A great facility in the Bohol forest taking care of a good number of Tarsiers. You get a quick and efficient presentation of the animal and a chance to observe then close up in their natural habitat. A very nice experience which we recommend when in Bohol.

If you are sort of a daredevil then going to this place in Bohol is a must! Danao Adventure Park offers caving, zip-line, rappelling, kayaking and other high-adrenaline activities like my favorite, the plunge (a canyon swing adventure that calls for you to free fall for over 45 meters before being launched into a pendulum swing, 100 meters wide). Note: This ia not for the weak-hearted ones.

From Dao bus terminal, we rode a van to Sagbayan for 360 (4pax). Hired 2 motorcycles to Sagbayan peak 60/pax round trip (driver waited for us). Entrance fee is 50/head and additional 10/head to the butterfly dome. Too bad the tarsier sanctuary is already closed. I chose this over Carmen to hit 3 attractions (chocolate hills, butterfly dome and tarsiers)in 1 place. It also has a playground for kids and pool. The park is well maintained and is a nice place to view the chocolate hills. You can carefully play around with butterflies too. Advisable for travellers with limited time to spare.

It will be fun if you are accompanied by its garden guide who will share with you information about the butterfly garden in a humourous way. Be sure to take the metamorphosis photoshoot (see my pic!).

As a thunderstorm passed over , our private Bohol Day Tour stopped into the Bohol Tarsier Conservation Area , after visiting other local tourist attraction Bohol Tarsier Conservation Area ... is a protected forestry park , for the tremendous project in the preservation & husbandry of Tarsiers Tarsiers ... are a cute , little , tree dwelling primate , with instinctive large eyes that help with it’s nocturnal instincts by maximise the available night lights Some other interesting fact about the Tarsiers • Tarsiers eyes are heavier then their brains • Tarsiers have the biggest eyes of all mammals - compared to their body size • Tarsiers are carnivores- watch your fingers ???????? The forest like trees in this protected sanctuary , are populated with nocturnal insects , that make up the Tarsier's diet Disappointedly on the day we visited , as still heavy raining ... plus being near midday ... understandably the little Tarsiers were hiding under the foliage Through this conservation area , are the goat-track sealed walkways , used to observe the Tarsiers from ... with conservation staff spotters , helpfully directing visitors to the hard to find Tarsiers Totally worth it Would have liked to have taken better photos ... not easy with the rain & iPhone

One of our favorite places to visit in the Philippines was for sure Panglao, and especially the Donatela Hotel (Tarsier Botanika). We had such a great time. The hotel was built with nature in mind, and you experience that everywhere around you. Nestled in a natural landscape of 7,5 hectare of botanical gardens, the private villas are a dream ❤ They are designed to give privacy, luxury and space for the guests, and they for sure do. Each villa has it’s own private garden, and we have for sure used it. One of the afternoons we decided to have a long picnic with lots of food. The staff was very happy to help us with the set up and arranged all the food. There were pastries, fresh fruit, sandwiches and a fresh coconut. We also really like the design of the villas. It is based on the traditional Ifugao Tribal House concept found in the northern part of the Philippines, which gives a really cozy natural touch to the resort. Since few of the villas has it’s own private pool (!), the main pool was not crowded at all during our stay. We had so many chances to be absolutely alone at the huge pool, with a bar and very good wifi. While chilling at the pool, you hear lots of great birds. We walked around the property to see where the noises came from, and we found a mini zoo. With lots of rescued animals, as cats, a bearcat, parrots and lots of other birds. Really awesome! When you are visiting Panglao, you need to check out Donatela Hotel (Tarsier Botanika). The resort also boasts a fine dining restaurant, wine room, and a variety of activities, such as horseback riding, and spa treatments, apart form the tours and attractions of the island.

The protected area is peaceful and you get to see a few animal including the shy and slow-moving flying lemur. There were also some rescued birds of prey recuperating on the premises. The guided tour was mostly pointless because the guide barely spoke English and no one shared any information about the area or the reserve. I was not happy that monkeys were called down from trees with offers of fruit but that seems to be the extent of interactions with wildlife. Apart from this it was a good visit to a well-maintained area.
