Bohol Zip Codes: Complete List for All 48 Municipalities (Plus What Each Town Is Actually Like)

You’re filling out a form — maybe a Philippine visa extension, a Shopee delivery address, a GCash KYC registration, or a hotel booking confirmation — and you need the correct Bohol zip code fast. This page has all of them, organized so you can find what you need in under thirty seconds.

But every zip code in Bohol belongs to a real place. Some of those places — Panglao, Loboc, Anda, Alicia, Carmen — are worth putting on your itinerary. So alongside the complete Bohol zip codes table, this guide introduces each area by zone with links to the travel guides that go deeper.

The 48 Bohol municipalities hub covers history, geography, and local character for every town. A Bohol map reference puts the zones in visual context alongside the codes.

Why Bohol Zip Codes Come Up More Than You Expect

Most travelers don’t think about postal codes until a form demands one. Here’s where having the right code saves you time:

Visa and immigration forms — The Bureau of Immigration office in Tagbilaran requires your full accommodation address including zip. Tagbilaran City is 6300. Panglao is 6340 — not the same.

Online deliveries — Shopee, Lazada, LBC, and J&T all route by zip for provincial deliveries. A wrong code means your parcel gets held at a sorting center or returned entirely.

Bank and e-wallet registration — KYC forms for Philippine banks and GCash require your current address. If you’re staying in Bohol for more than a few days, use the zip of your actual municipality.

Tour operator pickups — Many local operators ask for your hotel’s zip when arranging morning pickups, especially for countryside tours that route through multiple municipalities.

“I almost missed my LBC delivery because I entered Tagbilaran’s zip instead of Panglao’s. They’re different municipalities even though they look close on the map.” — Traveler from Manila ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bohol Zip Codes by Zone — With Travel Context

Bohol covers 4,821 km² across 47 municipalities and one city. Rather than an alphabetical list, this guide organizes them by zone — the way a traveler thinks about them.

Zone 1: Tagbilaran City and the South Coast

Tagbilaran City (6300) is where most travelers arrive. The fast ferry from Cebu docks at Tagbilaran Port after roughly two hours — about 72 km across the Bohol Strait. The city is the hub for ferry connections, the Bureau of Immigration office, bus routes to every corner of the island, and the provincial heritage sites.

South of Tagbilaran, the coastal road passes through historically significant towns. Baclayon (6301) has one of the oldest coral-stone churches in the Philippines. Loay (6303) sits where the river meets the sea. Valencia (6306) and Dimiao (6305) are quiet interior municipalities.

The Tagbilaran City guide covers ferry terminals, city hotels, and how to use Tagbilaran as your base.

Zone 2: Panglao Island and Dauis

Panglao (6340) and Dauis (6339) cover the island that most first-time visitors spend the most time in. Panglao Island is 91.12 km², connected to the Bohol mainland by two bridges just south of Tagbilaran. This is where Alona Beach sits — a 1.5-kilometre stretch of white sand — along with over 200 dive sites.

A common mistake: Dauis is a separate municipality on the northern part of Panglao Island with its own zip code. If your resort is near Hinagdanan Cave or Bohol Bee Farm in Dao, your zip is 6339, not 6340. Confirm with your hotel directly.

The Panglao Island guide covers the full island. For stays near the beach strip, best Alona Beach hotels covers the top options.

Zone 3: Loboc and the Cultural Corridor

This zone covers the stretch of central Bohol that most countryside tours run through. Loboc (6316) is famous for its floating restaurant lunch along the emerald river. Bilar (6317) is where the Man-Made Forest begins — a two-kilometre tunnel of mahogany trees planted in the 1960s that every countryside tour passes through. Corella (6337) holds the Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary on 134 hectares of protected forest.

The Loboc River Cruise guide covers the floating lunch cruise and river activities. The Bilar Man-Made Forest guide covers the mahogany tunnel and surrounding stops.

Zone 4: The Chocolate Hills Corridor

Carmen (6319) is the town most visitors associate with the Chocolate Hills. The main observation deck sits here, about 55 kilometres from Tagbilaran or roughly 1.5 hours by private van. The complex contains 1,268 cone-shaped limestone mounds that turn from green to brown during the dry season (roughly January to May).

Sagbayan (6331) has a secondary viewpoint at Sagbayan Peak with an eco-park. Sierra Bullones (6320) and Pilar (6321) are quieter municipalities framing this highland area.

The Chocolate Hills guide covers viewpoint options and tour logistics. For accommodation, best Chocolate Hills hotels covers top stays in the Carmen area. The ATV Countryside Adventure is a popular active tour combining the hills with the countryside circuit.

Zone 5: Anda and the East Coast

The eastern side of Bohol slows down considerably. Most tourists skip this zone entirely because of the 2.5 to 3 hour drive from Tagbilaran — which is exactly why it’s worth going.

Anda (6311) has cave pools (Cabagnow and Combento), a long stretch of quiet white beach, and Lamanok Island — a pre-colonial burial site with rock art estimated at over 10,000 years old. Candijay (6312) gives access to Can-umantad Falls, Bohol’s tallest waterfall. Jagna (6308) is historically the home of the original Bohol kalamay and has a pier for inter-island vessels from Mindanao.

For accommodation in the east, Anda Bohol resorts covers the best options. The Bohol waterfalls guide covers Can-umantad and other accessible cascades. For Bohol’s famous sweets trail, the Bohol kalamay guide and the Bohol peanut kisses guide cover the two essential food souvenirs from this zone.

“We drove to Anda expecting nothing and ended up extending our stay. The cave pool is unlike anything else in Bohol.” — Couple from Australia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Zone 6: North Bohol

The northern coast is Bohol’s least-visited zone — and it holds one of the Philippines’ most significant marine ecosystems. The Danajon Double Barrier Reef runs parallel to the northeast coast for roughly 130 kilometres — one of only six double barrier reef systems in the world and the only one in Philippine waters. Diving access requires organizing a banca from Bien Unido (6326) or Getafe (6334).

Getafe — written as “Jetafe” on Philippine postal records, zip code 6334 — is the terminal for the Sunriser Cordova Ferry from Cordova in Mactan Island, Cebu. This route gives direct access to North Bohol without routing through Tagbilaran. Tubigon (6329) is the second-largest ferry port in Bohol after Tagbilaran.

For all ferry options connecting Bohol to Cebu, the Cebu–Bohol ferry guide covers every operator, route, and schedule.

Zone 7: Interior and Highland Municipalities

The inland municipalities rarely appear on tourist itineraries, but two have recently gained attention.

Alicia (6314) is where the Sea of Clouds phenomenon happens. At Alicia Panoramic Park, hikers reach a ridge above cloud level before dawn to watch sunrise over a carpet of clouds rolling beneath them. It requires a 2 to 3 hour drive from Tagbilaran and an early start. Danao (6344) is home to Danao Adventure Park, set 650 metres above sea level — home to “The Plunge,” a freefall 70 metres above the Wahig River.

The Sea of Clouds Alicia Panoramic Park guide covers how to get there and what to bring. Danao Adventure Park covers all activity options and booking details.

Practical Notes for Using These Zip Codes

Panglao vs Dauis is the most common confusion. Both municipalities are on Panglao Island. If your accommodation is in Tawala or Bolod (Alona Beach side), you’re in Panglao (6340). If you’re near Bohol Bee Farm, Hinagdanan Cave, or the Dao area, that’s Dauis (6339). When in doubt, confirm the barangay with your host.

Tagbilaran City uses 6300 across the entire city. Unlike some Philippine cities with district sub-codes, one code covers all barangays within city limits.

LBC and J&T routing: Both couriers route by zip for provincial deliveries. Packages from Cebu routed to Panglao (6340) go through Tagbilaran and across the bridge — allow an extra half-day compared to Tagbilaran deliveries.

For GPS in remote areas: If Google Maps doesn’t recognize a barangay name, search the municipality plus province — “Alicia, Bohol” rather than the barangay. Zip codes are a useful fallback filter in some navigation apps.

“I needed the Anda zip code for a Shopee order and spent 20 minutes looking for it. Bookmarked this page after.” — Solo traveler from Davao ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Conclusion

Bohol zip codes are a small piece of practical information that comes up at surprisingly inconvenient moments — mid-form, mid-booking, or mid-argument with a courier app. Having the correct code ready means fewer delays and fewer delivery mistakes, whether you’re extending your visa in Tagbilaran or ordering supplies to a resort in Anda.

The zone breakdowns above also work as a rough orientation to Bohol’s geography. Every zip code in the table represents a real municipality with its own history, landscape, and local character — and several are genuinely worth visiting. The 77 things to do in Bohol guide covers the full island from every angle. And when you’re ready to build a full itinerary, the Bohol Travel Guide is the starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bohol Zip Codes

What is the zip code for Panglao Island and Alona Beach?

Alona Beach sits within the municipality of Panglao, which uses zip code 6340. This is the code to use for hotel bookings, delivery addresses, and forms when your accommodation is in the Tawala or Bolod barangay area — the section of Panglao Island where most of the resorts, dive shops, and beach-facing accommodation are clustered. If your resort is on the northern side of the island near Hinagdanan Cave or the Bohol Bee Farm in Dao, that falls under the municipality of Dauis, which has its own separate code: 6339. When in doubt, confirm with your hotel.

Why does Panglao Island have two different zip codes?

Panglao Island is divided between two municipalities: Panglao (6340) in the south and Dauis (6339) in the north. They sit on the same island but are administratively separate, each with its own local government. The dividing point runs roughly along the east–west road through the island’s middle. Most beach resorts, dive operations, and Alona Beach restaurants fall under Panglao (6340). The Bohol Bee Farm, Hinagdanan Cave, and the Dauis Church heritage complex fall under Dauis (6339). Entering the wrong code on a delivery or booking form is one of the most common zip code mistakes travelers make in Bohol.

What is the zip code for Tagbilaran City?

Tagbilaran City uses 6300 for all barangays within its boundary — unlike some Philippine cities that have district-level sub-codes, Tagbilaran uses a single code across the entire city. This covers the ferry terminal area, the Bureau of Immigration office, the Cogon Market district, and all central and outlying barangays within city limits. If you’re filling in visa extension forms, GCash KYC registration, or an LBC pickup address while staying anywhere in Tagbilaran City, 6300 is the correct entry every time.

What zip code covers the Chocolate Hills viewpoint area?

The main Chocolate Hills observation deck is in Carmen, which uses zip code 6319. Carmen is the town most associated with the hills and where the primary viewpoint complex is located, roughly 55 kilometres from Tagbilaran. The secondary viewpoint at Sagbayan Peak is in a different municipality — Sagbayan uses 6331. If you’re booking accommodation near the Chocolate Hills or sending mail to an address in that area, check which side of the boundary your property sits on. Carmen is the default for the main attraction.

Which zip code should I use for the Tarsier Sanctuary in Corella?

The Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary sits in Corella, which uses zip code 6337. Corella is a small municipality east of Tagbilaran along the road toward the Chocolate Hills, and the sanctuary itself covers 134 hectares of protected forest within the municipality. If you’re arranging a delivery, tour pickup, or filing a form that lists the sanctuary as your address, 6337 is correct. Corella is a separate municipality from Sikatuna (6338) and Loboc (6316), both of which are nearby but distinct on postal records.

Is Getafe spelled as “Jetafe” on Philippine postal records?

Yes — officially, the municipality is listed as Jetafe on Philippine Postal Corporation records, with zip code 6334, even though the more widely used spelling in everyday usage and online maps is “Getafe.” Both spellings refer to the same place on Bohol’s north coast. Jetafe/Getafe is notable as the terminal for the Sunriser Cordova Ferry from Cordova in Mactan Island, Cebu, making it an alternative entry point to Bohol that bypasses Tagbilaran entirely. When filling out courier forms or postal addresses for this municipality, using “Jetafe” with zip 6334 is the safest option to avoid sorting errors.

What zip code should I use for a tourist visa extension in Bohol?

If you’re extending your visa at the Bureau of Immigration office in Tagbilaran City, use 6300 for your address. The BI office is within Tagbilaran’s city limits, which all fall under 6300. If you’re listing your accommodation address on the form, use the zip code of wherever you’re actually staying — Panglao (6340), Dauis (6339), Anda (6311), or whichever municipality your hotel is in. The BI form asks for your current Philippine address, so using your actual place of stay is correct. Confirm the zip with your accommodation before the appointment to avoid delays.

What zip code covers the Loboc River area?

Loboc uses zip code 6316. This covers the town center, the floating restaurant pier, eco-lodges along the river, and the surrounding barangays that make up the Loboc municipality. Bilar, the adjacent municipality where the Man-Made Forest is located, uses 6317 — it’s a different postal zone even though both appear on the same countryside tour route. If you’re staying at a river lodge in Loboc for the firefly cruise or SUP activities, 6316 is the correct code for all delivery and registration purposes. For more on the area, see the Loboc River Cruise guide.

What zip code should I use for Anda and the east coast resorts?

Anda uses zip code 6311. This covers Anda town proper and the surrounding barangays where most of the beach resorts, cave pools (Cabagnow and Combento), and the Lamanok Island access point are located. Candijay — the adjacent municipality to the north that gives access to Can-umantad Falls — uses 6312. East coast municipalities are a 2.5 to 3 hour drive from Tagbilaran, so double-checking the zip before ordering a delivery or scheduling a courier pickup is particularly important — misrouted packages can take extra days to correct in this zone. More details at the Anda Bohol travel guide.

How do I find the right zip code for a specific barangay in Bohol?

In Bohol, zip codes are assigned at the municipality level, not the barangay level — every barangay within a given municipality shares the same zip code. So the process is: identify your municipality first, then look up that municipality’s zip. The tables in this article cover all 48 municipalities. If you’re unsure which municipality a barangay belongs to, search “[barangay name] + Bohol” on Google Maps — the result will name the municipality, and you can cross-reference the zip from there. For Panglao and Dauis specifically, confirm with your accommodation directly, since the island boundary between the two municipalities causes frequent confusion.
