You start the day at the foot of conical limestone mounds, dust rising as ATVs whisper and rumble into motion. Green domes roll away in every direction — the Chocolate Hills lay out like an otherworldly field of geological punctuation. The afternoon brings a slow river cruise, a buffet on a floating restaurant and close-up encounters with the island’s most famous small resident, the Philippine tarsier.
