About the trip

For just over two wonderful weeks, you will experience two of the lesser-known diving destinations in the Philippines. Southern Leyte and Anda on the island of Bohol have both started to become more and more popular but far from as big destinations and touristy as the country's most famous places. Here you start with a recharge night in Manila at an airport hotel and then fly on to Southern Leyte. Beautiful reefs, small family accommodation and very good diving. Macro, walls and coral reefs with a chance to see large animals sometimes. The resort is small but has become a real draw for the region as diving here has been discovered by more and more people.

After the first week, there will be a one-day transfer to the neighboring island of Bohol and here you will land at a slightly larger but still small resort with a higher standard. Here you have a pool, relaxation and can really enjoy yourself and the New Year's weekend here will certainly be very lovely. Here you will find beautiful coral gardens, wall diving and a very rich marine life. Almost anything can pass here, as there are plenty of whales and dolphins in the Bohol Sea, for example. Turtles and smaller sharks are also seen regularly. 

Bohol also has a lot to offer on land, for example you can take a day trip to Chocolate Hills, man made forrest, Loboc River, Butterfly farm and Tarsier (Ghost animal) sanctuary. There really is a lot here for non-divers and if you are, for example, a family, the relative peace and quiet of the first week here can quickly change to days filled with experiences. Of course, the pool becomes a natural gathering place after the day's diving and the occasional refreshing drink can be enjoyed when the sun goes down.
