Chocolate Hills Natural Monument, Visayas, Philippines

Amazing natural hills

If you are travelling to Bohol island, this is the only place you must go. Skip other places if you like to spend less money. Tarsier and phyton will pay 100 pesos/person per each location and Loboc river will cost you 850 pesos per person for the boat ride. We were departing from hotel in the Alona beach. They are many local individual travel agent at the beach front. Try to bargain. For the private tour they offer 3500 pesos pls remember this is only for the transportation not including entrance fee. We were able to get 2500 pesos for one day tour. Make sure you get the car you want it. Since we were only 3 person so they gave me toyota vios not a van. The travel time from Alona beach to the chocolate hills was around 2 hours and along the way we noticed they were couple using tricycle also going there. And if you like to spend less money when return to the airport, try using tricycle it costs only 100-150 pesos and only 5-6 minute ride from Alona beach.

    A highlight of our 2 months in the Philippines
    Frankly i don't know what other people have been looking at to be underwhelmed by this spectacle of nature, or maybe they are just a bit dead inside? Could've happily sat and stared at the beautiful scene for hours, if the sheer volume of visitors to the site didn't make doing so somewhat difficult. But who can blame them, i have walked many hills and mountains and i have never seen anything like it! Apparently there is another group of chocolate hills that see less tourists, but we met somebody that had been to these and reported being disappointed by them. I am sure if he had visited this main site he would have been as impressed as we were! If you're in Bohol it would be a shame to miss this, scooter rental is reasonable and the island isn't big. Was a fairly short journey from Loboc. Try to avoid weekends!

    It was a little 'meh'
    If you're from from the North of England I wouldn't class this as a must see. We were allowed to drive up the road before being told we were not allowed to park and therefore had to drive all the way back down to park our car, scooter parking at the top is allowed. There was a free shuttle from the car park to the top. It cost p50 each to visit the sight, be wary as you are paying, lots of people will try to sell you food and drink and its difficult to determine what's going on. It's certainly something I will never see again but we were a little underwhelmed. You can see quite a few different hills and they go on for miles. We visited when the hills were just starting to brown but they still looked nice. The bathroom facilities are ace! Most definitely avoid the restaurant, staff watching youtube on their phones at top volume and slowest service ever.
