Bohol is said to be the only place in the world where the surprisingly cute big-eyed Tarsier animals can be seen in the wild and not in a zoo. We don't know about the rest of the world, but it's really the only place in the Philippines. These animals are threatened with extinction due to human activity, and can not live near civilization even in ideal natural conditions. The fact is that they can not stand the noise and sharply changing colors, and because of this they commit suicide, dropping from a height.
One of the best places in Bohol to see them is the Tarsier Sanctuary in Corella. It is located on the territory of 10 hectares, and this is a real rain forest, where animals live in natural conditions. But tourists are shown in a relatively small fenced area, which, to be honest, can hardly be called a natural habitat. Tarsiers sit in trees, and near each stands a caretaker who shows where to look. Usually in the zone for tourists there are 3-4 animals, no more. When examining, you need to observe silence, you can not use a flash. For shooting, it is better to use a long-focus lens (with zoom), otherwise good photos will not work. There are no other animals here, so it will take 15-20 minutes to visit. At the entrance to the territory there is a small Information Center.
Honestly, the impressions of visiting this place remain twofold. On the one hand, you will see these rare animals with your own eyes. But on the other hand, during the day they sleep, do not move, and look just like plush toys planted on trees, which is not much different from a tourist attraction or a zoo. If you want to get a real impression of watching the tarsiers and their life, it is best to buy a night safari tour in Alona Beach, which costs from 2000 pesos per person.

🚶 How to get there: there are actually several places where you can see tarsiers on Bohol, but the most popular is the Tarsier Sanctuary. It is 30 kilometers from Alona Beach (nature reserves on the map). You can get here with an excursion, by rented transport or taxi, but you can also quite budget yourself. To do this, from Alona beach or other beaches you need to take a jeep for 25 pesos to the main bus station in Tagbilaran Dao Integrated Terminal on the outskirts of the city next to the Island City Mall (bus station on the map). From there to the city of Sikatuna (Sikatuna), Loboc (Loboc) and others in this direction there are frequent buses, the cost is up to 50 pesos (0.87 USD).
After visiting the reserve, you can continue the route further on the same buses to the Chocolate Hills and other attractions.
