Scenic Bohol Candijay Tour with Private Driver-Guide

Carved into the hillsides, the terraces form layers of rice paddies that change color with the seasons—from lush green during planting to golden yellow at harvest. A local guide accompanies you on a short trek through the fields leading to a small hill, where the best views of the terraces can be seen. The area offers a glimpse into the region’s farming traditions and provides a peaceful setting for appreciating the countryside.

The restaurant offers a selection of local dishes and refreshments, with meals paid for separately so you can choose what they want to order. It also features a relaxing view of the surrounding rice terraces, making it a comfortable stop to rest and enjoy a meal before continuing the tour.

From Eleuterio’s Restaurant, you’ll ride a habal-habal with your tourist driver to the falls’ drop-off point. A local guide then leads a short walk to the waterfall itself. Surrounded by lush greenery, the falls have a wide, cool basin where visitors can relax, take photos, or swim in the refreshing waters. The ride, guided walk, and time at the falls together create a simple yet memorable countryside experience.

On your way back to the hotel, you’ll stop here for a light afternoon snack featuring sikwate, a rich hot chocolate made from local cacao, paired with kakanins such as puto maya (sticky rice cooked with coconut milk and ginger), suman budbud (sticky rice cakes), and sapin-sapin. With its simple seaside setting, Painitan sa Baybay offers a relaxed atmosphere and a taste of local food culture before you head back to your hotel.
