While Bohol is often associated with its famous Chocolate Hills and Panglao beaches, the quieter eastern town of Anda offers a completely different kind of escape — one that blends panoramic landscapes, waterfalls, rice terraces, caves, and local cultural traditions into a truly immersive island experience.
A perfect day in Anda begins before the crowds arrive. At Alicia Panoramic 360 View, an early-morning hike with a private guide rewards guests with breathtaking views over the Bohol Sea, rolling hills, and the dramatic coastline of eastern Bohol. As the sun rises, the landscape transforms into a spectacular canvas of light and color, making it one of the region’s most memorable experiences.
From there, travelers can continue to the majestic Can-umantad Waterfall, the tallest waterfall in Bohol, hidden among lush tropical vegetation and natural pools ideal for a refreshing swim. The waterfall feels like a discovery entirely your own. Nearby, the stunning Cadapdapan Rice Terraces showcase the agricultural beauty of the island, with layered green fields stretching across the hillsides and offering excellent opportunities for photography and gentle countryside walks.
For those seeking a deeper cultural connection, the Lamanok Mystique Tour reveals the fascinating legends, ancient rituals, cave formations, and spiritual traditions that have shaped local life in Anda for generations. The experience provides a rare glimpse into Bohol’s lesser-known heritage and adds a meaningful cultural dimension to the journey.
Adventure lovers can also explore Cabagnaw Cave Pool, a hidden freshwater cave pool surrounded by limestone formations and crystal-clear water. Whether you jump from the limestone ledge or just wade in and look around, Cabagnaw is the kind of place most visitors to Bohol never find.
All of these experiences can be conveniently combined within Anda and its surrounding eastern Bohol area, making the destination ideal for travelers who want to enjoy sunrise viewpoints, waterfalls, rice terraces, cave adventures, and authentic local culture without the crowds of the island’s more developed tourist centers.
At the end of the day, Amun Ini Beach Resort and Sp is waiting. A small property with a limited number of ocean-view rooms, somewhere to rest, breathe, and watch the Bohol Sea from your own private corner of the island.

Anda is the kind of place that reminds you why you travel in the first place, active, unhurried, and completely off the radar. Most people have never heard of it. The ones who go leave wondering why it took them so long. Plan your visit at sales.philippines@khiri.com.
