 Simply Butterfly Conservation Center Bilar is a municipality of central Bohol with about 20,000 people and is located 40 Km from Tagbilaran, over an hour drive from scenic rural countryside. This area of Bohol, Philippines has always been dedicated to conservation of nature and resources. One of the projects is the Simply Butterflies Conservation Center that is home to about 150 species of butterflies. The tropical Philippines have diversity of butterflies and in Bohol alone, there are about 300 species. There is a clear evidence of decline on the population of these exotic creatures and the Simply Butterflies Conservation Center at Bilar, Bohol in Philippines has just done a marvelous job in keeping the butterfly population as stable as possible. This butterfly garden’s principle is to strengthen natural environment for the butterflies, plant research, breed and release into the wild. Without learning the rare butterfly’s host plants and catching them continuously, the end result will be a tremendous loss of its species in the area. Illegal poaching and deforestation are sadly, still expected.
By educating the people and sharing knowledge of how to breed butterflies, the center has built a community of paid breeders in an area with serious lack of employment and income. These breeders work together with the center to ensure butterflies used at the center or the butterfly products that are exported from the island are made from sustainable hand bred sources, not captured from the wild causing damage to the butterfly population. The center also increases the Bilar, Bohol area’s butterfly population by releasing a calculated large number of hand bred butterflies into the wild, only using the surplus for making products to sell.
Visit and come face-to-face with hundreds of exotic beautiful butterflies fluttering around tropical foliage and flowers. Sit and relax, or take a stroll in this garden at Simply Butterflies Conservation Center in Bilar, Bohol Philippines. There will be knowledgeable guides to amuse everyone. Book with us now and do not miss this wonderful activity for the whole family while you are here in Bohol, Philippines.

 Extreme Adventure Tours Danao is a 2-Hour drive, 92 km north-east of Tagbilaran City. It is located amidst a large expanse of mountain ranges cut by the majestic river, Wahig River. The local government of Danao has launched this Tourism project called the Extreme Adventure Tour or E.A.T. Danao Adventure Park. This park is now a place for extreme activities while preserving nature promoting all the eco sports. For those seeking a thrilling experience, this is the place to go in Bohol.
 View from Danao Park's Highest Point The most thrilling activity in the Danao Adventure Park is the canyon swing which is called the Plunge. It’s a 50-meter free fall from the top of the 200-meter high cliff. Then as you hit the end of the rope, you’ll be swinging over the canyon for about 5 minutes until they are able to haul you back up again; while the Sui-slide is the local version for Zipline, a sky ride or a slide for life. Sui-slide is coined from the word, “suis,” the swoosh sound that the cable makes while sliding to the other side. It could also mean for some, a suicidal slide due to their fear of heights. The riders traverse into the edge and slides through the cable for a half kilometer from one mountain to another, just about a minute ride. There is also wall climbing, a bracing climbing adventure using a 7.20m x 2.40m artificial wall with fiber glass holds or grips for hands and feet. With three (3) different boards, one can choose to climb on an Easy, Moderate and Extreme wall. With a climbing gear, a belayer and a master jumper, climbers have all the convenience to hit the highest point. Some other common activities to do in the river are tubing and kayaking. And around the river, one can do some cliff rappelling, root climbing, bouldering and spelunking. Trekking, mountain biking, visiting an organic farm, riding the cable car, buggy rides, swimming, fishing and camping are some of the activities that are more family friendly.
Enjoy nature here at Danao, Bohol. Plan your trip for this exciting and extreme eco-adventure. Book with us now.
