The Experience

Before You Go

Bring quick-dry layers

Clothes that dry fast are essential after the Pangas waterfall and muddy ATV sections; avoid cotton.

Secure your electronics

Use a small dry bag or waterproof case—ATV dust and waterfall spray are common.

Mind the Tarsier rules

Follow guide instructions: no flash photography, keep distance and low noise to avoid stressing the animals.

Plan for heat and sun

Start early and carry sunscreen and a hat—midday sun is intense on exposed viewpoints.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Roadside local eateries near the Chocolate Hills serving fresh coconut and grilled seafood
  • A quiet viewpoint off the main deck where the hills look more dispersed at sunrise

Wildlife

  • Philippine tarsier
  • Long-tailed macaque

Conservation Note

Tarsier sanctuaries limit visitor numbers and enforce quiet viewing—respecting those rules reduces stress on the species; stick to trails to prevent erosion around fragile karst formations.

The Chocolate Hills are uplifted marine limestone shaped by erosion over thousands of years; the hills and nearby settlements reflect centuries of Visayan culture and Spanish-era influences.
