2025 Loon Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#celebratewithtrip The province of Bohol is composed of 47 municipalities and 1 city. And each place is something worth to share and explore. The Municipality of Loon, located on the western side of the island, is more that what meets the eye. Once featured in ABS-CBN’s Rated K, this road going to Sandingan Island in the Municipality of Loon will bring you flashback of failed love and embittered lines. Known as Loon’s Hugot Road, Tajang Bridge has almost a hundred on road blocks painted with different colors and punch lines. If you want to move on, just travel to Loon. 😊 #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers

#myperfectstaycation The Cristita Crescent Hill Resort or better known as CCHR is located in Pondol, Loon, in the province of Bohol , Philippines. This hilly resort is surrounded by greens. I love how they shaped their pool into a guitar. They also have a nice restaurant area which serves delicious Filipino food. Birthdays and other celebrations can be held in this place as they have a huge area to cater for events. This resort is newly-opened just a year ago and since its opening, a lot of people have visited this place. For those who want to go on sight-seeing, this place is really great.

#celebratewithtrip Municipality of Loon lies halfway between Tagbilaran and Tubigon, Bohol's major ports of entry, each of which is only 40 minutes away by public utility buses, jeepneys and vans-for-hire that frequently ply the north–south route. Loon has one provincial secondary port and six fishing ports. Loon was among the hardest hit towns in the 2013 Bohol earthquake. About a third of all casualties occurred in this town, and its church, dating from the 1850s, completely razed to the ground
