We began by taking a Multicab to the limestone caves for a refreshing swim before heading to the diving site. The entire itinerary was well-planned, not rushed, and our guide was lively and attentive to everyone. It was also a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow travelers from around the world, a key aspect of traveling in the Philippines. I met a fascinating girl from Peru who owned a hostel there and shared her passion for diving. She had also pre-booked this excursion, which is how we crossed paths. This is an experience I would gladly repeat!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19523 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-12.jpg\" alt=\"Philippines Travel Guide\" width=\"414\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-12.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-12-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Pamilican Island<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next day, I explored <a href=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/tours\/call-it-paradise-pamilacan-island-day-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pamilacan Island<\/a>, and I must say, it swiftly became one of my all-time favorites on Bohol Island. It&#8217;s like discovering a hidden paradise that doesn&#8217;t typically make it into the usual travel recommendations for the Philippines. The boat journey took about 40 minutes. En route to Pamilacan Island, our boat captain made a deliberate stop at sea to call dolphins, and we were fortunate to witness nearly 20 dolphins leaping and spinning near our boat\u2014a truly joyful spectacle! But the best part was yet to come. Near Pamilacan, we boarded a small boat to reach a snorkeling spot. Afterward, we enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by the locals on the island. Despite the warm coconut not being chilled, the food was incredibly tasty, and we savored every bite. What I can&#8217;t forget the most is relaxing on a hammock, taking in the picturesque scenery after lunch. I also had the chance to chat with a German yoga teacher living on Bohol Island, who was about to welcome his granddaughter into the world. Our conversation about life and its uncertainties made me realize that no matter our age, we all share common worries, and nobody&#8217;s life is perfectly planned. Travel helps us find ourselves and some of the answers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19521 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-14.jpg\" alt=\"Pamilacan\" width=\"254\" height=\"230\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19522 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-16.jpg\" alt=\"Pamilacan \" width=\"228\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-16.jpg 228w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-16-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Philippines Travel Guide: Start in Bohol (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/5B5dRVoPib5k9Q8f8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pamilacan Island<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Virgin Island<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final island I explored was <a href=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/tours\/virgin-islands-afternoon-sandbar-fun-half-day-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virgin Island<\/a>\u2014a destination that should be on any <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Philippines <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Itinerary. Our journey was momentarily delayed due to low tide, but this allowed us more time to enjoy the sea, snorkel, and witness the beautiful sunset. Photographers would love this opportunity, as the entire boat journey can be captured slowly. Remember to bring your bikini and various photo props for those perfect shots! Onboard, you&#8217;ll find stylish floaties available for use and a platter of authentic desserts paired with refreshing coconut drinks\u2014fantastic! Eventually, we reached Virgin Island, and even though it took us longer than expected due to the low tide, we still had ample time for spectacular sunset photos. This island-hopping adventure allowed me to spend more time with the diverse group of travelers I met, like Will from Taiwan, a passionate diver who had been traveling throughout Southeast Asia for the past six months. He cherished this solo travel time as an opportunity to not only make friends but also discover more about himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19504 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Philippines Travel Guide- Virgin Island\" width=\"336\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19503 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Philippines Travel Guide- Virgin Island\" width=\"336\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Island Life Insights &#8211; Discovering Bohol&#8217;s Countryside Wonders<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since getting to the main island of Bohol from Panglao Island can be challenging without the right knowledge of the road conditions, I opted to join the <a href=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/tours\/countryside-wonders-of-bohol-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Countryside Wonders of Bohol&#8221; tour<\/a>. This itinerary allowed me to comfortably enjoy the scenic views from an air-conditioned vehicle with a knowledgeable guide. The boat ride along Loboc River was a pleasant experience, and we had the chance to watch performances in local villages, even joining in the fun with some dancing. Although I&#8217;m not one to prioritize visiting famous attractions, seeing the legendary Chocolate Hills and getting up close to the tarsiers was undeniably worth it. In the end, this classic trip confirmed that I had truly experienced Bohol Island. This was also a special journey with a grandmother and her granddaughter, who lived in Liechtenstein and were visiting the grandmother&#8217;s native Philippines for the second time. The granddaughter wanted to travel with her grandmother once more before starting university, and she emphasized the importance of seizing the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19507 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-3.jpg\" alt=\"Bohol's Countryside Wonders \" width=\"342\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-3.jpg 342w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-3-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19508 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bohol's Countryside Wonders \" width=\"320\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-2.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-2-203x300.jpg 203w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Bohol Nightlife Extravaganza: Joining the Epic Pub Crawl on the island!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life on the islands wouldn&#8217;t be complete without evening entertainment. I still fondly remember my first Pub Crawl experience at Abraham Tel Aviv, so as soon as I arrived in Bohol, I signed up for the Friday night Pub Crawl. It didn&#8217;t disappoint! We got entry to 4 bars and clubs, including shots and drinks! It&#8217;s safe to say that it lived up to its reputation as Bohol&#8217;s Number 1 Pub Crawl. The hosts were open, friendly, and welcoming to all participants, and I had the pleasure of meeting a fantastic and cool group of people. I&#8217;d highly recommend it for <a href=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/solo-travel-in-the-philippines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">solo travelers<\/a> or those visiting with friends. Because there were so many participants on this trip, I won&#8217;t go into detail about every new friend I met, but I have a feeling that I&#8217;ll cross paths with them again somewhere else in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19509 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-5.jpg\" alt=\"Bohol Nightlife\" width=\"312\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-5.jpg 312w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-5-208x300.jpg 208w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19510 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-6.jpg\" alt=\"Bohol Nightlife\" width=\"306\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-6.jpg 306w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-6-204x300.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Manila- Food and Bamboo Biking in the town<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our guide, Jen, was absolutely awesome, and the tour was incredibly informative\u2014a vital aspect of any <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manila walking tour<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I joined the <a href=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/tours\/intramuros-free-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Intramuros Free Tour&#8221;<\/a> with Abraham Tours Manila, where we strolled around the historic city for about 1.5 hours while Jen shared fascinating insights. We even got to explore the famous St. Agustin Church up close, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the country&#8217;s oldest church. It was truly worth it. Since I&#8217;ve had great experiences with Abraham Tours before, I had no doubt that this would be an excellent tour! Right after the free tour, I hopped on the &#8220;Walk, Eat &amp; Bike &#8211; Manila City Tour.&#8221; This experience offers a genuine Manila adventure you can&#8217;t afford to miss\u2014a highlight of any <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manila walking tour<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Jen started us off by exploring a local market, where we sampled a variety of exotic fruits. From there, we headed to Chinatown to savor some mouthwatering street food. But what truly amazed me was riding bamboo bikes around the old city\u2014it added the perfect touch to our tour! I would eagerly do this fun adventure all over again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19511 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-7.jpg\" alt=\"Manila\" width=\"254\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-7.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-7-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/> \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19513 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-9.jpg\" alt=\"Manila\" width=\"254\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-9.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-9-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>Manila Getaway &#8211; Waterfall Wonders and Cultural Delights<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After spending a little over a week on Bohol Island, I flew to Manila to continue the second part of my journey. On my first day, I arrived at my accommodation in the evening, and the following day, I wasted no time in heading to <a href=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/tours\/fall-in-love-pagsanjan-falls-day-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pagsanjan Falls<\/a>. Although the journey was a bit long, Pagsanjan is an absolute must-visit during a trip to Manila. Before reaching the waterfall, we stopped in a small town where we had the opportunity to experience local transportation on historic railway tracks manually operated by locals. We indulged in Buko Pie (Coconut Pie) and even sampled some locally brewed alcohol at the endpoint on a sunny day. The upstream journey on a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bangka_(boat)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bangka<\/a> (outrigger canoe) was the highlight of the day, with the boatmen&#8217;s skill and diligence truly commendable. Finally, we arrived at the waterfall! Don&#8217;t forget to wear your swimwear and experience the refreshing waterfall before entering the Devil&#8217;s Cave. Afterward, we took a tricycle to a nearby distinctive Filipino-Mexican restaurant for a delicious lunch. This journey was heartwarming, especially as I shared it with an American family. Their 6-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter added a delightful touch with their innocent chatter throughout the day. After spending the entire day with them, I found myself reflecting on the kind of family life and travel experiences I&#8217;d want in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19517 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-10.jpg\" alt=\"Tours from Manila- on the way to the Pagsanjan Falls\" width=\"238\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-10.jpg 238w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-10-172x300.jpg 172w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19518 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-11.jpg\" alt=\"Tours from Manila\" width=\"258\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-11.jpg 258w, https:\/\/www.abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/unnamed-11-187x300.jpg 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abrahamtours.com\/philippines\/destination\/tours-from-manila\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tours from Manila<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Embrace the Unexpected &#8211; Start Your Adventure Now!<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>After more than two weeks of traveling, reuniting with Abraham Tours in both Bohol and Manila made me incredibly happy.
