My husband and I did the tour with guide, Ronie. He was great! Full of information and took very good care of us! The market was a lovely start to the day! We got to try sticky rice and hot chocolate that the locals eat and drink. We got to see what kind of food the locals sell and get an idea of how they live. The tarsier sanctuary was my favorite part bc I am an animal lover. It was very short but they are adorable little animals and we got some nice pictures. Ronie also stopped at a locals house where they make wine from coconuts and showed us how they hull rice. We got to do a little wine tasting. The chocolate hills, he took us to a hill where there weren't a lot of people so we got some nice pics. Lastly was the river cruise. Wasn't sure what to expect but it was really nice! Food was good! The river is really pretty and it was a nice way to end the trip. I recommend bringing peso's with you. When we got to the ferry, we each had to pay 25 peso for something to get through and then 30 each on the way back. Also, bring a cell phone charger. Our ferry on the way back got delayed an hr. I felt really bad bc the man picking us up did not know it was delayed and waited over an hour for us. Overall, great experience!

Dolly, our guide, and Freddy, the driver, gave us a great tour of Bohol. Dolly was so smart and knowledgeable. She knew geography, history and much more. We had a private tour with just the two of us. Pick up and drop off at hotel. It was a hot and humid day but having a private van alleviated the heat. This company may be on the pricey side but the convenience and the experience was all worth it. Thank you Dolly and Fred.

Really enjoyable trip with our guide Fronie who took us off the beaten track - enjoyed the market and tasting of sticky rice very much. And so happy we didn't go to the same chocolate hill as all the other tourists. The river cruise also weirdly enjoyable:-)

This tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide Fronie went out of his way to tailor our day to our interests. It’s exactly what you’d hope when you hire a local tour guide. I can’t recommend this company enough. I had hesitation about spending one of our entire precious days on a tour but I am so glad we did! Wow wow wow. These will be lifetime memories for my daughter and me.

We had the most wonderful day exploring Bohol with Fronie! An amazing tour which avoided all the packed spots and allowed us to soak in all the beauty of Bohol. From our pick up at our hotel to a Chocolate hills hike, local market tour (with tastings!), waterfall swim, floating cruise lunch, coconut wine tasting, and stop to see Tarsiers at the conservation center - we were taken care of and had all our questions answered by Fronie. We left having seen so much and learned so much about Bohol and the Philipines in general. We loved this tour and would highly recommend for anyone in the Panglao or Bohol area (: be sure to request Fronie and Friedi for the tour - they are simply the best!

My wife and I went on the Bohol nature tour today and it was one of the highlights of our trip to the Philippines! We chose this tour because the itinerary, while including expected locations like the Chocolate Hills and the Tarsier Sanctuary, included some interesting places which we didn’t see in other tours, like a public market and the Pangas waterfalls. The tour was even better than we expected, thanks in great part to our wonderful guide Jessie who introduced us to different aspects of life in Bohol throughout the trip. He even brought us to some surprise locations, like the workshop of a blacksmith who recycles metal from cars to create machetes. Special thanks also to our driver Jr, who drove us safely some very muddy roads on this rainy day. We would be happy to take another tour with Ecotravel on our next visit to the Philippines! Highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more about life in Bohol with an expert guide in addition to visiting different scenic locations.

Absolutely the best tours! Expectations were shattered! Did 2 tours with EcoTravel and tours - booked through our travel agency and they did not disappoint. Got so lucky to have Novie as our tour guide for both of our Bohol tours! Went to Pamilacan island and chocolate hills. Chocolate hills provided a tour of the Carmen Market where we were able to try get a view of what it’s like to be a local. We sincerely appreciated the experience and learned so much. Chocolate hills were amazing and tarsier sanctuary was awesome. Pamilacan island and dolphin watching was more than we could’ve asked for. Saw hundreds of dolphins, snorkeled, and ate like locals at Mary’s Place. Such a cool experience. Everyone made sure my 7 year old had an unforgettable experience. Thank you to Novie for 2 unforgettable days and a lifetime of memories!!!!!

My second outing with Ecotravelers this week & what an amazing day. Advertised as 8-10 hours & they are not wrong. A full day of non stop immersion into the local countryside. I’m so glad I did this tour. So worth it. Pick up from the hotel & off to a large local market where Jessie talked about how the local people worked from early in the morning catching their fish & then getting it to the market for sale during the day. Fish, meat & veg of many different colours & sizes. Has to be seen. Nothing like this in the UK. Off then to the Tarsier sanctuary to see the smallest primate. The guides search them out in the morning so know where they are to show you. Nocturnal so they tend to stay put during the day. Captured some wonderful photos here. Jessie is a super guide, constantly telling you about local culture, working practices & traditions. We had a not on the itinerary stop off to see rice being milled which was really interesting Next we saw machetes being made on the side of the road. Amazing to see the skills they showed. A stop off at the man made forest tipped off the morning. We also managed time to get in an additional ATV ride which was super fun. ( very small additional cost) but worth doing. Lunch was on a super boat tour. Fantastic buffet served whilst you tour down the river in some stunning scenery. Absolutely loved this. Saw the local dancers on the side of the river as we cruised down. Off then to the Chocolate Hills which are simply stunning. Fantastic scenery & choosing the nature route over the tourist route saw so much more. So interesting to hear from Jessie how they were formed I had an amazing day & can highly recommend doing this tour. I’d do it again any day. Thanks to Jessie & Exotravelers for a wonderful experience.

We loved our experience. As well as the main three attractions, there were a number of other experiences fitted in to the itinerary, including breakfast in and a tour around markets, a visit to a colonial era cathedral, and a visit to the cultural centre. We were not on the main tourist route, so it was not crowded. Jessie the guide was great, and informative and answered all our random questions- felt like we learned a lot about Bohol today! And we were 100% in good hands with the driver. Highly recommend!

Our driver Jr and tour guide Jessie were absolute legends, giving us lots of history, and all round fun times for the entire day. We were taken to the best spots, with no crowds and incredible delicious local food at the markets and on the river cruise. Couldn't give it a higher recommendation!

We had a wonderful time with Ecotravelers and especially Jessie. We booked our three private tours with them and they did not disappoint. On our Nature Tour we felt privileged as we went to uncrowded access of the chocolate hills, even though it was a muddy path, it was worth the effort. Spectacular view for just ourselves. Same story for the Tarsier sanctum which we visited a smaller location with few people, very nice and private. Then the cruise and lunch on Loboc River was fantastic. The food was plenty and delicious, and the singer was friend with our guide so we spent some good time. We chose the private tour, and Jessie made sure we were always comfortable, provided soft drinks, water and even fresh coconut. He made us feel like we had a friend in the Philippines, we earned each others trust very quickly. Highly recommended. Make sure to ask for Jessie.

Amazing day trip! Jessey was our guide and amazing. A huge perk of using Ecotravelers is they have access to one of the chocolate mounds for you to climb and get amazing reviews with no one around. It was just the two of us. We were a little unsure about the crowds at the main observation area so this was absolutely perfect. The rest of the tour was great as well!

We stayed in Anda and found that most of the trips seems to originate in Panglao but Eco Travelers hub were happy to accommodate us for a small extra fee. They were also able to work the trip so we were dropped of at the end to catch an onward ferry which worked really well. Essentially we did the trip in reverse but that was great as we alwaysisswd all if the crowds. Jessie, along with our driver, picked us up right on time from our hotel, bright and cheerful from the get go. We picked this trip because the standard offerings included stops we didn't really like the sound of but still included the must sees of Chocolate Hills, Tarsiers, Pangas falls (which we had to ourselves) Nature reserve to feed the monkeys( we were first visitors of the day) Made mahogany forest and local market. Jessie was chatty, friendly and treated to the best hot chocolate I've ever had. A great trip, very accommodating to all our needs.

Amazing circuit realized with EcoTravelers Hub! Two days off the beaten track with a program adapted to our desires, a driver and a super Jessie guide just for us! Chocolate Hills, Waterfalls, rice terraces... It was really something. We will be back as soon as possible.

Belle vue sur ces collines incroyables du haut du promontoire. On en prend plein les yeux 🤩🤩. Elles sont à peu prêt de la même taille et doivent leur noms à la couleur que prend la végétation à la fin de la saison sèche

Magnifique excursion, organisation au top, observation des tarsiers avant l’arrivée de la foule, point de vue des Chocolate Hills sur une colline sans touriste, c’était magnifique ! Nous avons aussi dégusté au marché plusieurs produits locaux grâce à notre guide. Un grand merci.
