Bohol Coco Farm



A detailed itinerary of our Bohol tour last November.

This is supposed to be for a 6 pax tour but Pau's parents and siblings backed out. Anyway, we got our tickets a year ago with 500 pesos worth of RT fare only so it's really not a big thing to cancel their flights. haha!




We stayed for 2 nights at Bohol Coco Farm and also availed their Countryside tour. It was supposed to be a night of stay only but since we can't decide yet where to stay at our 2nd and 3rd night, we have decided to just stay for another night.


From the airport, take a tricycle and go to the Jeepney Terminal at Bohol Museum it costs 10 pesos and take a jeepney bound to  TAWALA then tell the driver that your stop is at Bohol Coco Farm. Jeepneys are available only until 6 pm, it costs 20 pesos only. It's a 20-30mins jeepney ride.

Or you may take a cab or tricycle directly going to Bohol Coco farm but it would cost you 250 pesos or more.

 It's quite a busy day. We need to queued up just to get our slot.


 Halata ba? I was not comfy here. But hell, it's way cheaper than taking a tryk!

Once you alight from the jeepney, it will be a long walk going to the main entrance but it's a good exercise anyway.






We had the private hut for only 800 pesos with free breakfast for 2 already! Unli coffee and free wifi at their resto. Plus all organic food is so delish! For solo backpackers, it's only 350 each including the breakfast! That's a steal!



This is our hut accommodation with a fan. Since it has a high ceiling, it's quite cold, especially at midnight.
Just bring bug repellent because this is a farm there's plenty of insects.

There's a lot of things you could do here. There are hammocks where you could just chill the whole day.






Most of the visitors here were foreigners. Backpackers. 







Our free breakfast.


We had our Bohol countryside tour from Bohol Coco farm. You just have to register at the restaurant and your name will be listed on the board. Usually, it is a group tour - will be joined by other backpackers. The tours are cheaper compared to any other tour I found online.

By the way, this farm is just across the Alona beach, errr 15-20mins walk to Alona beach. You may rent a motorbike from the farm or hire somebody for RT transfer to Alona beach. 

 This place is best if you will be doing the Balicasag, Countryside, or Firefly watching tour since you will be out of your room the whole day. Then should you wished a beach view, you may transfer accommodation somewhere in Alona beach a day after that - this is what we did.
#BUDGETTIP

Aquria, Playa Calatagan

Image
It's a long weekend na naman, kaya we have decided to lay down on the sand under the sun. My skin is still tanned and havent been recovered from yesterday's outing with my family in Lipa and yet again we have this biglaang lakad. We went to Aquaria last Sunday as we thought that we would be able to enjoy the solemnity of the place but I was wrong. Forgot that since it's a long weekend, a lot of people will be on leave as well and will rush to the beach for the last few weeks of summer. We didnt bring a car for I wanted to learn how to commute to Calatagan  (sometimes it better if youre lost - that's my fav tagline) and I also thought that it is just a piece of cake since we will be coming from Batangas. BUT I WAS WRONG! PLEASE WAG NIO KAMI GAYANIN! hahaha! Since we came from Batangas, we had a hard time looking for a route going to Calatagan. Unlike those that will be coming from Manila, I think there's a direct route going to Calatagan. As per my res...

TAAL BASILICA

Image
hmmm... Im from Batangas  that's why I always have the chance to go to the Asia's oldest church which is St. Martin de Tours of Taal... but one day my boyfie and I decided to climb at the Tore of Taal church.. at first I didnt like my bf's idea since Im really afraid of heights but we still decided to try it just for the heck of adventure.. twas creepy, I mean the way up.. coz its too old, too dark and the old stonewalls look like weak and will break anytime! I heard some bats as well and the smell wasn't that nice.. but definitely the view from top was indeed breath taking! You can see the entire city of Taal, the market and the Municipality. Its kinda windy as well so its not really advisable to stay that long since it doesnt have fences. Before you can go there, you need to visit the main office so they could have you assisted by their guards or sakristan since it's not really safe. Then a little donation wont hurt your pocket, I guess. We gave 50 pes...
