Bohol Island Excursions

The second week of our vacation we travelled from the island of Cebu to Bohol. We stayed at a small resort on Panglao island. It was beautiful in Bohol and one of the best parts of our trip. Our second day we took an island tour to all the popular tourist sites.

The Tarsier is one of the smallest monkeys in the world. So cute!

We could just reach out and touch them...but watch out they bite!Our first time on a Zipline - over the Loboc River valley. It was really scary but so much Fun!

Cyril and Mateya on the way back.

Jaidyn and I flying high.

After the zipline we took a cable car ride over the valley. Holton liked it but we thought the zipline was more fun!The view of the Loboc valley from the cable car. We were very high up!

Going to lunch at the floating restaurant along the Loboc river.

Along the river was lush and green. It was really beautiful.

Enjoying the music on the river cruise.We stopped at a local village for a photo opportunity. The money raised goes to improve their way of life.
Learning about butterflies and moths at the Butterfly Sanctuary.
Touching the cocoons.

Playing with butterflies.The Chocolate Hills in Bohol. In the summer months they are brown so they look like chocolate chips or Hershey kisses .

All of us at the Chocolate Hills.Although we live in Alberta and have been around horses alot it wasn't until we travelled half way around the world that we all rode a horse for the first time. We went for an hour long trail ride. It had rained a lot earlier in the day so the trails were muddy and slippery. I was really scared the horse would slip and we would fall but we all made it safely back. I was so relieved when it was finally over!

Holton riding a horse for the first time. I ended up riding with him.
Mateya enjoyed her first horseback ride but had a hard time controlling her horse.
Jaidyn thought the trail ride was awesome and loved her horse who even galloped for her.
Holton and I ready to go.Cyril's first time on a horse. His horse didn't cooperate with him and he was also happy when it was over. We both weren't meant to be cowboys!
After the trail ride we stopped at a mall to get a few things before went back to our hotel for dinner.
