Are you looking to escape to luscious tropical jungles accompanied by spectacular colourful reefs? Then Bohol is the place for you! Bohol is known for its stunning ecosystems and abundant wildlife. There’s no shortage of things to see and do in this natural wonderland. There are white sandy beaches, framed by flourishing jungle, picturesque rice terraces, historic buildings, such as churches and watchtowers, the world-famous Chocolate Hills and the opportunity to glimpse a tarsier in the wild.
The capital city of the province is Tagbilaran, located at the southwestern end of Bohol Island. For divers, there are three areas we recommend; Anda, Cabilao and Panglao.
Anda is in the east of Bohol Island. It is known for being an eco-tourism hotspot. Unsurprising considering its feeling of remoteness, and it’s stunning coastlines. Long sweeping white sandy beaches and unique limestone topography which provides lots of places to explore both above and below the waves. It takes around 1hr40min to drive here from Tagbilaran.
Cabilao is an island off the west coast of Bohol in the Cebu Strait. The island has white sandy beaches, a nature reserve, two fish protection areas. It is home to Bohol’s only natural lake, Lake Lanao, which also serves as a small bird sanctuary. There are five villages on Cabilao, populated by about 3,500 inhabitants who survive on fishing, tourism, small agriculture and weaving of bags. From Tagbilaran it is a 1hr drive to Mocpoc Pier, Loon then a 20-minute outrigger boat ride to Cabilao.
Panglao is directly connected to the most southern part of the main island of Bohol by two bridges. It is a popular destination for both Filipinos and foreigners who come to enjoy the beautiful beaches, namely the 1.5km long Alona Beach and Doljo Beach, as well as the superb scuba diving. The white sand coral beach at Alona is lined with many resorts, restaurants, bars, souvenirs and dive shops. Alona Beach is a 30 – 45-minute drive from Tagbilaran Airport
Magic Oceans Dive Resort is located on the beautiful tropical island of Bohol. Situated in the southern part of the island, far away from mass tourism, is a small town called Anda, also known as the ‘Gem of Bohol’. This beautiful area has all the best characteristics – a perfect location to explore and admire the wonders of the coral triangle, pristine white beaches, rich history and breath-taking nature.
Magic Oceans boasts 16 native style cottages, a large pool, a brand new Spa, a dive centre only a few metres from the house reef as well as the pier for easy access onto the boats, a cosy bar, and a restaurant serving a variety of delicious local, Asian and Western dishes.
The diving at Magic Oceans is incredibly versatile. There is something for everyone to see! You can see everything from XXL to XXS, such as the Pygmy Seahorse, the Tiny Tiger Shrimp, schools of Jack Fish and if you’re lucky a passing Manta or a Whale Shark.
Not only is there a considerable amount of marine life, but there are also many different types of dive sites boasting healthy coral gardens, walls, slopes and muck diving.
Anda is also a great gateway to explore the rest of Bohol. Race through the Chocolate Hills on a quadbike, watch the cute little Tarsiers and admire the beautiful green sites on the hill tops.
Explore the mystical island of Lamanok, enjoy a river cruise lunch on the Loboc River, zipline through the air, and much more.
