What you'll pay on the day
The van price covers the van, your driver, fuel and parking: ₱5,500 for the whole group. Each stop charges its own entrance fee, paid per person in cash at the gate.
Fees change from time to time, so we send this month's fees with your quote. The Bilar forest is a stretch of public road, so there is nothing to pay there.
Arrival day
Landing in Bohol? Go straight to the Chocolate Hills.
Your driver meets you at the airport or Tagbilaran Port. Your bags ride with you in the van, you do the countryside tour, and the day ends at your hotel.

Tell us your flight or ferry and your bags; we confirm that everyone and everything fits. Coming from Cebu? We meet your ferry at Tagbilaran Port.
Private van or joiner tour?
A joiner tour sells seats in a shared van from a meet-up point. For a couple or a small group it is cheaper. From 4 people, your own van costs less in total, picks you up at your hotel and runs at your pace.
Joiner price: a typical 8-hour countryside joiner from Alona, ₱1,400 per person with fees and lunch extra, checked 17 Oct 2026.
Good to know before the day
Start early. An 8 AM pickup means cooler air at the viewing deck and more time at each stop.
Bring pesos in cash. Entrance fees and the lunch cruise are paid at each stop. Small notes help.
Keep voices low with the tarsiers. They are nocturnal and sleep through the day. No flash photos.
The viewing deck is up a long staircase. Take it slowly with grandparents or small children. Your driver waits at the car park.
Make it one trip
One conversation, one driver for your whole stay.
Airport to your hotel
Your driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign. We track your flight.
