"Beautiful Bohol" Day-by-Day:
Panglao:
Landing in Manila you want to take a connecting flight to Panglao, Tagbilaran. From the airport, you can arrange a transfer to any hotel in Tawala or Alona beach for 500 pesos. This is where your "beautiful Bohol" starts!
Visit your diving center the same day, to arrange your Balicasag, Pamilacan island, or Doljo adventure!
​
Diving at Balicasag island or Pamilacan and Doljo will cost you around 5000 pesos for the entire day (3 dives, lunch, snacks, coffee, equipment, and environmental fee).
​
Recommended days: 3-4.

Anda:
To travel to your next destination, it only takes a tricycle ride and a van ride, to the east of Bohol.
​
From Panglao take a tricycle to Tagbilaran - Dao Terminal. From there you will be picked up by a dispatcher, asking you where you are heading. From Dao Terminal you can hop into a van, which will drive you straight to Anda Poblacion or a resort nearby of your choosing.
Buses depart early and throughout the day, so no need to book in advance!
​
Once in the Anda area, I highly recommend seeking out Anda scuba diving, at White beach resort. The diving center is excellent and close to some of the best reefs in Anda. Don't forget to at least do 1 night dive while you're here!
​
Recommended days: 3-4.

​Siquijor:
To travel to Siquijor island will be quite the trip, and technically not part of Bohol. But still very much worth it. I included this stop last because from Siquijor island it's quite easy to travel to Dumaguete or Cebu to continue your trip or head back home.
​
When leaving Anda Poblacion you will need to either take the van at 6 AM or probably better, take a tricycle to the next, bigger town/ crossroads (Manduilgan).
This ride only costs only 200 pesos, and at the crossroads, vans will come and go every 30 minutes or so, heading to Tagbilaran.
Once in Tagbilaran ask the driver to drop you near the port area, and head to Oceanjet ferries office near the pier, to get your ticket. 1600 pesos one-way.
​
Once arriving on Siquijor island you can either arrange yourself a tricycle or rent a scooter for 350 pesos per day (don't pay more than 400 pesos!)
​
I highly suggest heading to San Juan because most of the diving is done from here, and seek out Sea pearl divers, or Apo reef divers to book your diving for the next few days.
