Kayaking in Bohol
 Kayaking in Bohol There is a sense of freedom renting your own kayak and explore the neighboring sites around Bohol. It is an eye-opening experience to explore the warm, open waters and discover surreal caves and pristine sandy beaches, without the time constraint of being under a boat-tour schedule. The Department of Tourism is boosting this sport and had set their goal to make Kayaking as a premier activity on the island and all over the country, and mainly to become the top Kayaking capital of Southeast Asia. The Philippines being an archipelago of 7,107 islands the possibilities of kayaking adventures are endless. Kayaking is an eco-sport and is perfect for our natural assets being surrounded by oceans, seas, rivers, marshes, mangroves and 30,000 wonderful coastlines. That being said, Bohol has hosted a Tour Event, the Cebu-Bohol Island Crossing. It is held during December. One does  not need to be in tour participant to witness this magical adventure of this raw sport and be bombarded by a unique sensual experience welcoming the secrets of nature that can only be enjoyed as one cruise along leisurely on the shorelines, and while watching the changing seascapes as it slowly uncovers the different personalities of the islands.
Here are some of the adventures they have tackled in the tour but can be enjoyed on day trips, too. First choice for your Kayaking trip could be kayaking along the Olango’s Shoreline, watching all the dotting migratory birds and cruise down to Banacon’s lush mangrove forest. This tour ends at the two-faced Pandanon Island, which shows both the tranquility of a secluded haven and excitement of an overpopulated community. Your second trip of choice could be kayaking under the moonlit sky and with the moon’s reflection smoothly spread on the calm surface, marvel at the living lights that jump from tree to tree, invoking the warmth of the season. Even on a moonless sky, you can kayak around the island of Jau, Talibon and be guided by the natural glow made by the disturbed planktons, a light source that local fishermen have been using ever since. Or lastly, just cruise along the magnificent coastline of Panglao Island.
