As others would often say: save the best for last! Yes, I placed the Island Hopping on our last full day in Bohol and it surely did not disappoint!
We booked our boat via Kuya Tatsky's tour services since I did not know our
hotel offers the same at a lower price. Plus, no need to travel to Alona Beach as the hotel has its own mini docking port. Well, charge to experience
nalang!
 |
| Our boat left the Alona Beach at exactly 6:00AM in our attempt to see the Dolphins! |
 |
| And the lovely fishes gave a nice show that morning! We're lucky bees! |
 |
| Since we left the hotel so early that day, we weren't able to eat breakfast at all. So we were hoping to eat at Balicasag Beach to no avail. There was a small stall there but the food was crazy expensive - Php 300 (USD 6) for tocilog? Nevermind! |
They also have snorkeling and fish feeding activities at separate (additional) fees so my Boyfriend and I just decided to walk around the island.
 |
| The sand is white but a little bit rocky. You'll need to wear slippers / aqua shoes to protect your feet. |
 |
| Nevertheless, the view is pretty! |
 |
| Next Stop: Virgin Island |
This is our personal favorite! The water is so clear and the sand bar looks amazing! We don't mind sitting and walking around despite the killing rays of the sun!
There were small stalls in the island selling fresh buko juice, banana cue and sea urchins. They were a bit expensive than if you are in land, but so much affordable than those Php 300 tocilog :-P Some will also try to sell pearl jewelries, and can get a bit pushy and aggressive at times. Just politely say no and walk away! Island Hopping only lasted until noon time and then we saw ourselves heading back to Alona Beach just in time for lunch.

| Lunch at Jazz Restaurant, Alona Beach |
 |
| While my Mom and Brother walked around to buy some souvenir items, my Boyfriend and I stayed at Bohol Bee Farm-Alona for some quiet time! |
 |
| My Mom and I ordered this sticky rice with chocolate batirol syrup for merienda. Nothing spectacular though, you may opt to order something else instead. |
 |
| Couple's Favourite again! I can eat this forever! |
|
 |
| We asked our driver to pick us up at Guiseppe Pizzeria. Brought home these take out goodies for our last dinner in Bohol! |
On our last day, the power all over Bohol went down but the hotel's generator kept the aircon and water heater functional. We had breakfast and some pool dipping before we prepare to leave this mini haven of ours for the past 4 days.
 |
| See you next time, Bohol! 😀 |
