A trip to Bohol is never complete without seeing the Chocolate Hills. Been here before but for my kid's sake, I have to go up all the way again and have a photo session with him and explain how come its called Chocolate Hills. When we arrived it was slightly raining. Since the steps already has roof above it, its... More

A trip to Bohol is never complete unless you take the drive to the Chocoloate hills. The place is amazing! There are several hundred small hills in the area but the best place to go and see them are in this small quiet town. Quiet until the tourist arrive for the day. The car drives you up hill about half... More

great view for photos and some interesting info from guides, but it was HOT and there's a good hike to the vantage point, so be warned if you have small ones or senior citizens with you!

The choclate hills is bohol's greatest pride. You won't see anything like it; hundreds of hills formed perfectly and turns brown during the summer. Its best to go there during the afternoon when its not that sunny anymore because you'll be climbing the "stairway to heaven." literally. But you could always ride a motorcycle and take a shortcut. When you... More

I wouldnt go to Bohol just to see the chocolate hills, but as part of the tourist trip around seeing the old churches and Tarsiers etc it is well worth seeing . Food and other service are good and the climb up to the top of the mountain has hand rails etc , I enjoyed going there

From Alona beach it will take you 1hour and a half. 250 steps later you have a nice view on these hills. To be honest, it is nice but not breathtaking..if you have nothing to do you can go... But you just stay 10minutes take some pictures and then go. Entrance is 50pesos

The Chocolate Hills are beautiful and well worth a visit for anyone staying on Bohol, however you get so much more out of your trip if you take one of the charming motorcycle drivers up on their offers of a tour round the more rural hills away from the main torist site. Once away from all the other tourists there... More

The Chocolate Hills are a truly fascinating place. The hills look man-made, but they are definitely a work of nature. Due to high rainfall in March, the hills were green and not 'chocolate'. Driving from Alona Beach to the Chocolate Hills is interesting, as you see the hills all around you. I don't remember if there is an entrance fee,... More

These lovely green and brown cone-shaped karst hills are Bohol common landscape and you can find them all over the island - about over a thousand of them. The locals believed that there is a legend related to these hill formations.
