We enjoyed the trip, Sam is a good guide, helpful and knowledgeable, a credit to the industry. We had some rain but he kept the mood good. You need to pay 500 environment fee and 900 each for food on the boat (to be fair this is as advertised). The boat and it's buffett were very good. Chocolate Hills is very nice. You will be asked about additional stops (time permitting) to make on the tour, with several options, we visited a cave that was really interesting, these additional stops are all at additional entrance cost (quite reasonable). We skipped the Butterfly sanctuary/mini zoo stop (Bohol Lemur and Butterfly) because someone in Cebu (word spreads) warned us previously it's pretty unethical by western standards (appropriately it is rated 2.7/5 stars on google reviews) To Sam - just a suggestion; perhaps rank the additional stop options by their aggregate popularity ratings online so people can make more informed decisions quickly and vote on them.

Loboc river cruise lunch was excellent. Good food, good entertainment specially the folk dance tinikling allowing us to join them. That was fun. Tasiers Conservation was also excellent seeing those small creatures. You can improve the guide to have a bigger signage and maybe a megaphone or speaker so everyone can hear what he was saying. Other than that he was really good. Recommended, oh yah, the chocolate hills, don’t miss it. Tiring to go up 220 steps to observation deck but really worth it. You’re on top of the world and see those chocolate Kisses. Nice ferry ride and hotel pickup is on time.

5 out of 5 stars

Fabulous tour, highly recommended. our guide was brilliant, gave us lots of information and was so well organised and professional. Our drivers were great. Lunch cruising along the river was delicious and such a lovely experience. Visiting the Tasiers and the Chocolate Hills was such a unique experience. If you are hesitating due to the length of the tour ot the price, I can confirm it was worthwhile for the experience.
