back by fast craft, with the countryside circuit compressed into the middle. They work if Cebu is your base. If Bohol is your base, book the Bohol-departure versions instead; they cost less and give you far more time on the ground.
