Bilar Man-Made Forest

Just landed in Loboc, Bohol Island and went full-on explorer mode in this wild slice of the Philippines 🌿 Discovering misty forests, adorable tiny primates, and dreamy riverside breakfasts — you gotta see this place. Top Spots to Visit in Loboc 🌳 Bilar Man-Made Forest (M37H+M9X, Loay Interior Road, Bilar) Drive or bike through an epic two-kilometer tunnel of giant mahogany trees. Feels like a movie set, and it’s open all day — so go early for fewer selfie-stick squads and misty morning vibes. 🐒 Bohol Tarsier Conservation Area (Bilar, 6317 Bohol) Meet the legendary tarsiers (they're palm-sized with huge eyes, ultra photogenic). Open 8am–5pm, this place is serious about conservation — keep quiet, don’t poke the tarsiers, and bring cash for the cheap entry. 🌊 Loboc River Resort (6316, Camayaan Road Loboc) This is the vibe for chill riverside mornings — think pancakes, bacon, eggs, and tropical fruit as you watch monkeys scamper and rain clouds roll by. Rooms are spacious, breakfast rocks (included!), and the staff actually listens to your broken Tagalog. Pro tip: Ask them to book you a floating river tour and try their grilled seafood later. How to Get Around & More 🛵 Rent a scooter for a few hundred PHP — the easiest way to see forest, river, and town on your own. Resort can arrange local tours too. 🍴 Must-Eat: Resort breakfast is fresh and photogenic; dinner by the river, order the grilled squid or local adobo. 💸 Bring enough cash — some attractions are cash-only, and ATMs are rare. 🌦️ Weather flips quickly (sunny to rainy fast), so pack a poncho or light jacket. #BoholAdventure #LobocRiverResort #ManMadeForest #TarsierSpotting #PhilippinesTravel
