In our ongoing quest to make travel throughout the Philippines a painless enjoyable experience, today I thought I’d blog about How to get from Manila to Bohol. Bohol…. heart of the Philippines! adventure island! tropical paradise!!!
But…. how in the world do I get there?!
If it’s your first time planing a trip somewhere, I know it can get a little daunting – The good news is, it’s actually very easy to get to Bohol. Below is everything you need to know to get out and explore Bohol!
Getting to Bohol from Manila
Since your already in Manila, your best option is by airplane. Although there is a ferry that can take you from Manila to Tagbilaran (Tagbilaran is the capital city of the province of Bohol) I would only recommend attempting this if you are:
a) On a tight budget
b) A hardy adventurer

From Manila, simply fly into Tagbilaran Airport.
Cebu Pacific Air using Airbus A319 has two flights daily, Philippine Airlines using Airbus A320 has three flights daily, Zest Airways using Airbus A320 has one flight daily plus an additional flight every Tue/Wed/Sat.
Keep in mind the number of flights, and the flight schedules do often change. It’s also worth mentioning that If you are in Manila, you can also go to Cebu by air, and then continue by boat. For more information on this, check my “how to get from Cebu to Bohol” blogpost.
Finally, I’d like to add that the air travel industry has been offering great seat sales these last few years. It’s always worth checking now and again for seat sales even if you don’t have any plans to travel.
Mabuhay, and see you in Bohol!
