Corella Tarsier Sanctuary
Corella is one of the easiest worthwhile detours off the standard Bohol countryside loop: an inland municipality northeast of Tagbilaran whose main draw is the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary in Canapnapan. Most visitors pair it with Loboc, the Chocolate Hills or Baclayon rather than travelling there on its own, which is exactly why a private vehicle helps — the day can bend around the stops you actually want instead of a fixed group-tour sequence.
Good to know
- Corella is a landlocked interior municipality of Bohol, northeast of Tagbilaran City, and its official tourism page notes that it was formerly called Nug-as before becoming a regular municipality in 1884.
- The Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary in Barangay Canapnapan is Corella’s headline stop, dedicated to the protection and conservation of the endemic Philippine tarsier.
- Bohol tourism also highlights the Corella Church of Nuestra Senora del Villar, a heritage and pilgrimage stop with a spacious garden, close enough to pair naturally with the sanctuary.
- Green Thumb Farm in Barangay Sambog gives the town a second, more food-led reason to stop, with organic mushroom dishes marketed as a local speciality.
What we quote for
- A Corella stop folded into a full countryside day with the tarsier sanctuary, Loboc, the Chocolate Hills or Baclayon
- A timed pickup and return for travellers who only want the sanctuary, the church or Green Thumb Farm
- Pickups from Panglao, Tagbilaran or anywhere else you are staying, with the vehicle waiting while you explore
We do not publish a price list. Every trip is priced on its own — the vehicle, the stops, the timing — and the number we send you is the number you pay.
Planning notes
- Corella works best as part of a private countryside loop rather than as a stand-alone transfer, so tell us the other stops you want and we will quote the whole shape in one go.
- The sanctuary is listed by Bohol tourism at km 14, Canapnapan, Corella — useful detail to include if you are comparing it with other inland stops on the same day.
- If you want to combine the tarsier stop with the church or Green Thumb Farm, say whether you want a quick look or enough time for lunch so the waiting plan matches the day you actually want.

Corella: questions we get asked
The things people ask before they send a quote request. If yours is not here, put it in the message box and we will answer it with your price.
Can Corella be added to the usual Chocolate Hills and Loboc countryside day?
Yes. That is the most natural way to do it. Corella sits inland northeast of Tagbilaran and the tarsier sanctuary is already one of the classic countryside stops, so we usually quote it as part of the same private loop rather than as an isolated transfer.
Is Corella only worth it for the tarsier sanctuary?
No. The sanctuary is the main reason people go, but Bohol tourism also points visitors to the Corella Church of Nuestra Senora del Villar and to Green Thumb Farm in Sambog for its organic mushroom dishes. If you want a countryside day with one or two quieter heritage or food stops, Corella gives you that shape.
Can you take us just to the sanctuary and back?
Yes. We can quote a simple timed pickup, waiting time on site, and the return to Panglao, Tagbilaran or another Bohol stop. If it is part of a longer day, include the other places in the same enquiry so the vehicle plan covers the whole route.
Are sanctuary or attraction fees part of the transport quote?
No. Anything charged by the sanctuary, church museum or a food stop is paid on site to the operator. The quote we send is for the vehicle, driver and waiting plan built around the route you describe.
