In Bohol, you can enjoy sightseeing and coming face to face with the country’s celebrated Tarsiers and Chocolate Hills, vegetate in the beaches of Panglao Island, eat organic in Bohol Bee Farm and watch dolphins frolic in their natural habitat!
I did that and more, I even rode at the back of a motorcycle for the first time!
But just when I am becoming satiated with Bohol’s many wonders, I come face to face with its islands!
BALICASAG ISLAND
This is considered to be a mecca of diving and snorkelling but since we are running out of time, I wasn’t able to snorkel! Too bad. I walked in the area for a bit, and soon I hopped on the boat to the Virgin island!
VIRGIN ISLAND
For those who are saying that Bohol is too touristy, too crowded, better head to Virgin Island to know that there are beautiful remote and private spots in Bohol that you can enjoy! When I was there, I can only look at utter amazement at the beautiful expanse of blue sea. The gradient of turquoise to blue is amazing. I swear I can stare at the seas for a whole day. Beautiful!
Virgin Island is an island with a sandbar. You can walk into the very thin sandbar leading to an islet with fine white sand surrounding it. It was amazing! It's like being transported.
While I was there, I saw ladies selling fresh coconut and sea urchins.

Wish we were able to do this when we last visited Bohol. We were scheduled to visit Balicasag but it was cancelled at the last minute because of poor weather conditions. Would love to visit Virgin Island too after reading this post. Thanks for sharing! Cheers
