The Cave
Of the roughly 1400 caves that you can find in Bohol, none is more famous than Hinagdanan. Its cavern is about 100 meters long with beautiful rock formations. The stalactites and stalagmites stick out from the ceiling and floor of the cave as though trying to meet each other.
One of the most unique feature of the case are the two eye-like holes found in the ceiling of the cave where light comes in. It gives an eerie and beautiful effect. A lot of people have their pictures taken from this area. Electrical lights has been fitted inside to make its visitors appreciate the cave better and also for safety reasons.
Another attraction inside the cave is its lagoon. The lagoon has glimmering greenish surface that came from the limestone at the bottom of the pool. People used to bath in the lagoon but was recently advised not to do so becaust of karst pollutants in the water. And since the water is almost stagnant, it is believed that it is impure.
How to get to Hinagdanan
Hinagdanan Cave is found in Barangay Bingag, Dauis, Panglao Island, which is just a 5-10 minute ride from Tagbilaran City. It is part of the Bohol Tour Packages but you have to check with the operator first because not all include it because it is out of way. You may need to consult your driver to get you here and when you do, you may also want to visit the old church of Dauis.
For the convenience of its visitors, there are stores and a restaurant outside the cave. They sell souvenirs, snacks and whatnots.
