   • At a depth of only one meter, there are schools of sardines! Huge swarms of fish that move as a single organism! Shimmering in the sun, shivering and changing direction in an instant, as soon as someone tries to disturb their peace.

     It's impossible to catch them. If you crash into this flock, they fly in all directions to reunite somewhere behind you. And if you lie on the water and do not move, they take in a ring: a strange, gray, living cloud. It's a mind-blowing experience.

   • Visit to the Chocolate Hills.

   • The Chocolate Hills are amazing landscapes created by nature. The Chocolate Hills are the most famous landmark of Bohol and they are even featured on the provincial coat of arms and flag. Wherever you look for information about Bohol, the first thing you will be advised to see is the chocolate hills. What are these hills? They are cone-shaped, their height varies from 30 to 120 meters, their number reaches from 1260 to 1776 hills on 50 square meters and in the dry season the grass on them burns out and becomes brown. All these factors together allow these hills to be called chocolate hills. Scientists have not yet agreed on the origin of the chocolate hills in Bohol. The chocolate hills are located in a flat terrain, which is even more surprising to humans. Nevertheless, scientists have put forward several versions of the origin of such a miracle of nature: the first - chocolate hills were formed as a result of volcanic activity, the second - once this place was the bottom of the ocean with lime deposits, and after many years, when the water level in the sea decreased, they appeared on land, and the third - due to the impact of rainwater and soil erosion was the rise of coral deposits. Although the versions of scientists are quite different, but they all agree on the main idea - chocolate hills are not the creation of human hands, because to create such a landmark, people would have taken much more effort and time than, for example, to create the pyramids in Egypt.

     • ATV ride around the chocolate hills (60 min.).

   • Embark on a thrilling adventure with an ATV ride around the famous Chocolate Hills of Bohol Island.

     Bohol Island, known for its breathtaking scenery and distinctive geological formations, is home to one of the Philippines' most unique natural wonders - the stunning Chocolate Hills.

     The remarkable Chocolate Hills are hundreds of symmetrical, gentle hills that turn a rich chocolate brown color during the dry season. Recognized as the third National Geographic monument in the Philippines, this magnificent site is also rated as a potential UNESCO World Heritage Site.

     While some tours will only take you to the observation deck, this ATV adventure offers exclusive access to the trails that wind around the foothills, allowing you to appreciate its beauty up close and from a unique perspective.

     This thrilling experience includes navigating a variety of terrain and scenic trails. With a full set of safety gear and detailed instruction, you can enjoy the ride with confidence and peace of mind.

     Your fun begins with a warm welcome from your friendly and knowledgeable guide in the ATV center waiting area. Once you are familiarized with your assigned ATV unit, you will be ready to embark on a thrilling ride through the majestic Chocolate Hills of Bohol Island.

     The sweeping views of these impressive hills with their unique conical shapes stretching all the way to the horizon will take your breath away. Feel the gust of wind on your face and the excitement of discovering hidden places only accessible by ATV.

     • Visit to the Tarsier Sanctuary.

   • It is quite problematic to see these little ones in the wild. They value privacy and do not like publicity. One of the favorite activities of tarsiers is playing “hide and seek”. High up in a tree, in dense shade, among the leaves, it is extremely difficult to spot, much less see in detail

     • Visiting the Mahagany Forest.

   • Mahagany Forest is the first and only man-made forest in the Philippines. It mainly consists of mahogany trees about 2 kilometers long, densely spread in Bilar and Loboc towns. The terrain on both sides of the road goes up; and I don't know how high. What you see is only a redwood tree that looks like thousands of sentries standing upright and guarding the road. No other vegetation grows among the redwoods. You can only see the brown trunks stretching out of the ground and the green canopy above them. And that is what makes them so attractive! It's beautiful to look at the roots of the trees as they protrude from the ground and creep over boulders and the contours of the earth, even reaching the side of the road. Looking at them gives you shivers. Like the tentacles of a giant octopus, the roots seem to reach out and grab careless passersby, just as they did in the movie Lord of the Rings.

     • Zip-line over the Loboc River (Loboc Eco-Tourism Adventure Park).

   • Who likes to tickle their nerves, experience new emotions and get adrenaline! I would like to note that the flight is not just like in a rope park between trees - but over the trees and even over the river! The height of the zip line flight is about 100 meters.

     • Raft-restaurant rafting on the Loboc River Cruise and lunch during the rafting - buffet national cuisine (group tour by boat).

   • Loboc River is one of the main rivers on the island. It is picturesque and its waters are calm, which is why there are floating raft-restaurant cruises. The cruise starts with a hearty lunch and then the float continues for about one hour.

     There will be live music during the float. Songs may be boholano, jazz or blues. Enjoy traditional dancing and singing from performers on the riverbank. Be sure to wave to passengers from other floating restaurants as they pass in the other direction.

     Our floating restaurant will follow the winding river green. Cruise past nipa palms, coconut palms, banana plants and shrubs. The water currents are calm until we reach the small Busay waterfall at the end of the trip.

Visit various white sand beaches, coves and small islands with your guide who will escort you to the best snorkeling spots in the area. The island is surrounded by beautiful corals and a variety of marine life such as colorful sponges, moray eels and sea snakes. The tour includes various stops.

Cliff dive and pose in front of the clear waters on the Magic Island while you can sunbathe at the popular beaches of Puka Beach and Balinhai Beach.

      Boracay is the beach capital of the Philippines. Perhaps we wouldn't be wrong to call Boracay one of the world's best beach vacation destinations. This very small island (7 kilometers long and a maximum of 4 kilometers wide) is located 350 kilometers from Manila. The southwest coast of the island is washed by the Sulu Sea and the northeast coast by the Sibuyan Sea.

      It is hard to believe that the island was discovered by tourists only in the 60s, and 30 years ago, when all adventurers dreamed of coming here, Boracay did not even have electricity, and accommodation was offered in simple bungalows for only a few dollars a day. The island became popular among foreign tourists only in the mid-80s, when the first hotels were built. The times when Boracay was considered the Mecca of backpackers, which was enough to enjoy the sea and sun all day long, are gone, Nowadays, every year the island is visited by more than a quarter of a million tourists from all over the world (it is the most popular place in the Philippines among Russians). Some still prefer “dolce far niente”, but most spend their days mastering diving, kite surfing, golfing or surfing, and after sunset are engaged in comparative analysis of the quality of cocktails in beach bars or forgotten in the spa. Naturally, you can combine any number of these activities in any order. Boracay is a resort democratic and refined, fun and peaceful at the same time. Perhaps that is its special charm.

      • Individual hotel transfer.
      • Individual sunset cruise by sailboat (30 min).
      • Free time.

13. Day 13/ Boracay Island.

    • Last day in the Philippines. 

    • We try to enjoy swimming, sunbathing, water sports and the most beautiful sunset in the Philippines.

      Boracay is the most important resort in the Philippines for beach vacations. It is not once recognized as one of the best by different travel portals and magazines, for example, in 2016, the authoritative American magazine “Conde Nast Traveler” named it the best for tourism. And the island really deserved such an award, because its White Beach (White Beach) has all the signs of an excellent resort: a wide multi-kilometer beach with white soft sand, palm trees on the coast, calm sea with a relatively gentle entrance to the water and developed infrastructure.

      As for the latter, it has only improved since the island opened on October 26, 2018 (it was closed in April 2018). In the six months that it was closed, all the substandard accommodation that did not meet the standards was demolished or renovated. Each hotel was thoroughly checked and only the best of them received accreditation and the opportunity to receive guests. Thanks to this, all hotels have excellent conditions for a quality vacation. Restaurants, bars and discos that do not meet the new norms were closed. Also, the sewage system was improved within six months. Finally, public environmentally friendly transportation - electric cars that do not use gasoline - began to run. In general, Boracay has become an exemplary resort not only in terms of beaches, but also in terms of infrastructure.
