We visited the Tarsier Sanctuary on May 25, 2025, and it was one of the most peaceful, memorable parts of our Bohol trip. Nestled in a quiet forested area, the sanctuary is home to the Philippine tarsier, one of the world’s smallest primates with large, soulful eyes and a calm, curious demeanor.
A short walking trail winds through the trees, where attentive guides help you spot the tarsiers resting quietly in their natural habitat. They’re sensitive to light and noise, so everything is kept calm and respectful. Flash photography is not allowed, and talking is kept to a whisper.
The visit takes around 30 to 45 minutes and offers a quiet break from the busier tourist spots. It’s a great way to learn about this endangered species and support conservation efforts. If you’re in Bohol, make sure to include this peaceful sanctuary on your list.
