Bohol,
without the rush.
One island for limestone country, tiny nocturnal primates, river towns, and a beach finish on Panglao. The trick is giving each part its own day.
Start with the 3-day route →First decisions
Where to base?
Alona is easiest. Dumaluan and Bolod are quieter. Doljo favors sunsets. Choose the daily rhythm before the room.
Compare Panglao areas →Ferry or fly?
Fly directly to Panglao or take a Cebu-Tagbilaran ferry. Compare the complete door-to-door transfer, not the ticket alone.
Plan the ferry →A route that works
Coast → country → coast
Use Panglao as the base, devote one full day to Corella, Loboc, Bilar, and the Chocolate Hills, then keep a marine or beach day flexible around the forecast.
