"How to go to Bohol, Philippines"

Find a flight: Many flights will require that you transfer to another plane at some point, because direct flights to Bohol are rare. Most airlines fly into airports in either Cebu or Manila. If you do not fly directly to Bohol once you are in the Philippines, you will need boat reservations for the last leg of your trip (see step 3).

Reserve a location: If possible, choose a hotel that you can see pictures of. Know exactly what you can expect to be included in your room. Many hotels in Bohol have a minimum requirement of nights to reserve a room. Finalize the logistics for your currency exchange at this point as well.

Make boat plans: There are two prominent ways to travel to Bohol. A ferry takes a slower and more enjoyably scenic route than a speed boat, which travels along at an average speed of fifty miles per hour. Taking a speed boat means you may not enjoy the ride as much, but you will arrive at your final destination much more quickly.

Plan your events: From whale watching to lounging on gorgeous beaches, or even seeing ancient churches, Bohol has a lot to offer tourists. Careful planing is needed for certain events. If you want to scuba dive, make reservations before leaving home. If you decide to go on a countryside tour or a dolphin tour, plan your time carefully. For your convenience, check into what activities your hotel offers.

Clear your travel documents: Most passports and proof of travel within six months are enough to spend a few weeks in Bohol. Always double check the rules of your specific country. If you plan on staying in Bohol for more than 21 days, you will need to apply for a travel visa, which extends your visiting time to 59 days. Be sure to follow the visa regulations -- a fee will be applied if you overstay your visa's expiration date.
