Cool spot with amazing animals. Shocked to see how small are in person. Small entrance fee that goes towards the upkeep of the sanctuary. Staff had to run around and shush kids that were rowdy since their parents didn't tell them to be quiet. "FACE TO FACE" with a TARSIER! What an amazing experience. This small offers the opportunity to see in very distance. I really recommend you to be there when they open. So that you are within the first group. With luck your group is small. A will you through and will help to spot and to get good pictures. It's only a very max 500m but we saw 4 of them. So all our expectations are exceeded. The is placed in pure Nature they don't have a restaurant or cafe bar. A bottle of water and some souvenirs you can get. Summary, if you are an animal lover who wants to watch animals in freedom and Nature then this is the place to be. And with the entrance fee you support the work of the sanctuary. Check hours and make sure you have plenty enough time to do the tour. Observe rules and Observe silence. Kudos to the foundation for ensuring the safe for the tarsiers. A nice but informative eco tour. Entry fee is very low and goes towards a very good conservation project. Make sure to visit this one and not one of those exhibition in cages. in captivity can feel stressed and commit suicide. A very unique and cool in Bohol. You watch a 5 minute video about the and then take a with a guide. He leads you around the enclosure which is also their natural habitat. We got to see 3 up close without disturbing them as they’re nocturnal. The information centre is also a nice space to spend some time and read all about these interesting creatures. You won’t spend a lot of time inside the maybe only 10 minutes but it’s enough to see them and for the to take some super cool photos. We visited the Philippine Tarsier in Bohol as a family—my wife, our baby, and my mom " senior citizen" and had a great experience. The is well maintained, and the walking path is easy and accessible, even for older visitors. We spotted around 6 during our visit, and it was truly special to see them up close in their natural habitat. The staff were helpful and respectful of the tarsiers’ space. A peaceful, educational, and memorable stop—definitely worth it! Loved it! The live in their natural and the guides go find them each morning. We got to see 3, up close, without bothering them. The was awesome, and took many photos and videos for us. Lovely and well mantained. The tour is really and the put pressure on you to finish it, we did it twice (you can do the same just kindly ask). Would allow people to be a bit more free around the field and spend some time with the lovely tarsier, apart from that lovely and glad that people take care of this endemic species We visited the Bohol Tarsier with our two girls. It was a nice to see these adorable little creatures up close. You through a quiet area with a and get to see about four resting in the trees. It’s great for a quick photo opportunity, but the whole only takes max around 30 minutes. There were quite a few people there, and we wished we could have seen more or had a bit more interaction. Still, it's worth a visit if you're in the area. Got some amazing photos and videos!! Only saw 3 tarsiers, the tour was quite short, but the quality was amazing! The facilities could do with some updating for educational purposes, but not bad at all for 150 pesos❤️❤️I love tarsierss If you want to know more about & their habitat, it is good to go here. Tarsiers are pocket-sized nocturnal animals that feed on insects & small vertebrates. It was a very cool experience. I felt like I was out in the wild, really getting to see in their natural habitat. Before the actual walk, they also gave an orientation about the tarsiers. The Philippine Tarsier is a truly ethical attraction. Every day, tarsier spotters go out to identify where the animals are resting so visitors can later to those spots — the organization doesn’t disrupt or move the just to put them on display. You’ll see the up close, as there are no railings separating you from them. They were absolutely adorable with their big glassy eyes, and most importantly, they looked very healthy — which reassures you that you’re supporting an ethical attraction. I highly recommend visiting here instead of the other popular tarsier site (which I won’t name, just in case this review gets flagged). That other place felt too commercialized and touristy. The there seemed stressed, and I even noticed man-made “nests,” which made me wonder if the animals were just placed there for visitors to see.
