Chocolate Hills 🇵🇭

One of the best tourist sites in the world. There are many things to do in bohol but this is one of the best places to go. If you are on Panglao Island it's almost 1 hour and 45 minutes of travel time. Chocolate hills is the farthest destination but this is one of the highlights of the tour. Along the way from panglao to chocolate hills you will pass by the man made forest, Tarsier, loboc river, churches and blood compact. Recommended time at 9am starts maybe you will come back to the island at 3pm or 4pm for the duration of the tour.

This is chocolate hills which is form of a rolling terrain of haycock-shaped hills mounds of a generally conical and almost symmetrical shape. This tourist attraction is located at Carmen, Bohol. You can also see a lot of souvenir vendors nearby which you can buy for your loved ones. I must say that this place were really worth it even if it's far from the airport. I really had fun visiting this place and was able to see those chocolate hills. Also, in order for you to proceed in chocolate hills viewing, you have to climb the 214 stairs which is really tiring. However, once you came to the top, you will be mesmerize with the view that you will see. Also, there are a lot of travel agencies who offers tourist attraction package which you can also avail. We availed 1 package for 7 persons and that costs Php549 per head excluding the payment for entrance in every tourists spot you will enter. I can definitely recommend this Chocolate hills as you will also loved the scenery going to the top. The place was also has good viewing area and it is also refreshing and calming. #mytripvlog

Sun, Sand and Sea! All for free!

#summerbreak It was one of the best trips I had in Bohol. I went to visit my uncle and aunt's home in Clarin. They owned a bamboo walk that led to the sea. At the end of the bamboo walk, our boat waited to bring us to the sand bar. There were so many starfish in the area. We had lunch in our boat and swam to our hearts' content. Who said bonding with the family is expensive? I was glad I booked that flight from Trip.com and I was able to enjoy time with my family.

Bohol at a glance

Cute, amazing island with just 2-hour travelling from Cebu city by Oceanjet ferry. Love the ride across the Bilar man-made forest while heading to Chocolate hills, the extraordinary greenary color of Loboc river, the tarsiers are amazing to observe as well. The only thing I didn’t like is the crowd at Chocolate hills which killed a bit of experience to me, as a nature-lovers 😂. Just wish I have more time in Bohol. #summervacation

A MUST Cruise Along Loboc River! 🇵🇭

#timetotravel This is a very nice cruise experience down the Loboc River in Bohol. My family eally enjoyed the relaxing vibe of the cruise especially that it comes with a buffet meal. Everyone was happy and full tummy. There are some performances as well that we can watch as well. We were entertained that we feel like the 850 pesos per person was well worth it. The cruise takes a little bit more than an hour to enjoy the sight of the greenery, mangroves and palm trees. Enjoy your experience! #mytripvlog #tripblazers #bohol #philippines #restaurant #river

Lunch on the river

Let me start of my saying.. I am so grateful for meeting the lady who recommended this tour! This was a great first experience. We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of it. The live music made it so special. There was a buffet with a huge selection of foods to choose from. After the meal the boat sailed down the river and we were at the 'Ati tribe'. We were give n the option to get off the boat and take some photos with them, which we did. They were friendly and welcoming. It was such a great feeling and atmosphere!

Stunning Samui Island in Bangkok 😍

#cherryblossom2024 🌸 The "lying flat" vacation paradise on Samui Island is only about an hour away from Bukit Samui Island in Bangkok. This beautiful paradise is home to a vast number of people and beautiful scenery. I stayed at Chaven Beach Garden Resort for the first two days, and then at Kimpton for the second two days. When I left the hotel in a bustling area, I could go shopping, stroll in the night market, and eat delicious food. However, the surrounding area was too noisy at night, and I couldn't sleep well. However, the hotel's swimming pool, beach, and breakfast services were all very good. In the evening, I ordered a glass at the hotel's bar, blew the sea breeze, had a small vine, or went to the bustling market outside to eat, stroll, and jump. It's not bad to meet more people from Europe and America. In the next two days, Kingston is the opposite of this hotel, very quiet and even fewer people. It feels like a pool and beach are included, but it feels like it's for Chinese people. Most of them are Chinese people, and the environment inside is not to mention "playing with the hotel". Sleep until you wake up naturally, have breakfast, and then you can "lie flat" on the lounge chair next to his pool Ordering the same cup of drink, eating ice cream, and then going for a swim to enjoy the tranquility is simply not too enjoyable. You can also play kayaking for free for half an hour, but you can do horse racing and chicken killing before 5 pm, but you need to make an appointment in advance. The staff will also be off work at 5 pm, and there is one hour of free Happy Hour from 5 pm to 6 pm. You can drink his vines and snacks. However, the location is relatively remote, and the hotel is not as bustling. There is nothing to go around, so you can only take a taxi to Coco Tams. Speaking of Coco Tams, it is not as good as I imagined. In fact, after watching the Spark Show at the beach, you can go to the night market. 💡Before going, you can watch other people's guides. You can rent a motorcycle, but the two of us... One is that I feel unsafe, two is that I heard I have to hide from the police, and three is that I need to mortgage my passport. If I don't want to, I won't rent it. All I have to do is take a taxi to various places. #trip #instatravel #familytrip #historicallandmarks #songkran2024 #mytravelhacks

My goodness, this must be the ceiling of the island paradise

The delicate white sand beaches, the azure sea, and the stunning sunset sails... Every casual photo is breathtakingly beautiful, and the hours spent flying here are well worth it. ✈️ About the trip Since there are no direct flights from Chengdu to Boracay, and I didn't want to go through too much hassle with a child, I chose a group visa semi-independent travel. 🏝 Outbound: Chengdu Tianfu Airport - Caticlan, then a 20-minute boat ride to Boracay to check into the hotel. 🏝 Return: Kalibo - Chengdu Tianfu Airport, it takes a 2-hour bus ride from Boracay to Kalibo Airport. ⏰ Flight duration: About 4 hours 🏖️ Travel recommendations ❤️ White Beach: A must-visit spot in Boracay, known as the most beautiful beach in Asia, with a beautiful environment and fine sand. Divided into S1, S2, and S3 zones, S1 has relatively more people, lying on a thin layer of gauze is comfortable and stress-relieving, and it's also great for taking photos. ❤️ Sunset Sailing: A traditional water activity not to be missed, sailing through the waves at dusk to greet the sunset is a breathtakingly beautiful scene. ❤️ Virgin Island: You need to wait for low tide to walk on the rocks, which will give you a different photo experience. ❤️ Puka Beach: The wedding location of Fish Leong, with jelly-like sea, the sand is not as fine as White Beach, and the waves are bigger, with fewer tourists. The cost here is also cheaper, but be sure to pay attention to safety when with children. ❤️ Friday Beach: An excellent spot to watch the sunset sails, you can walk further north, right in front of the sunset. ❤️ Cliffside Walkway: Located to the right of Friday Beach, viewing the sea from the caves, the beauty of the sea is fully captured, and wearing a beautiful dress feels like a fairyland. There are usually more people in line here, so it's recommended to come before 9 am. 🍜 About dining Boracay is indeed a food desert, and we mostly dined at the hotel's restaurant during our stay. You can bring some pickled mustard tuber and chili powder, there are many shops in Dmall, but the prices are a bit high, I recommend a restaurant opposite Virgin Island, which is very affordable. Never buy things in the Dmall supermarket, a bowl of instant noodles that costs 6 yuan in China is 170 pesos!! 🌈 Boracay travel tips: 1⃣️ Currently, there are no direct flights from China to Boracay, it is recommended to choose a group semi-independent travel. 2⃣️ Hotel sockets are universal, no need to bring converters and adapters, hotels do not provide hair dryers, TV channels marked PAY are for pay, and a separate payment is required upon checkout. Besides bath towels, shower gel, and soap, you need to bring your own toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, slippers, comb, etc. 3⃣️ The Philippines is a tipping country, tips are expected for services like luggage handling, photography, and room cleaning, about 50 pesos or so, but coins should not be given. 4⃣️ Sunglasses, sun hats, swimsuits, beach dresses, they all look super good in photos, and sunscreen is a must to carry with you. 5⃣️ The temperature on the plane is low, so prepare a thick coat. 6⃣️ Exchange local currency at the bank in advance, prepare enough cash for shopping on the island.

One day I saw the sunset forty-four times

One day, I saw the sunset forty-four times. You know, when people feel very depressed. Always like the sunset. The sunset on Boracay Island always surprises people, sometimes it is red, sometimes it is orange, sometimes it is pink, why do everyone like to travel? It's for the expectation, excitement, joy, and relaxation in the travel. Seaside, sunset, beach, beer, afterglow, the earth seems to be writing a gentle letter, to me, to you, the sunset is particularly gentle, the world is all romantic. The restless heart seems to be lit at that moment.
