Bohol is a unique place that has its very own language. The Boholano dialect is a separate language from the ones Cebuanos use. It is a rip off of the Cebuano but characterizes some differences. There are a couple of phonetic distinctions in the Boholano dialect that makes it distinctive from Cebuano. The Boholano dialect, in all its pureness can be heard in far-flung areas of Bohol. In the city area, especially in Tagbilaran, the language is almost interchangeable with the Cebuano language. There are also other parts of Bohol, aside from Tagbilaran, that uses Cebuano. It would be quite difficult, even for an all-knowing tourist to spot the difference, thus, you will have the impression that the locals speak one and the same dialect

Dolphin Watching at Alona Beach

Another key attraction in Bohol is dolphin watching. Sure, tourists might have seen dolphins in captivity, however, seeing them in the wild showing you their best acrobatics as free creatures is a sight to be seen. The jump off point is at Alona Beach in the early hours of the morning since they forage early in the day. The dolphin hunting grounds are a bit of a distance from the beach.
