The Philippines is an amazing tourist destination, well known for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear water. Out of more than 7,000 Philippines islands, Bohol is one of the most visited ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bohol is mostly famous for the Chocolate Hills but there are some other awesome places on the island which are worth visiting too. If you have time head to the Man Made Forest<\/strong><\/a>, explore Alona Beach<\/strong><\/a>, admire the Dimiao Twin Falls<\/strong><\/a> or cross the Sipatan Twin Hanging Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also known as Tigbao Hanging Bridge, the Twin Hanging Bridge or simply as the Bambo Hanging Bridge of Bohol, this is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island<\/strong><\/a>. In this guide, we’ll talk about everything you need to know before visiting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. What to expect at Twin Hanging Bridge Bohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you need to know is that there are actually two bridges, one for each direction. You’ll cross one bridge and come back on the other. However, people still refer to these bridges as singular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bridges cross the Sipatan River, the same river where tens of cruises carry curious tourists daily (check out more about the Loboc River Cruise here<\/strong><\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view is pretty incredible. The Bohol Hanging Bridge is surrounded by lush greenery. I must say – the place is pretty crowded with tourists, both locals and foreigners. If you want to have the place to yourself, make sure to be there early in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first arrived at the Hanging Bridge in Bohol, my first impression was that it doesn’t look safe. I had these 40-meter long bamboo bridges in front of my eyes with around 40-50 people crossing them. It looked sketchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the bridges are safe. Sometimes you can see small motorcycles crossing them. Even though the bridges have become a tourist attraction, locals still use them to cross the Sipatan River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry if the bridges are slowly bouncing when you’re crossing them. The support cables are made of steel and they’re safe. Enjoy the experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near the Bohol Bamboo Bridge, you can find lots of stores selling snacks and refreshments. If you’re thirsty, get a fresh coconut!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you’re still in Bohol, take an island hopping tour<\/strong><\/a> and admire the dolphins, swim with the turtles, and visit the beautiful Virgin Island<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
