Zipline over a gorge or do a reverse bungee jump, at your own risk. Danao's Nature Park offers these thrilling (and safe) activities, though not for the faint of heart.

Have lunch at this charming bee farm and organic garden on a seaside hill overlooking the sea. Opened by a Filipino repatriate, this wonderful farm also produces a variety of treats and desserts from ingredients grown on its premises.

Stop by the Blood Compact Site, where Spanish Captain General Miguel Lopez de Legazpi entered into a blood compact with Rajah Sikatuna, a local chieftain, to ensure friendly relations between the Spaniards and the natives.

See the Chocolate Hills, 1,776 conical mounds of grass-covered limestone that stand side-by-side in a seemingly endless horizon. It’s a sight to behold, especially in the summer when the intense heat turns the hills brown so that they resemble Hershey’s Chocolate Kisses.

In the evening, board a floating bamboo raft for a dinner cruise on Loboc River. The trees along the river banks are lined with multi-hued LED lights, offering a spectacular light show while guests dine on Filipino food while being entertained by acoustic guitar music.

Spend half a day on a historical tour of Bohol. Visit its old churches that date back to the early years of Spanish colonization in the late 16th century, and learn about the Muslim rajahs who first welcomed the Spanish visitors who introduced Christianity.

Stop by the Simply Butterflies Conservation Center. The enthusiastic conservationists will teach you a thing or two about winged insects (not just butterflies!), and you’ll get to walk around the lovely garden that is home to over 60 species of butterflies.

Drive along Bohol’s coast and see its verdant forests and healthy rivers. Along the way, stop by a tarsier conservation center. The tarsier is the second smallest primate in the world (after the mouse lemur), and it’s adorable.

Panglao Island has several stretches of white-sand beach with gentle waves, ideal for skimboarding, windsurfing and snorkeling. Some of the Philippines' best diving can be found off the coast of Bohol.
