Your destination
About Bohol
Most travellers reach Bohol by fast ferry from Cebu, and the island has two sea gateways. The direct choice is Tagbilaran City port (roughly 1.5-2 hours by fast craft, and the closest landing to Panglao and Alona Beach). The alternative is Tubigon port in the northwest: the crossing is shorter, but Tubigon sits about an hour by road from Tagbilaran. Bohol itself is the home of the Chocolate Hills, the tiny tarsier, and the diving reefs off Panglao.
