Things to do & places to go in Ubay – Bohol

The town of Ubay in Bohol is known as one of the most progressive towns in the province and is known as an agricultural town. In fact, it is dubbed the Dairy Capital of Bohol.

Their farms and rolling terrain though, give a lot of opportunity for exploration!


Here are some of the places and things you can do in the town of Ubay:


1. Relax at Cambugsay Healing Hills

One of the most scenic places in Ubay which (as its name implies) could heal your heartaches away.

Although an agricultural town, it is not blessed with natural water resource that’s why they have a lot of water reservoirs like this dam.

Beside the dam is a venue for events and catering services managed by the community.

2. Take part in a Forestation Project

Together with the surrounding community, the place is on a mission to turn these barren hills into forests. This action will encourage biodiversity and will benefit the environment as well as the locals greatly.

Going tree planting also means going on a trek!

3. Interact with farm animals at Ubay Stock Farm

This farm is said to be the oldest and largest government livestock facility in the country with an area of 3,600 hectares. Their farm animals range from cows, carabao, horses, chickens, turkeys, ducks, goats, and others.

Aside from seeing farm animals on this farm, you can also try horseback riding. The town has lots of horses and horsemen and seeing young kids riding horses is a norm!

4. Chill & drink buko at the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA)

The town is home to the PCA of Central Visayas. The place doesn’t just serve as an educational place for coconuts but also is a scenic place for picnics!


5. Eat ice cream from the Philippine Carabao Center

The reason why the town is the Dairy Capital of Bohol is because of its Carabao Centre which produces dairy products like ice cream, chocobao, pastries, and even soaps and other products. And their ice cream is a must-try!


The Carabaos are free to roam around the wide area of Ubay Stock Farm, and are guided to a shed for milking daily.

6. Swim beside Floating Cottages

Another place that I like is Sinandigan Beach. They have floating cottages that you can stand by while you are swimming.


7. Have a sip of Bugnay Wine

The town has a vibrant market and sells a lot of crops and products at a reasonable cost. One thing you should try is Wild Bugnay Wine. This is a red wine made from the local version of blueberries.

How to go to UBAY from Tagbilaran

Going to Ubay is easy. If on a commute, there are hourly Buses and Vans at Tagbilaran Dao Bus Terminal. Going there will take around 3 hours with 150-200 pesos fare. A popular way to go around the town is via motorela a bigger version of a tricycle, and habal-habal (motorcycles).

This town is an amazing place and has a lot of things you can do and places to explore! Definitely one of my favorite towns in Bohol.

Where to Freedive in Bohol, Philippines?

Vegan Shack โ€“ Panglao Island, Bohol

This is my go-to vegan restaurant/ cafe in Bohol. I am not vegan but I love eating vegetables and try to have a well-balanced meal. Which is admittedly hard in Bohol – a very meat-centered culture. Even in restaurants, it’s hard to find a good plant-based food. So I really appreciate places that offer those.โ€ฆ
