They will definitely make sure that you feel comfortable from the moment they pick you up until they drop you off at the end of the day! It’s worth it to put your trust in them.

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

Mario Manlupig

  • September 22, 2023
  • January 14, 2024

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.

Badian Canyoneering Cebu

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 .

Oslob Whale Shark Watching

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.

Moalboal Sardine Run2

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.

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.

Cebu City Tour

Cebu City Tour: 8 Destinations in 1 Day

Cebu City is known as the Queen City of the South in Cebu Island in the Philippines. This amazing place is my first destination for 2018 travels. I explored this highly urbanized city with my friends from High School. So exciting!

How to organize a city tour?

There are a few ways you can tour and explore the city. Here are few options you can choose:

  • City Tour Packages – There are sites or companies that offers city tour packages just like the cebucitytour.com that I found online. (Not sponsored. Just a suggestion.) If you’re a tourist and would like to know more about Cebu History and attractions, it would be a good choice for you. But it would cost you more though.
  • Rent a Van –  If you’re a big group and you know the places you want to visit, I recommend you rent a Van. It’s more convenient and I bet the driver knows the city so well.
  • GrabCar – Yes, GrabCar works in Cebu. (In Davao we only have GrabTaxi) This is what we did. We asked a GrabCar driver and gladly he agreed. For 7 people and 7 destinations, we paid Php 3,500 so that’s Php 500 each. Not bad. Right?
  • GrabTaxi/Taxi – If you’re in a smaller group of like 3-4 persons only, you can definitely try to ask a taxi driver. But make sure to negotiate. So instead of charging you every stop, you can definitely kind-of rent them for the day.
  • Habal-Habal Driver – Definitely the cheapest but I’d say a little inconvenient. This is for someone who’s willing to ride a motorcycle. But remember, most destinations are pretty far from each other so make sure your butt is ready for a long drive. For solo travelers, I highly recommend this.

Cebu City Tour

1) Plaza Independencia

Cebu City Tour - Plaza Independencia

Plaza Independencia is a historical site that makes it a popular tourist destination. Located just between Fort San Pedro and Casa del Gobierno de Visayas. Used to be the Provincial Capitol until 1938. Now, its a popular place to hangout for people living or working around the area.

The plaza has been the most significant sites in the history of Cebu city. You can still see the old acacia trees that has been there for years and witnessed to Cebu’s rich history.

Located in M.J.  Cuenco Avenue  and Legaspi Extension, Barangay  San Roque ,  Cebu City .

2) Fort San Pedro

Fort San Pedro in Cebu City

Fort San Pedro or Fuerza de San Pedro was built in 1565 under the command of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi. This triangular shaped fort was once built to serve as a military defense structure. Now it is known as the oldest and smallest fort in the country and is one of Cebu’s historical attractions.

Learn the history of Cebu by indulging yourself with the paintings, old photos, old items, and even see a real cannon. And you can take as many pictures as you like. 😉

Located just beside the Plaza Independencia. For Php 30, you’ll be able to enjoy this place.

3) Magellan’s Cross

Cebu City Magellan's Cross

Just few walks from the Fort San Pedro is Cebu’s historical Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño – the oldest Catholic Church in Cebu. And outside the church is where the Magellan’s cross is. Standing under a Spanish-styled pavilion is a large wooden cross that claims to be the one planted by famed explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. The cross signifies the propagation of the Roman Catholic faith in the Philippines. It is said that the original cross is encased in another wooden cross for protection.

4) Basilica del Sto Niño Museum

Basilica del Sto Nino Museum

Inside the Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño you will see a small museum that records the history of Christianity in Cebu.  Within the museum displays various antique objects, century-old furnitures, old artifacts of Sto. Niño, collection of velvet, accessories, priestly garments, and the old cloaks of Sto. Niño donated over the centuries. There are also items that was donated by the devotees such as the holy rosary, photos, different kind of money currency, jewelries, and many more. But just a remind, taking pictures and videos inside is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

Entrance Fee:

Adult- Php 30 | Children/Senior Citizen – Php 10 | Student – Php 15

5) Sirao Flower Garden

Cebu City Tours - Sirao Garden

This is the farthest destination for our itinerary but wouldn’t want to miss it. Opened last 2015 and it gained popularity in social media of course. They called it the little Amsterdam of Cebu city known as Sirao Garden.

When we went to this flower farm, the flowers just started blooming/growing. It’s not the same as the once we saw online but still it was beautiful. For an entrance fee of only P30.00 per person, it’s totally worth it. The beautiful flowers, the garden setup, and the mountain view makes it worth the long trip. A perfect place for selfies and even for pre-nuptial photoshoot.

They said the best time to visit is during its peak season. So, it’s either April – May or October – November. That’s the time where the whole place is filled with almost human-sized flowers.

6) Tops Lookout (Top of Cebu)

Cebu city tours - Tops Lookout

Tops Lookout is considered one of the most overrated tourist spot in Cebu city. On our way there, we can already see the city. You have to pay an entrance fee of Php 100 each and see the wonderful view inside.

Since we arrived there lunch time, we won’t be able to see the spectacular city lights. Seeing the city from the top makes you realize how big it is. We can see Cebu, Mactan and even Bohol from there.

I was here back in 2011 and I remember the big old bell but now it’s no longer in there. So we just had our lunch, get a panoramic view of the city, enjoy the fresh air, and of course we took a lot of pictures.

7) Temple of Leah

Cebu City Tours - Temple of Leah

Reported as Philippines version of India’s famous Taj Mahal, a mesmerizing work of art as a symbol of one man’s undying love to his beloved wife. Back in 2012, a business tycoon Teodorico Adarna – the grandfather of the sexy actress Ellen Adarna, built a temple for her beloved wife for 53 years namely Leah V. Albino-Adarna.

For only Php 50 you can step inside the temple and feel like you are being transported into a European haven. Located at Roosevelt Street, Barangay Busay, Cebu City. Park freely outside the premises, but there’s limited slots only. Juts pay Php 100 if you want to parked inside Temple of Leah. And it’s open 24 hours and 7 days a week.

8) Taoist Temple

Cebu City Tours - Taoist Temple

Lastly, we visited Cebu Taoist Temple which is situated inside Beverly Hills Subdivision, Cebu, Philippines. Built in 1972 by a group of Chinese community, this temple is elevated over 300 meters above the sea level.

It is open to both worshippers and non-worshippers from 8am-5pm. The devotees usually pray to the Gods to grant their wishes and ask for guidance in decision making in their life. Enjoy the view of Cebu city while you’re there. It is free to go inside but you can’t take pictures inside the temple.

These are just 8 of the many places you can visit in Cebu. Learn about the history, culture and enjoy the wonderful experience Cebu has to offer.
