Weather and best time to visit Cebu, Philippines

Cebu, Philippines, is known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant culture, and rich history. The city experiences a tropical climate, characterized by two main seasons: the dry season and the wet season. The best time to visit Cebu and enjoy pleasant weather is generally during the dry season, which typically runs from December to May. Here’s what you can expect during these months:

December to February: This period is considered the peak tourist season in Cebu, as the weather is generally sunny and dry. The average temperature ranges from 24°C (75°F) to 30°C (86°F). It’s an excellent time for beach activities, exploring historical sites, and attending festivals such as the Sinulog Festival in January.

March to May: These months mark the transition from the dry season to the wet season. The weather remains warm, with temperatures ranging from 25°C (77°F) to 32°C (90°F). It’s a great time to visit if you want to avoid the crowds and enjoy lower accommodation rates. However, occasional rain showers may occur during this period.

June to November: This period constitutes the wet season in Cebu, with increased chances of rainfall and occasional typhoons. The weather is generally hot and humid, with temperatures ranging from 24°C (75°F) to 31°C (88°F). While it may not be the ideal time for beach activities, you can still explore indoor attractions, go shopping, or indulge in the local cuisine.

Where to go and things to do in Cebu

With so many cool places to visit in Cebu, use this guide to show you the best attractions and activities to do around the city and plan your own Cebu itinerary for a trip to the region. We will share the top things to do in Cebu with a three day Cebu itinerary to inspire you to do the same or longer timeframe to explore more of the surrounding areas and islands.

Blue Water Maribago Resort

Day 1 flying to Cebu

I booked a flight to Cebu on Cebu Airways with an inexpensive roundtrip ticket that takes you to Cebu airport in the late afternoon. From the airport, it is easy enough to catch an Uber taxi directly to my hotel Bluewater Maribago Beach Resort. There are free wifi zones in the terminal up to the outdoor waiting stands for the Uber pick up ride. There are many different hotel accommodations to choose from depending on location and price. You can use the link below to give you highlights of recommended places from visitors with Trip Advisor here for more details.

BlueWater Maribago resort on Mactan

Check into hotel and dining out

I chose to be located in Mactan Island at the Bluewater Maribago for beach and water access but within an easy drive to central Cebu, the historic district or various attractions around the island. The resort sits on the southern part of Mactan island away from the busy and loud tourist venues and shopping areas. Low thatched roofs with elegant suites sit on various parts of the property along with other regular bedroom configurations sitting around beautiful pool areas, elegant ponds and gardens or more secluded properties. The beach area is perfectly groomed white sand beach with a oceanside bar and restaurant and a small barrier beach area only accessible by swimming to it – little thatched tables with seating make a perfect alternative for shade requirements from the intense sun. The various pools around the property are large with fountains, slides and kiddie play areas. I took a quick dip in the lagoon area and played around the main pool area with some massage type waterfalls.

Taking an easy and relaxing day just on the resort and enjoying the beach, pool and other outdoor bars and restaurants was a nice way to enjoy a first day on the island especially after a hectic flight and transfers to the resort.

BlueWater Maribago resort on Mactan

I decided to dine in the first night at the comfortable pool restaurant called Allegro with poolside dining or air conditioned interior. I opted to have their dinner buffet which was a real feast with local specialties and delicious fresh seafood cooked to order.  After the wonderful meal, I spent the rest of the evening enjoying a walk to the beach areas and dropping by the lagoon bar for a nice evening cocktail while watching the orange hued sunset for my first time visit to Cebu.

Here’s a quick video tour and travel experience in Cebu

Day two – exploring in Cebu’s historic district

Early morning and a nice breakfast service at the hotel and I was ready to head out  and do a Cebu day tour of the historic district and other local attractions in town. There are plenty of cabs, Jeepneys or services like Uber to get you to one of the main squares in town. I used the excellent wifi to catch an uber asked the driver to be drop me off at the Cebu Cathedral in the historic district. You can have a fun day tour of Cebu exploring all the historic sites just within the historic downtown district and walk through all the main attractions easily in the area and then take a taxi or uber to the other outlying areas and attractions.

Cebu historic district

Cebu Cathedral

On of the top attractions to visit in Cebu is the Cebu Cathedral in the historic district. An ornate classic colonial Spanish style church, Cebu’s Cathedral is very typical with thick walls to make the interiors cooler and more solid to hurricanes and other natural elements. Damaged by the Allied forces, the façade, belfry and walls remained and were quickly reconstructed in the 1950s and later expanded with current renovations to the cathedral. After visiting the interior of the church and chapels, I walked out to the side garden and to a narrow alleyway filled with colorful street food vendors and local produce for sale – this bustling alley lead directly to the other large church in Cebu called the Basilico del Santo Nino.

Basilica del Santo Nino

This minor basilica established in Cebu in 1565 is built on the spot where the Santo Nino – an icon of the statue of the holy child that was brought by Spanish explorer Miguel de Legaspi. Along with the basilica is the monastery, a beautiful garden area and surrounding adjunct buildings and worship centers. I walked around the expansive candle offering stations and watched as older retirees sell large and colorful candles as offerings to the visitors to the sanctuary. After enjoying touring the grounds, I headed towards the next attraction close by which was to visit Magellan’s Cross.

Magellan’s Cross

Housed in an ornate tiled chapel pavilion, the cross of Magellan is a simple and large wooden cross ordered by Magellan from early Portuguese and Spanish explorers establishing Cebu as a colonial city in the Philippines. The ceiling is decorated with large ornate mural that depicts the early settlers and establishment of the Spanish colony. I ended up walking around the small chapel while watching and trying to capture some of the locals hanging around the popular attraction. After visiting the monument, I walked back through the main thoroughfares of the basilica and cathedral to visiting some of the other existing colonial structures in the historic center which is easy to walk around. The Cebu tourism organization has preserved many of the historic buildings well and create an easy to do DIY self guided tour of the area.

Here’s a visit to Old Cebu area and some funny observations

A visit to Casa Gorordo

One of the most impressive places to put on your Cebu itinerary is a visit to Casa Gorordo, a classical Spanish colonial style home of a wealthy family from Cebu. I love to visit colonial period homes and this historic home that is still being used by the Gorordo family (an influential and wealthy family from Cebu) is well-preserved and was built in the 1850s. The gorgeous stone home was the official residence of the first Filipino bishop of Cebu and a wealthy merchant. Built of a solid coral first floor base and wooden second floor, the bishop spared no expense to decorate the interior with gorgeous wood carvings, ornate furniture and imported collectibles and personal collections. I loved the self tour with audio guide and you can take your time to visit the elaborate rooms as you like and even relax in a comfortable veranda or the amazing café below the gift shop. This is definitely one of the best historic attractions to see in the historic center. To check out more about this fascinating home, visiting their website here for more details.

The Yap – San Diego Ancestral House

Not as elaborate as Casa Gorordo but just as authentic a colonial style home that is actually still lived in by the family, this ancestral home is one of the oldest ancestral homes in the Philippines built around 1675. The wooden home is filled with so many details, furnishings and other personal collectibles, you have to walk around slowly to see all the unique displays in this still lived in home. Sagging wooden floorboards, creaking stairs and a red-tiled roof is both colonial and Chinese in Ancestry.  I loved walking around and then taking a photo with the caretaker in a vintage colonial style dress, while I was sweating profusely and in a sad state while walking around.

Other interesting Cebu historic attractions

After walking around the historic district, its easy enough to hire a local cab to take you to some of the other outlying attractions around the city center and in the neighboring Mactan Island. Here are some of the interesting historical monuments worth visiting around the city.

Taoist temple in Cebu

Cebu Taoist Temple

Located in a quiet area outside and above the city proper sits the Cebu Taoist Temple – an expansive series of buildings sitting above a hill with striking panoramic views of the city below. The Taoist Temple of Cebu was built by the local Chinese community as a worship center for Taoism – after the teachings of the Chinese Philosopher Lao Zi. One of the main pilgrimage functions for a favorable visit is to climb the 81 steps to the main temple, light joss sticks and have their fortune read by monks. For non devotees, its fantastic to just walk around the see the many little temples and take photographs of the city below and just enjoy the cool breeze up in the hills.

Here’s a quick video tour of the Cebu Taoist Temple below

Visiting Fort San Pedro

Built under Spanish rule, Fort San Pedro in the historic district of Cebu was the main defense structure protecting the city. Fronting the large Plaza Independencia, the original fort was made of wood and is now the oldest stone and coral triangular fort in the Philippines facing the sea in two fronts and inland on one side.  Large cannons are still in place in strategic parts of the ramparts which is fun to walk around and view the city and historic areas from above. Check more details about the history and development of Fort San Pedro here for more information.

Robinson’s 4th floor dining with views

A late lunch at Robinsons department store offers a variety of food choices that are very popular with locals who flock to the department store for air conditioning, good food choices and nice views. After visiting the sites above, I had the driver take me to Robinsons which has an excellent food court and great views of the city that I wanted to check out. Robinsons didn’t disappoint with the dining/food area located on the top floor with sunny and nice views to the harbor and downtown area. Although the shopping is typical of any of the larger air-conditioned malls in the Philippines, there is a variety of choices in food venues and the quality is typically very good and cheap considering you are eating at a mall. There are a few good prepared foods of local specialties and you can pick how much you want to try and sample of the local favorites from the area at inexpensive prices.

After a delicious and satisfying meal, I decided to head back to Mactan Island and check out the local outdoor farmers market and dine al fresco around the area of the Lapu Lapu Shrine.

Mactan Island public market

The area around the outdoor markets are confusing, loud and local, so its a great opportunity to try some snacks or street food, souvenir shop or just experience and take some photographs of the market and daily life of how people shop and entertain in this expansive market area. The livelier areas tend to the areas selling fresh seafood, butcher shops and the perishable marketplaces.

Visiting the Lapu Lapu Shrine and Magellan Shrine

Later in the afternoon, I took an Uber to the bronze Lapu Lapu shrine on Mactan Island to view the site where the famous warrier Chief Lapu Lapu defeated the Spanish soldiers that were lead by Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. The beautiful area next to the bronze shrine is filled with gardens and tropical plants with the taller Magellan shrine in the center of the park to commemorate Magellan’s bringing Christianity to the Philippines and his death at the hands of Lapu Lapu.

Mactan island Magellen shrine and park

Close to the park areas and shrine are some small tourist markets and waterfront restaurants that serve up a variety of locally caught seafood from the area and served Cebuano style using fresh local ingredients in a variety of simple preparations. There’s a lot of cool souvenirs to check out while walking around the shops, just make sure that you bargain real hard for those take home gifts. Further down are the restaurants with fresh seafood tanks and displays for you to choose what type of seafood you would like and the different preparation styles you want it done in. If you cannot understand the slang, it’s easy enough to just ask for a menu and point to the types of seafood you would like.

Tip – make sure that you do get a price upfront on what the seafood will cost so you don’t get surprised with a questionable bill in the end.

Dining along the coastal Mactan waterways

There are many casual restaurants fronting the Mactan Channel with fresh seafood catches displayed at their entrance. Many have menus or preparation styles of Seafood you can choose from including simple Cebuano style dishes which include soups or casseroles, easy stir fry dishes and noodles or vegetable side dishes. Everything tastes great especially with fresh seafood and local ingredients added to the mix.

More inside tips to visiting Cebu, Philippines

Explore beyond the city: While Cebu City has many attractions, consider venturing outside the urban area to discover the province’s natural beauty.

Cebu, located in the Philippines, experiences a tropical climate throughout the year, making it an inviting destination for travelers seeking warm and sunny weather. The best time to visit Cebu is generally during the dry season, which runs from December to May. During these months, you can expect pleasant temperatures, with average highs ranging from 28 to 32 degrees Celsius (82 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit), and lower chances of rainfall.

This is a great tour of Cebu! When I was there I only had about 1.5 days. I did the whale shark thing and then spend a day exploring Cebu City. The Taoist Temple was one of my favorite things I saw this. That was a first for me. So, I’m glad to see it made your list!

Noel

Cebu does have some fascinating attractions and historic sites, driving around the island is fantastic and seeing those whale sharks

Meg Jerrard

I would love to visit Cebu – I only had a brief visit last year, and took in Manila and Boracay, but Cebu sounds beautiful, so might be our next trip. Good to know that Uber is an easy way to get around – the historic district looks so rich in cultural heritage. Cebu Cathedral and the Basilica del Santo Nino are quite ornate inside – you can definitely see the Spanish influence. Thanks for sharing this three day itinerary – really great balance of history, the islands, markets and some beach time 🙂

I think you would love to explore the Cebu city and the entire island, there really is a lot to see. Cebu’s historic center is fascinating and filled with so many historic treasures.

Francesca Murray

I’m definitely someone who loves culture, adventure and beaches! I’ve seen Cebu all over instagram but didn’t know much else about it besides the pretty beaches. This was a great thorough guide – now I also know what to see and where to eat! I’d love to try a casserole

Cebu city and the island is definitely IG worthy in so many areas despite being a large metropolis, but it doesn’t take too long to go out and see some of the amazing landscapes and coastal areas of Cebu to get away from it all.

Alli Blair

I especially like the tip to take a selfie with the attendant in traditional dress 😉 Loved all the pictures that beautifully represented Cebu. Would love to visit here one day!

Visiting Cebu is great when you have more than 3 days and I love to include people in native dress or in the environment to show a sense of people and place.

Lydia Smith

Oh my my. You must have had a great time at Cebu. I can imagine what it mist have looked like. 3 days full of exploration and discovery of the beautiful places of Philippines. I envy your 3 day tour and I want to go to the Phillipines.

Cebu is a busy city, but the historic center and the neighboring islands take you to a different and more relaxed world.

zestinatote

Never been to Philippines. You have given an exhaustive and useful itinerary, if I ever do plan to visit Cebu.

Visiting Cebu island is gorgeous with so many fascinating places to visit, I’m sure you would enjoy it.

Nicola

That is exactly my kind of trip, you did it exactly as I would – some time to explore the history, some down time and some amazing food! The hotel looks gorgeous, if I visit I’ll definitely be looking that one up. Great read.

Cebu is not on everyone’s radar in the Philippines but touring around the island, there’s so much to see and do.

lukeandmeagan

What an amazing, thorough writeup! The churches are so opulent – I haven’t been to any Spanish churches, but I’ve never seen crystal chandeliers in a church before. Cebu sounds like a lovely mix of old and new, and of active and relaxing (and that resort sounds wonderful) 🙂

Cebu island is surprising and there are wonderful Unesco and heritage sites that they have preserved well in the historic district and various areas around the island. Definitely worth a visit to Cebu if you have an interest in this fascinating culture and traditional Spanish colonial rule in Asia.

Arienne

What a great post. It’s so detailed! I was in Cebu in 2011 but only had 1 full day in the city. Not enough time to really explore it. I’ll just have to plan a return trip now!

Cebu is a great city, it just doesn’t get its do because there are so many other islands to visit in the Visayas, but it is a great city.

The Spanish Cathedral caught my eye too. Looks in good condition. All 3 days have been planned and spent well. Good justice done to touring time.

Cebu has some amazing attractions in the historic center especially the churches

Looks like you found a beautiful paradise. I did not realise that the cathedral in Cebu was so ornate.

If you’re looking for guided tours to explore Kawasan Falls and experience the thrill of canyoneering, check out our Kawasan Falls Cebu Tour Packages .

Binalayan Falls

The Binalayan Falls, also known as the Hidden Falls, is a hidden treasure awaiting discovery. It features a spectacular 30 to 45-foot cliff jump ideal for adventurers. This location is easily accessible and essential for waterfall hunting in Southern Cebu. 

Locals refer to this location as “Hidden Falls” because of its unique structure. The name “Hidden Falls” is derived from the fact that visitors must ascend the first level to witness its hidden splendor. Other locals also refer to this location as “Triple Drop Falls” because of the three distinct streams that cascade over the plunge pool. The plunge pool at Binalayan Falls is 9 feet deep and overflows into the river with refreshing water. As time passes, the running water creates rock formations and small chambers by undermining the soft rock. These chambers provide the ideal conditions for cliff jumping.

The location is a fantastic spot to visit and see.

Inambakan Falls

The jaw-dropping Inambakan Falls is nestled in the serene municipality of Ginatilan. This hidden gem is part of Cebu’s illustrious waterfall family, each member absolutely spellbinding!

Inambakan Falls is a glorious five-tiered waterfall, with the main cascade plummeting majestically from a height of 100 feet into a cool, emerald basin. It’s the kind of scene that sparks up Instagram envy and fills up travel journals with tales of awe.

Venture further and you’ll find the other tiers, each a smaller cascade, yet equally captivating. The verdant foliage encircling the falls, the tranquil ambiance, and the gentle mist in the air meld together to create an enchanting, almost otherworldly, waterfall experience.

This cascade queen is lesser known compared to its siblings like Kawasan and Tumalog, making it a peaceful escape for those seeking a slice of waterfall heaven sans the crowds. The trail leading to Inambakan is a blend of simple and moderate hikes, making it a delightful venture for both novice and seasoned hikers. And the best part? The reward is a tranquil dip in the soothing waters, with nothing but the melodious chirps of the local avifauna and the soft whispers of the cascading water to serenade you.

Getting to Inambakan may be a humble quest, but the sights, sounds, and serenity you’ll encounter are nothing short of royal. It’s a place where nature unveils its grandeur in the form of shimmering waters and serene surroundings—a true testament to Cebu’s endless natural allure.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. Lao Tzu All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. Martin Buber

Northern Philippine Cuisine

For festive occasions, people band together and prepare more sophisticated dishes. Tables are often laden with expensive and labor-intensive treats requiring hours of preparation. In Filipino celebrations, lechón (also spelled litson) serves as the centerpiece of the dinner table. It is usually a whole roasted pig, but suckling pigs (lechonillo, or lechon de leche) or cattle calves (lechong baka) can also be prepared in place of the popular adult pig.

Desserts Food, Philippine Cuisine

As a tropical oriental country it should come as no surprise there are many treats made from rice and coconuts. One often seen dessert is bibingka, a hot rice cake optionally topped with a pat of butter, slices of kesong puti (white cheese), itlog na maalat (salted duck eggs), and sometimes grated coconut. There are also glutinous rice sweets called biko made with sugar, butter, and coconut milk.

10 Best Cebu Tours in 2024 (Tour Packages in Cebu With Itinerary and Private Transfers)

Mario Manlupig

  • September 22, 2023
  • January 14, 2024
  • Badian , Bantayan Island , Cebu City , Moalboal , Oslob

Whether you are a solo traveler, a couple, or a group of family and friends, one of the best ways to explore the vastness of Cebu is through guided tours. CEBU INSIDER has carefully curated the 10 Best Cebu Tours in 2023!

Traveling to a foreign country can be a bit tricky if you are not familiar with how things work. That’s why tours are the easiest way to remove stress and just your destination without thinking about how to get there and what to do. Everything is already arranged for you.

In Cebu, there are so many tours available to provide you with the best travel experience. Whether you are looking for a packaged trip to Bantayan Island or a guided tour to South Cebu where you can swim with giant whale sharks , dive with millions of sardines , and go canyoneering in Badian , Cebu is not short of tours.

If you are wondering which Cebu tours to take, here are some of our top recommendations:

WHAT'S IN THIS POST?

1. Badian Canyoneering and Kawasan Falls Tour

If this is your first time in Cebu, you should do the Badian Canyoneering and Kawasan Falls Tour . Canyoneering in Badian is one of the most popular things to do in Cebu. On this tour, you will swim through cerulean waters from the Kanlaon River to Kawasan Falls.

You don’t have to be a good swimmer to do this activity as you will wear a life vest and safety gear. A gentle reminder, though—canyoneering in Badian involves lots of walking, swimming, and jumping off cliffs, so do prepare your leg strength and endurance.

This activity is only possible with certified tour guides who know the ins and outs of the trail from end to end. These guides are also trained to safeguard tourists and prevent any potential accidents along the way.

2. Oslob Whale Shark Watching Tour

Another must-do outdoor activity in Cebu is swimming with whale sharks in Oslob. The Oslob Whale Shark Watching Tour takes you to the activity center for a short briefing before you are taken to the site to get close to the largest shark and fish alive.

Many of these sharks have made a residency off the coast of Tan-awan, Oslob , so you can guarantee to see them 365 days a year. Whale sharks are friendly, so there’s nothing to worry about. Just keep a good distance to avoid getting swallowed (Yes, they can swallow humans!). Part of this tour is a trip to Tumalog Falls, one of the grandest waterfalls in Cebu .

3. Moalboal Island Hopping Tour

If you are visiting Cebu, don’t ever skip Moalboal , a small tourist town popular among foreign tourists for its unique nature activities. On this Moalboal Island Hopping Tour , you will do the famous sardine run wherein you can swim with millions of sardines just a few meters off the coast of Panagsama Beach. Whether you go snorkeling, freediving, or scuba diving, swimming with a ball of sardines in Moalboal also includes gigantic green and hawksbill sea turtles.

Part of this tour is a trip to Pescador Island, a small island west of Panagsama Beach. Pescador Island is known for its rich marine ecosystem with over 450 species of hard coral, pyramid butterflyfish, tuna, nudibranchs, snake eel, frogfish, barracuda, and white-tipped reef shark. Your island hopping tour may also include a trip to Basdaku or White Beach.

4. Cebu Highlights Tour

If you are pressed for time but want to explore the best of Cebu in as little as 3 days, do the Cebu Highlights Tour ! In 3 days, you will explore Cebu City’s famous tourist attractions and more, including the Temple of Leah (an ornate Roman-style temple), Cebu Taoist Temple, Magellan’s Cross (a pavilion where the historic Roman Catholic cross was planted by explorers of the Spanish expedition of the first circumnavigation of the world led by Ferdinand Magellan), Basilica del Santo Niño, Fort San Pedro, and 10,000 Roses Café (a coffee shop and an art installation).

Part of this tour is a trip to Oslob to experience whale shark watching and a side trip to Tumalog Falls and Aguinid Falls. You will also visit Sumilon Island where the famous shifting white sandbar can be found. In addition, you will do the canyoneering in Badian and sardine run in Moalboal as well.

5. Bantayan Island Getaway Package

For a more relaxed vacation, head to Bantayan Island , an island on the northern tip of Cebu known for its white sand beaches. This Bantayan Island Getaway Package includes a 3-day luxury resort accommodation, an excursion around the island, and island hopping to Virgin Island, Hilantagaan Island, and Baigad Lagoon.

On your excursion, you will visit tourist attractions in Bantayan Island like Ogtong Cave Pool, Santa Fe Ruins, Paradise Beach, and Omagieca Mangrove Garden and Eco Park. Although not part of the package, you may do activities like skydiving and kitesurfing, depending on the weather conditions.

6. Bantayan Island Hopping Tour

If you don’t need a packaged tour to Bantayan Island but still want to do island hopping, the Bantayan Island Hopping Tour is for you! On this tour, you will be able to visit Virgin Island, Hilantagaan Island, and Baigad Lagoon.

Virgin Island is a private island a few minutes away from Santa Fe in Bantayan Island. It’s home to a crystal-clear white sand beach where you can also do activities like board jumping, snorkeling, kayaking, and beach volleyball.

Your tour starts at Baigad Lagoon where you can dip your toe in its clear white sand beach. Afterwards, you will proceed to Hilantagaan Island where you will snorkel and explore this fishermen’s island. Virgin Island is the highlight of this tour where you are most likely having lunch and spend most of your time.

7. Top of Cebu Private Half-Day Tour

For a worthwhile quick trip around Cebu City, the Top of Cebu Private Half-Day Tour is your best option. Top of Cebu is a fancy restaurant in Busay, on the mountainside of Cebu, where you will have an unforgettable dining experience with a 180-degree view of downtown Cebu City. This tour takes place in the afternoon until evening so you’ll get to see Cebu City shimmering.

These islands have rich marine ecosystems, perfect for snorkeling and diving, as well as white sandbars, perfect for frolicking on the beach.

On this tour, you will get a private transfer from Mactan or Cebu City straight to Moalboal and a private boat transfer to Pescador Island where you can snorkel or dive. Pescador Island has rich live corals, so you can expect marine species to thrive.

By doing so, you’ll be able to narrow down the list of potential travel and tour agencies and find the one that best suits your needs.

2. Check for Accreditation and Licenses

Before booking a tour with a travel agency, make sure to check if it is accredited and licensed. Accreditation and licenses ensure that the agency follows strict guidelines and industry standards.

4. Check the Tour Guide’s Reputation and Expertise

The tour guide is a key factor in ensuring a memorable and successful trip. Therefore, it’s important to check the tour guide’s reputation and expertise. A reliable and experienced tour guide will not only provide you with important information about Cebu City but also ensure your safety and comfort during the tour.

Travel plans can change unexpectedly, and it’s essential to choose a travel and tour agency that can accommodate your needs. Look for an agency that offers flexibility and customization in its packages. For instance, if you want to add or remove certain activities to your itinerary, a good travel agency will work with you to make the necessary changes.

Choosing the best travel and tour agency in Cebu City is crucial to ensuring a stress-free and memorable trip. Remember, a reliable and trustworthy travel agency will ensure that your Cebu City adventure is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

In front of the painting you will see a commemorative marker which reads;

“Here on April 27, 1521, Lapu-lapu and his men repulsed the Spanish invaders, killing their leader, Ferdinand Magellan. Thus Lapu-lapu became the first Filipino to have repelled European aggression.”

I had a great time with the whale shark watching in the morning, as well as the 3 hour canyoneering tour that afternoon. Teddy and Steve were great and very nice, and although the car ride is long as expected, it was worth it to take part in these two activities

My life and business partner, Tim, and I had a great time! I booked a 10-day tour through Guide to the Philippines. At first, I just felt that handing over our precious holiday to someone else was a bit uncomfortable, but we are so glad we did! This team of passionate professionals did everything they could to ensure we had an incredible holiday! The tour itself was extraordinary. We traveled to Bohol, Cebu, El Nido, and Puerto Princesa, beautiful places here in the Philippines, where we got to partake in some great activities like island hopping, folk dancing, lunch while river cruising, snorkeling, volleyball, kayaking, swimming with whale sharks and feeding monkeys; possibly a bit too wild, as we also bolted on all of the additional extras like mangrove boating, zip lining, and hiking, but that was more us, biting off more than we could chew but we don’t regret a thing! All the staff, from the airlines to the hotel and the tour itself, even those I only talked to through email whenever I have questions, are outstanding at doing their job! They took care of us like we were friends for a long time. To share why I need to have this vacation, I struggled to produce creative thoughts for the past few months (March to April), and I had to postpone some of my plans due to my lack of motivation to accomplish many important agendas. During the vacation, however, after doing some cleansing, grounding, and centering works in El Nido and thanksgiving offerings to nature (we are animistic), both during our easy and free time and a 10-day business with a leisure getaway, I'm always fired on by ingenious and innovative thoughts. And the thing is, I don't feel drained and exhausted physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I can still work early in the morning until evening without checking my pulse to see if it is still beating. And everything I do is yielding positive results! I'm more than happy than ever! Knowing how a tour like this can help you escape challenging times is incredible. I actually like this routine and my newly gained stamina. I'm just amazed by myself now. So once again, thank you, Guide to the Philippines, for giving us such an adventure! I'm planning to take my whole team to El Nido next year, so I expect we will book another tour through your site!

I had an incredible experience on the Cebu Oslob Whale Shark Watching & Moalboal Island Hopping Private Day Tour! The guides went above and beyond, ensuring everything ran smoothly and making the day truly unforgettable. In just one day, I got to freedive with sardines and turtles, scuba dive with whale sharks, and even do some thrilling canyoneering. This tour is the perfect way to see the best of Moalboal and Oslob in a single day. Highly recommend!
