MotorJhacker's 3-day Bohol Tour



I would like to share our 3 day Bohol tour, our group the MotorJhackers started early on Friday, June 13 (yes it was Friday the 13th)

Meeting place was at a gasoline station in Basak, Lapulapu

Around 8:00am we headed to Cordova port to ride an outrigger boat bound for Jetafe, Bohol my first impression of the boat was small, but I was wrong.
We boarded the boat past 8:00am then left Codova port past 9:00am, the travel was good and the boat was fast.


Below expenses for reference:
Motorbike: Php 200.00 
Passenger Fare: Php 150.00
Labor: Php 70.00 for loading of motorbike




We arrived Jetafe port around 11:00am, we disembarked and paid Php 70 for unloading of motorbike, first stop to a nearby carenderia to eat lunch, food was ok and cheap.

One wrong step and bye bye to my Mio



After eating we headed to Talibon to the house of our officemate to drop our bags for a hassle free touring. Jetafe to Talibon is around  20 kilometers concrete road perfect for a long drive, travel time about 20 minutes.

First on our list was to visit Danao Eco Adventure Park which was 45kms from Talibon via Buenavista. We didn't know that the road going to Danao was 75% rough road, it was hard driving with that kind of road condition and the weather made things even harder. The rain forced us to make a stop over, too much time wasted, difficult to drive in the rain.

Rough Road

When we reached Danao we stopped at Dagohoy Monument to snap some photos, then after some selfies we headed to Danao Adventure Park, the rain did not stopped us to snap more photos and selfies. We didn't get the chance to experience the rides because of the price (pricey...no budget) we just made most of our cameras to have more photos.

After all those selfies we headed to Sagbayan Peak which was 27 kilometers from Danao. The road was not good either, however we were greeted with Chocolate Hills on the way, snapped some photos up close and personal with a chocolate hill (but it's green)

Chocolate Hill (green hill I should say)

We arrived Sagbayan Peak almost 5:00pm and it was almost closing time, after paying the entrance fee we didn't waste time we started snapping more photos to make most of the time, the child in us.

After the super selfies we left Sagbayan Peak around 5:30pm to head back for Talibon. Distance from Sagbayan to Talibon is 60 kilometers. Lesson learned driving in the province you have to wear eyewear to protect your eyes from the attack of flying insects, otherwise the insects will impair your 20/20 vision.

We arrived Talibon around 7:00pm we head to the town proper to eat dinner, we bought lechon manok and puso, we ate the food swiftly, we were starving already, after eating we head back to the house.  The day ended with an exchange of stories of the road condition of Danao and the day it has been, lights off by 10:00pm

2nd day Saturday, we woke up for a "pamainit" so we can eat breakfast, so "pamainit" is a pre-requisite for breakfast? 

The breakfast was heavy, rice, shrimps and fish, hahaha eggs, ham and hotdogs were not staple food in Talibon.

We left Talibon to start our Tour Bohol. 
Route: Talibon, Ubay, Alicia, Candijay, Guindulman, Duero, Jagna, Garcia Hernandez, Valencia, Dimiao, Lila, Loay, Baclayon, Panglao (of course with pictures)

We arrived at Alona beach in Panglao around 12:30pm, after searching for a good place to eat we finally decided to stay at the stall with a value meal worth Php 120/order, food was good and worth it. 

Our table was located at the beach front so swimming while waiting for the food to be served was a good idea. Alona beach is a nice place, not pricey definitely coming back for a longer stay.

After a 2-hour stay at Alona beach we headed back to Talibon via Tubigon (130 kilometers), route was Panglao, Tagbilaran, Cortes, Maribojoc, Loon, Calape, Tubigon, Inabanga, Jetafe then Talibon.

On the way we were able to see roads and houses that were damaged due to the 7.2 earthquake that hit Bohol last year, we snapped some photos but not much since we were in a hurry, time was catching up on us we don't want to be driving at night, though I came prepared already, bought a clear shades in Panglao.

Nerdy look, but worth it, fying insects didn't make their way.

We arrived Talibon around 6:30pm we were greeted with crabs and shrimps for dinner, pork were not a staple food either  hahahaha, after dinner some of us hit the bed while others hit the videoke in the living room to consume the emperador brandy offered by the host.


3rd day we woke up with "pamainit" so we can have breakfast, so it's confirmed "pamainit" is a pre-requisite for breakfast. After eating breakfast we started packing our things. 

At 10:00am after saying our thank yous and good byes we hit the road to catch the boat leaving Jetafe port at 12:00 noon. We arrived Jetafe port around 11am we bought tickets for our motorbikes and for our fare, we had our lunch at a carenderia at the port with the sea as backdrop. We were able to board the outrigger around 11:00am 






Past 12:00 noon the boat left Jetafe the sea travel was smooth and fast, we arrived at Cordova port past 1:00pm 

Our 3 day tour was short, tiring, exciting, fun all rolled into one, if anyone would ask if I will do it again, my answer will be "Why Not?"



Until the next adventure....
