Bohol, as we all know, is a popular tourist destination all over the world because of its natural beauty and white sand beaches. Surely, we are all familiar with what are these spots in Bohol, right?

A little thing about Binabaje Hills
One of these spots is the Binabaje Hills which is located in the municipality of Alicia. This was discovered a year ago if I'm not mistaken. Numbers of major events such as trail run took part in this place.
Binabaje Hills is actually in our wish list. I conquered Binabaje with Char, Cherry, John, Rell, Lin and her cousin. Basically, Char, Cherry, Rell and John went to Bohol together while Lin and her cousin followed on the next day.

About our Laag
The funny part of this trip was that, there was no serious plan, no itinerary at all and we did not even made any advance research on where to go and what are the means of transportation in going to Alicia and etc.
Rell and I are purely from Bohol but the same with the others, it was also our first time going to Binabaje. To be honest, I haven't explored Bohol much yet, I only saw Chocolate Hills once lol, "mas suhito pa kos Cebu kaysa Bohol". Lol

As soon as we reached Bohol, we travelled directly to my hometown, Bien Unido. And since we had no idea on how to go to Alicia or what is the departure time of the buses going there, we took advantage on asking manong tricycle driver and luckily we got the most important information in going to Binabaje. Thanks kyah!! We stayed overnight in our place in Brgy. Mandawa, Bien Unido located right next to the municipality of Talibon.
On the second day of our silly adventure
The next morning, we have to wake up as early as 3am to prepare ourselves and for us to catch the 6am bus going to Alicia from the municipality of Trinidad. We were planning to walk (well we have no option but to walk) from our place going to Trinidad since there was no tricycle yet as early as that time. Then luckily, there was a tricycle heading to Talibon, Kuya driver was on his way to work, we asked kya if we can hitch a ride going to Trinidad which he agreed. We arrived at Trinidad an hour earlier so we waited for the bus until it arrived at 0630 am.
Everyone was very excited in conquering Binabaje Hills. "Dili tanto". Lol! We also met Lin and her cousin in Ubay Bus Terminal. I want to say thank you btw to Ms. Jovilyn (a high school classmate of mine) for helping and providing her cousin's contact number who fetch us from the highway going to the jump off of Binabaje Hills.
Binabaje Hills, is indeed spectacular. I’m not going to say more about it since the photos below will tell you how beautiful this place is.
Everyone had a great experience but sadly we weren't able to go to Candijay as what we agreed because we need to go back to Cebu that afternoon. Supposedly, the plan was to book a ticket for 10pm trip going to Cebu via Roro in Talibon, however, it was already fully booked so we have no choice but to go back and go to Tubigon.

Nonetheless, "bisan na drawing ang Candijay", still we totally enjoyed our little adventure in Bohol. And I was also happy that I was able to conquer Binabaje before going to Baguio.
How to get there?
Via Tagbilaran
Going to Alicia via Tagbilaran is kinda expensive, I'm not discouraging this option but if you have plans to visit into different spots before Alicia then this option may be good for you.
Via Ubay
This might be the perfect option since Ubay is the closest municipality in Alicia. You can reach Ubay via G&N ferry, for further information about G&N trip you may search it in the internet or visit their ticketing booth in Terminal 2 (pier 3).
Via Tubigon
Still, it’s kinda far from Alicia but at least it may save some penny compared to via Tagbilaran. There's a fastcraft (Starcraft) going to Tubigon hourly so nothing to worry.
Via Talibon
This is also a good option since Talibon is not that far from Alicia. There's M/V Roro that will depart 10 pm daily.
Surely, there are no laws that would prevent you from doing something or fun activities as long as you do not disturb others or hurt nature and environment, Right?
Enjoy your trip and let your worries go away even just for a day!
