Chocolate Hills Adventure: ATV, Pangas Falls & Loboc Zipline Day Tour
Ride ATVs around the Chocolate Hills, cool off at Pangas Falls, visit the tarsiers, and fly a zipline over Loboc River—all in one action-packed day. This practical guide tells you what to expect, what to bring, and how to plan your day on Bohol’s most varied adventure loop.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
ATV trails are dusty and uneven; closed-toe shoes protect your feet from mud, brush, and hot footpegs.
Bring a quick-dry change of clothes
You’ll want dry clothes after Pangas Falls and after the ATV if dust gets into your layers.
Carry insect repellent
Riverbanks and shaded trails attract mosquitoes—repellent helps keep the trip comfortable.
Confirm weight and age limits
Zipline operators enforce limits for safety; ask beforehand to avoid surprises.
