    Your Travel Guide & Tips

    • Transportation: From Tagbilaran City, take a bus headed to Carmen from the Integrated Bus Terminal. Ask the driver to drop you off at the Chocolate Hills complex. If you prefer comfort, a private taxi or Grab/hired van is recommended for the roughly 2-hour drive.
    • Local Food: Don’t leave without trying Calamay, a sticky, sweet Boholano delicacy, and Kinilaw (local ceviche) from the nearby local eateries in Carmen.

    • Best Time to Visit: November to April (Dry Season) offers the most reliable weather for trekking the hills. If you visit in May, you might catch the vibrant Chocolate Hills Festival.
    • Pro Tip: Pack a power bank and download offline maps. Signal in the mountains can be intermittent, making it the perfect excuse for a digital detox.

    Suggested 2-Day “Nature & Wonder” Itinerary

    • Day 1: Arrive in Carmen by noon. Check into the park, grab a local lunch nearby, and spend the afternoon hiking the Chocolate Hills trail. Catch the sunset at the viewing deck.
    • Day 2: Early morning photo session at the hills. Rent a motorbike to visit the Bilar Man-Made Forest and the Tarsier Sanctuary, then head back to the city or proceed to Panglao for the beaches.

    Don’t Miss Out (FOMO Alert)

    The most magical photos of the Chocolate Hills are taken at 6:00 AM, before the tour buses from Panglao arrive. If you stay anywhere else, you will miss that serene, misty, once-in-a-lifetime light. By the time you travel from the beach to the hills, the sun is already high, and the magic is diluted by hundreds of other tourists. Book your stay at The Acacia Glamping Park to own that hour.
