A worthwhile experience, it felt like you traveled back in time. The church was well-preserved and is open to the public. The kids enjoyed the visit and were creeped by the experience - especially seeing old life-sized statues of saints etc. - which are barely seen in churches we now have. Visitors should be well covered during the visit. No... More

I've been there once, February 2010, It was an amazing experience for me. The people are also nice. :D If you plan to travel here, it would be better if you rent a van for the whole day. It would be ranging from $15-$25 depending on the time of the year. There are a lot of things to see and... More

If, like me, you've done the requisite Bohol Tour (Chocolate Hills, Loboc RIver, Tarsiers and then some) and have wondered what else Bohol has to offer, Biyahe Baclayon is for you. Each of the activities has been thought out to benefit the community and promote sustainable tourism, which is why I am glad to support it 100%. Dolphin Watching -... More

Waking up at 5am was totally worth it . We were the first boat out at sea and we saw hundreds of dolphins; even spinners and Risso's! Then we landed in Pamilacan Island and the snorkeling was just fantastic! Afterwards, we booked a massage with the locals by the beach. No, it's not going to be on the sand excuse... More

It was my second time in Bohol and I wasn't exactly sure if there was a lot more to see apart from the always beautiful beaches and tarsiers and chocolate hills. But Baclayon surprised me with the sheer number of enjoyable adventures to be had -- from driving a buggy up forest trails while a guide told me about the... More

Baclayon is the place to go if it is your first time going to Bohol. The town is laid back, scenic and offers a lot of sight seeing attractions for the first time traveller to Bohol. Baclayon Church is it's most famous tourist spot and Pamilacan Island is the best place to spend a day in a beach. There's also... More

Dolphin and Whale Watching: The pod of doplhins we saw was worth our time and efforts to wake up at dawn and be on the boat at 6am to travel to Pamilacan Island. A pod of dolphins, unabashedly swam alongside the boat, leaped and spun to our delight. Our 9 year old son was so ecstatic watching them, sleek and... More

From the time I arrived in Baclayon I can't help but reminisce my first time being there which was years back. It was a nostalgic feeling I must say, and what helped me make it through was the kind of activities that the Municipal Tourism Office offers. I, with a group of friends wasn't really tourists who came for a... More

I have gone to Bohol many times from the United States. Baclayon does not fail to make me want to go back again, and again and again. It truly feels like my 2nd home. They have beautiful ancestral houses where in they converted to a bed and breakfast all over the town. They sell beef on a stick that they... More
