Best Cebu Tour Packages

The  name “ Cebu ” comes from the old Cebuano term “sibu” or “sibo,” which means “trade” and is a short form of sinibuayng hingpit, which means “trading town.” It was first used to refer to the harbors of Sugbu, Cebu City’s ancient name. From the 13th to the 16th centuries, merchants used several spellings of the word, including Sebu, Sibuy, Zubu, and Zebu. Sugbu, or Sugbo, is a Cebuano term that means “scorched soil” or “huge fire.” Cebu, where  Ferdinand Magellan  arrived during his first voyage of the archipelago, is well-known.

Aside from the well-known attractions like Magellan’s Cross and the Basilica de Sto. Nino, Cebu, offers a diverse range of tourist attractions.

The Cebu Cathedral, Plaza Independencia, Top of Cebu, Fort San Pedro, Lapu-Lapu Shrine, Magellan’s Cross, Cebu Heritage Monument, Taoist Temple, Temple of Leah, Sirao Flower Farm, Kawasan Falls, Sumilon Island, Simala Shrine, and activities such as the  Oslob Whale Shark Encounter ,  Canyoneering Adventure , Moalboal, and Mactan Island Hopping, among others, have all been added as Cebu’s best tourist attractions and activities.

15 BEST South Cebu Tourist Spots – Ultimate 2024 Guide

South Cebu boasts epic waterfalls, panoramic viewpoints, swimming with whale sharks, and much more!

I have put together this complete guide of 15 Best South Cebu Tourist Spots including where to find them and what to expect at each one.

Also in this guide, I’ve included useful information on how to get to South Cebu, where to stay in South Cebu, how to get around, and the best time to visit.

Table of Contents

OVERVIEW – SOUTH CEBU TOURIST SPOTS

Let’s start this complete guide with all the essentials, such as getting to South Cebu, how to get around once you’re there, and more.

SOUTH CEBU TOURIST SPOTS MAP

Click here or on the image below for an interactive map of South Cebu.

HOW TO GET TO SOUTH CEBU?

The best way how to get to South Cebu is from Cebu City to Moalboal on the public bus from South Cebu Bus Terminal in Cebu City.

There are hourly departures to Moalboal from South Cebu Bus Terminal starting as early as 5 am.

From Cebu City to South Cebu the journey time is around 3 to 4 hours on the bus and the cost is between 150-200 pesos.

How to get from A to B, stress-free!

HOW TO GET AROUND SOUTH CEBU?

There are a couple of options on how to get around and they are by scooter, habal habal (motorbike taxi), tricycle, and jeepney.

You can rent a scooter in Moalboal for as little as 300 pesos per day and make your own way around all of the attractions.

If you are not confident driving a scooter, the other option is to ride in a jeepney, tricycle, or habal habal, and the driver will know where to go in South Cebu.

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT CEBU?

The best time to visit Cebu, weather-wise, is between April and July when temperatures are hot and there is barely any rainfall.

This is also high season in Cebu, so expect to see many tourists during these months.

I recommend visiting Cebu on the shoulder months of the high season between November and March which sees a bit of rainfall but usually only lasts for a couple of hours and the rest of the day is sunny.

Try to avoid the typhoon season in Cebu which is between August and October.

15 TOURIST SPOTS IN SOUTH CEBU

Ready to know what to do in South Cebu? Let’s now discuss the best South Cebu tourist spots to make the most of your time while on the island.

This list is a mix of active things to do, chill spots to relax, and island hopping to see some of the best places in the Philippines. Let’s go!

KAWASAN FALLS CANYONEERING

Kawasan Falls Canyoneering in Badian is without a doubt the most popular South Cebu tourist spot!

A visit to Kawasan Falls is the most adrenaline-pumping adventure to be had in the Philippines.

Whether it’s your first time canyoneering or not, the Kawasan Falls experience is not to be missed on your South Cebu itinerary!

Kawasan Falls is located just 45 minutes drive from Moalboal in South Cebu.

I recommend pre-booking a  Kawasan Falls Tour Package online with Viator which includes return transfers from your accommodation in Moalboal so you won’t need to worry about the logistics.

Upon arriving at the Kawasan Canyoneering Headquarters, we met our guide Raul who got us fitted into the required safety equipment such as water shoes, life jackets, and helmets.

We took a ride on the back of a motorbike to the top of the mountain and before we knew it we were completely submerged in the first rock pool.

Soon after, Raul made us sit down at the edge of a one-meter cliff before he gently pushed us backward over a small set of falls into another rock pool below.

At this point, I knew we were in for an epic adventure!

We then continued navigating our way through knee-deep water that was as clear as crystal. The water trail took us through some amazing caves and natural rock slides.

There were also numerous cliff jumps ranging anywhere from three meters up to fourteen meters.

Do note that if you are afraid of heights you’ve always got the option to walk around the cliffs instead of jumping.

When you reach the end of the canyon it will bring you to the  famous Kawasan Falls .

You can spend as much time as you like at this tourist spot in Cebu South as there are about five different levels of waterfalls and several big cliff jumps to keep you entertained.

KAWASAN FALLS CANYONEERING TOUR

The best way to visit is to join the Kawasan Falls and Canyoneering Day Tour !

It includes transportation, lunch, all fees, snorkeling with sharks, the Sumilon Sandbar, and a fun guide!

OSMENA PEAK 

Osmeña Peak is most famous for being the highest point on Cebu Island and one of the must-see places to visit in South Cebu!

Due to Osmeña Peak being so popular, the best time to visit is early in the morning for sunrise, and this way you will beat the crowds.

If you would like to book a tour to Osmena Peak there is one that I can highly recommend which also includes the famous Kawasan Falls.

It’s a full-day tour that starts in Cebu City with a hotel pick-up, a guided tour to Osmena Peak plus Kawasan Falls, and then returning back to Cebu City.

If you visit Osmena Peak without a tour the entrance fee is 30 pesos. From the jump-off point, the hike to Osmena Peak is a short fifteen to twenty minutes along a narrow, rocky path passing by thinly forested areas and farmer’s crops.

What can you expect at Osmena Peak? One of the most beautiful Cebu south tourist spots… that’s what!!

At 1,013 meters above sea level, Osmena Peak boasts panoramic views of the coastlines on both sides of South Cebu and of course, the most fascinating hill formations that you will have likely never seen before.

These interesting rocks, hills, peaks, whatever you want to call them are other-worldly and it boggles me as to how they came to be.

From the summit of Osmena, these dominant peaks are seemingly endless as they stretch across the land like the spine of a Stegosaurus dinosaur.

Some say these rolling hills are reminiscent of the Chocolate Hills in Bohol as the landscape is quite similar, though each of these spots is unique to its location.

In the deep valleys below Osmena Peak in Cebu, you can see vividly green fields of farmer’s crops and on a clear day, you can spot the neighboring islands of Negros and Bohol.

Full Blog Post → Osmena Peak

CASINO PEAK

Another tourist spot Cebu South offer is the Casino Peak hike, often referred to as Lugsangan Peak, is an underrated South Cebu tourist spot.

If you are planning to visit Osmena Peak, I highly recommend taking the time to check out Casino Peak as well. Chances are you might even like this viewpoint better and I guarantee there will be fewer people at Lugsangan Peak, with a view that is equally as amazing!

After you pay the 30 pesos entrance fee, It’s a short ten-minute hike to the summit of Casino Peak where you’ll be welcomed with panoramic views of nearby rolling hills and pristine coastline below.

Along the trail, you’ll likely see some goats grazing in the long grass and when you reach the plateau at the top, there is a crop field with many rows of cabbages which I later found out belonged to the landowners.

You may think you have arrived at the top when you reach this point of the trek and I also thought the same because the trail isn’t clearly marked.

However, continue navigating your way around the rocky outcrop on the right-hand side and you’ll find the path to the Casino Peak summit.

The last section of the hike is a bit of a scramble up the rocks where we had to get our hands dirty but it was all worth it when we reached the summit of Casino Peak!

I must admit, I have never seen a viewpoint quite like the one from Casino Peak and I highly recommend adding it to your list of South Cebu tourist spots to see!

There is a narrow ridge along the top of Casino Peak that you can walk across but do so at your own risk and please watch your step.

Have you got travel insurance for your trip?!

We all know accidents can happen and having Heymondo Insurance will save you thousands of dollars if something goes wrong.

Heymondo offers low-cost Travel Insurance to keep you covered on all your adventures.

BINALAYAN HIDDEN FALLS

Binalayan Falls, also referred to as Binalayan Hidden Falls, is one of the best Cebu waterfalls and I highly recommend adding it to your list!

Binalayan Falls is located in Samboan in South Cebu. From Oslob, it’s a 30-minute drive and from Moalboal it’s approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes drive to reach Binalayan Falls.

There are half a dozen waterfalls in Samboan, South Cebu so if you plan it right you can visit more than one waterfall in one day.

An ideal one-day South Cebu itinerary from Moalboal is to first visit Aguinid Falls, secondly Binalayan Hidden Waterfalls, and thirdly Dau Falls.

The Binalayan Falls entrance fee is 60 pesos which includes a guide and there is also a 10 pesos parking fee. Tipping your guide is completely up to you, but somewhere between 50–100 pesos would do.

There are a number of water crossings on the way to the main set of falls at Binalayan so it’s best to wear a pair of water shoes or flip-flops because your feet will get wet.

The first tier at Binalayan Falls features a shallow crystalline rock pool, a rest area with some make-shift benches and a tire swing hung from a tree.

It’s definitely worth taking a short break here in this tranquil little section of the trek.

The main falls at Binalayan Waterfall boast a 50ft tall rock face and the flow of water is divided into three separate streams that fill the basin beneath.

There is a cave behind the falls from which you can climb up and jump, but it’s best to let your guide go first to show you how it’s done.

The water is around two meters deep so I wouldn’t recommend diving headfirst. I touched the sandy bottom with my feet when I jumped, even with my knees bent.

There is also a range of cliff-jumping spots on the left-hand side of the falls, but even this is a bit sketchy due to the pool below being relatively shallow.

Only jump from a height you feel comfortable with, even if the guide encourages you to jump from a higher level just say no.

Apart from cliff jumping, you can hang out in the crystalline waters at the base of Binalayan Falls and explore the natural caves behind the falls.

SWIMMING WITH WHALE SHARKS

Swimming with whale sharks is the main tourist attraction in South Cebu. Even though it’s a controversial activity it is also a very unique experience.

The Oslob Whale Shark experience is rated as one of the best places to swim with whale sharks in the Philippines.

I personally booked my  Cebu Whale Shark Tour online in advance with Viator.

This particular tour is the most top-rated Oslob Whale Shark Tour in Cebu with great reviews.

Every morning between the hours of 6 am and 12 pm, local Filipino fishermen feed the whale sharks close to the shore.

Small wooden boats then chauffeur tourists out to where it’s possible to jump in the water and swim with the whale sharks.

The Oslob whale shark watching area is no further than 50 meters from the beach. Before you know it you will arrive at the designated spot and the boatman will tell you to jump into the water.

As soon as you dive off the boat you will encounter these beautiful gentle giants face to face just beneath the surface.

A common question that gets asked is if it’s safe to go swimming with whale sharks in Cebu and the answer is Yes, 100%.

Even though whale sharks are the biggest fish in the ocean that can grow up to 32ft and weigh 200 tonnes, they are very humble creatures and there’s nothing to be afraid of.

The Cebu whale sharks activity has been controversial since it started. I would much rather see the whale sharks in their natural habitat without the feeding of them and without crowds of tourists.

However, the community in Oslob seems to be working hard to control and educate the crowds, and limit impacts on the whale sharks.

Full Blog Post → Swimming With Whale Sharks In Cebu

SUMILON ISLAND

Sumilon Island is yet another one of the best South Cebu tourist spots just 20 minutes by boat from Oslob. It’s the best day trip or overnight stay you can do when exploring South Cebu.

The only access to Sumilon Island is by boat which departs daily from Mainland Bancogon in Oslob to Sumilon Island at 8:00 am, 9:30 am, and 11:00 am.

The return boat from Sumilon Island to Mainland Bancogo departs at 12:00 pm, 1:30 pm, 3:30 pm, and 5:00 pm.

I recommend purchasing the Bluewater Sumilon Day Pass online in advance with Viator which gives you access to all of the facilities at Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort such as the infinity pool, private beach area, freshwater lagoon, and restaurant.

The Bluewater Sumilon Day Pass also includes other activities on Sumilon Island such as snorkeling, Sumilon sandbar, hiking trails, and return boat transfers from Oslob.

If you wish to spend a night on Sumilon Island, there is only one accommodation on the island and that is the Bluewater Sumilon Island Resort .

This 4-star resort features its very own private beach, a freshwater lagoon, an outdoor infinity pool, 2 restaurants, glamping tents, beachside cottages, and private villas!

The Sumilon Island sandbar is the most iconic attraction on the island and the best spot to watch the sunset!

There was only one other couple on the Sumilon sandbar when I arrived, and that was it. Sumilon Island really proves itself as one of the best-kept Cebu tourist spots!

Sumilon Island sandbar is best visited at low tide when there is more exposed sand, though it is also just as good on high tide in my opinion.

Fine white sand and crystalline waters are what make the Sumilon sandbar so pristine.

Definitely stick around on the Sumilon sandbar for sunset because as I said earlier it’s the best location on the island to watch the last rays of the sun as it sets over the horizon.

Capture All Your Adventures!

I’m sure y’all know by now that GoPro’s are arguably the best action cameras on the planet!

The new GoPro HERO 11 boasts 5.3K video, 27MP photo, HyperSmooth stabilization, and waterproof up to 10m!

My visit to Dao Falls in Samboan was  low-key one of the best adventures I had in South Cebu and I highly recommend adding this epic South Cebu tourist spot to your list of places to visit!

So what is so unique about Dao Waterfall? Well, to start with, it is recognized as the tallest set of falls in the Samboan region and secondly, the jungle trail trek to get to the main set of falls is an epic adventure in itself. Convinced?!

The entrance fee to Dao Falls is 60 pesos which includes a guide and the parking fee is an additional 10 pesos.

Trekking to Dau Falls from the parking lot takes around twenty to thirty minutes including stops for photos. It isn’t a difficult trek by any means though do note that your feet will get wet along this jungle trail.

In most parts, it requires walking through knee-deep water and I recommend bringing a pair of  slip-on waterproof shoes  for these sections.

The first part of the trek to Dao Falls is a concrete staircase with around 200 steps that leads directly down into the valley and once you reach the bottom, this is where the real adventure begins!

An impressive bamboo suspension bridge surrounded by coconut palms stretches across the river and on the other side is the beginning of the jungle trail to Dau Waterfall.

Vines cover the canyon walls and blue Gatorade-colored waters cascade seamlessly past us as we navigated our way toward Dao Waterfall.

The adventurous hike to Dao Falls, in my opinion, is what makes this Cebu south tourist spot so unique.

There are many turquoise rock pools along the way that are well worth stopping at for a quick dip and this is where you’ll likely get your best photos.

When you reach the top you’ll be graced with the epic sight of Dao Falls which towers 50 meters tall above the large catch basin.

The pools at the base of the falls aren’t quite as blue as the ones on the way up but it is still a worthy spot for a swim to cool off after the hike.

The BEST Hotel in South Cebu

Need a place to stay? Dolphin House Resort is conveniently located in Moalboal.

Whether you’re here to explore the sights or relax in comfort, Dolphin House Resort is a great option.

AGUINID FALLS

Aguinid Falls Cebu is one of the  most unique and exciting waterfalls in South Cebu. The multi-tiered Aguinid Falls is one heck of an adventure.

It’s not quite as popular as Kawasan Falls just up the road, but the word is spreading quickly about this awesome tourist destination in Cebu that supports eco-tourism.

Aguinid Falls is located in the small village of Samboan in South Cebu. From Oslob, it’s a 30-minute drive and from Moalboal it’s approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes drive to reach Aguinid Falls.

The entrance fee to Aguinid Falls is 300 pesos which includes compulsory safety equipment (wet shoes, helmet, and life jacket), two guides, and also the tip for the guides.

It’s definitely not the cheapest Cebu waterfall I’ve been to but the money spent was well worth the adventure!

As I mentioned earlier, Aguinid Falls in Cebu is a multi-tiered waterfall with eight levels of falls to be exact. Eight freakin’ waterfalls, can you believe it?!

Although the locals say there are eight levels of falls, only six levels are currently accessible as they are still working to improve the trail to the higher levels.

This is not your typical waterfall where you take a short trek in, go for a dip and take photos, but rather an epic and very physical adventure that involves jumping, climbing ropes, and navigating your way through the cascading falls.

It took us around two hours to complete the Aguinid Falls tour but that included many stops to take photos. For the average person, it would take around one hour from start to finish.

Keep Yo’ Sh*t Organized!

Packing cubes are a traveler’s best friend, perfect for organizing your shirts, pants, underwear, and more!

Shacke Pak Cubes make packing easier and leaves extra space in your bag to fit more essentials.

INAMBAKAN FALLS

Inambakan Falls in Ginatilan is at the top of my best Cebu waterfalls list for a couple of good reasons!

One is the blue Gatorade-colored springs and jungle surrounds at this location and two is because there are multiple levels at Inambakan Falls which makes this one of the most epic South Cebu tourist spots to explore.

Inambakan Falls is located in the small village of Ginatilan in South Cebu. The falls are best visited from the nearby beach town of Oslob, which is approximately a 45-minute drive.

You can also visit Inambakan Falls from Moalboal and this drive takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes.

The entrance fee at Inambakan Falls is 50 pesos and an additional 10 pesos for parking.

The hike down to the main falls takes no more than 5 minutes from the jump-off point and the trail winds upstream until it emerges at the base of the 100-foot-tall Inambakan Falls.

My favorite feature of Inambakan Falls is the milky blue pool of water in the catch basin which gets its color from the limestone cliffs that surround the falls.

Once you’ve taken a dip in the milky blue waters at the main set of falls, continue hiking along the trail and up the stairs to the next few levels of these Ginatilan Falls.

You can stop in at the second level of Inambakan which features a shallow rock pool right at the top of the main set of falls.

The level up from here was my favorite because there are several cliff-jumping spots into a number of refreshing rock pools.

Continuing on, I followed the trail up a little higher to the top level of Inambakan Falls which features a large swimming hole and more cliff-jumping spots.

The lush jungle that surrounds the area contrasts beautifully with the water and adds to the tranquility of this epic South Cebu tourist spot.

TUMALOG FALLS

Tumalog Falls in Oslob is one of the most popular tourist spots on the island!

A visit to Tumalog Falls is typically combined with the Oslob Whale Shark Tour which is another great activity you can add to your itinerary!

There is one tour that I can recommend which is a full-day trip from Cebu City and it includes swimming with whale sharks in Oslob and a visit to Tumalog Falls.

The Tumalog Falls entrance fee is 50 pesos if you plan to visit without a tour and the opening times are Monday to Sunday from 6 am to 5 pm.

Tumalog Falls is quite unique, featuring a mellow curtain of water falling down the face of a monolithic limestone cliff. There is a large swimming area at the base of the falls where you can take a dip to cool off.

The color of the water in the basin is that classic milky blue tinge that the Philippines is most famous for!

Tumalog Falls Oslob is surrounded by tall bamboo and mossy walls adding to the jungle vibes that you will find here.

A large cave can also be found on the left-hand side of the falls if you wish to explore deeper and get another cool perspective of Tumalog Falls from inside.

There are change rooms and toilet facilities for guests to use and also a small sari sari store if you wish to buy some water and light snacks.

I recommend spending around 1 hour at Tumalog Waterfalls before continuing, as it’s arguably the best place to unwind in Cebu South.

Full Blog Post → Tumalog Falls

SWIM WITH SARDINES IN MOALBOAL

Another incredible tourist spot in South Cebu is the Sardine Run in Moalboal is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and not to be missed!

Imagine swimming with millions of flashing silver sardines as they circulate around you in an almost hypnotic spectacle.

The Sardine Run is located in Moalboal in South Cebu and the schools of fish can be found just a stone’s throw from the shoreline on the edge of the reef.

A common spot where the sardines gather is just offshore from Panagsama Beach, the main beach in Moalboal.

To go swimming with the sardines all you need to do is rent a mask and snorkel from your accommodation or from a store in town and swim out just 30-50 meters to where you will find the masses of sardines swimming around.

The sardines move around in spherical shapes known as bait balls to trick their predators and they tend to stick close to the surface where the water temperature is warmer.

They might be intimidating and scary at first but all you need to do is relax and marvel at the sardines as they move around in large schools.

Swimming with the sardines in Moalboal is one of the best South Cebu tourist attractions not to be missed!

WHITE BEACH MOALBOAL

If you’re in Cebu to chill, White Beach Moalboal is definitely one place to add to your itinerary.

This stunning stretch of coastline is just a short 15-minute drive from Moalboal, and it’s the perfect place to catch a spectacular sunset.

While it can get pretty busy on the weekends with both locals and tourists, there’s more than enough sand to go around. And if you want to avoid the crowds, just head there on a weekday.

While you’re there, be sure to check out the locals selling souvenirs and sea urchins. But there’s plenty to do besides just soaking up the sun.

You can swim, paddleboard, and snorkel in the water – How cool does that sound?

Also, it’s worth noting that there are several hotels near White Beach in Moalboal, so why not stay for the night and see the sunset after a day exploring around?

I personally recommend Bonita Oasis Beach Resort , which is just a few minutes away and is modern, clean, and has a delicious breakfast in the morning! How’s that for a tourist spot South Cebu?

Next up is Bojo River and Hermit’s Cove in Aloguinsan, but let me tell you about the river first and then the cove in the next section.

This natural paradise is a bit of a drive, about an hour north of Moalboal. And here’s a little secret: since it’s farther north than most South Cebu tourist spots, it makes for an easy day trip from Cebu City, only a four-hour round trip.

The Bojo River project is an eco-friendly mangrove, with a grand entrance along a bamboo boardwalk through dense Nipa palms.

The entrance fee is 400 pesos per person, and that includes a river tour with a local guide. Alternatively, you can get the premium package for 750 pesos per person and that includes lunch, the river tour, and endless laughter!

What I like about this Southern Cebu tourist spot is that the guide explains everything about the mangrove, from the fish and birds to the mangrove and the project itself.

After the boat ride, you’ll head to Hermit’s Cove, a stunning beach not far from the mangrove.

All in all, this is one of the best things to do in South Cebu!

HERMIT’S COVE

Picture this: A hidden gem of a beach, with turquoise waters that reveal an underwater paradise of corals.

That’s what you’ll find at Hermit’s Cove, a secluded spot to the left of the Bojo River mouth.

The adventure to get there is half the fun, as you can either visit at the end of your Bojo River cruise or hike down from the hilltop.

Once you arrive, you’ll see picnic huts where you can have a snack (there are plenty of sellers around, in case you didn’t have lunch at the Bojo River) and relax.

The catch? It gets pretty crowded no matter the time of the day you visit, which isn’t great but you still get to enjoy.

Also, keep in mind that the coral is pretty sharp, so the beach isn’t the best for swimming, but you can definitely stay and work on your tan!

MANTAYUPAN FALLS

When it comes to waterfalls, bigger is always better, and Mantayupan Falls in Barili definitely lives up to that expectation.

At almost 100 metres tall, this towering waterfall is the tallest in all of Cebu, making it a must-see when exploring South Cebu.

Best of all, it’s super accessible, so you don’t have to hike for hours like on Casino or Osmena Peak. From the entrance, it’s only a short stroll before you’re standing at the edge of the base.

Also, it’s relatively cheap all in all, as the entrance fee costs 200 pesos per person, and that includes the parking, a life jacket and the conservation fee.

Note that wearing a life jacket is mandatory if you take a dip.

Apart from that, there’s an on-site restaurant where you can order local Filipino dishes, and that is great if you plan to spend a couple of hours or more here!

WHERE TO STAY IN SOUTH CEBU

The best area to stay to visit all of the tourist spots in the South of Cebu is Moalboal which is located on the South East Coast of Cebu Island.

Moalboal has hundreds of accommodation options to choose from, so I have narrowed it down to a few of the best places to stay to fit the needs of budget backpackers, luxury travelers, and everyone in between.

See the list of accommodations below that I personally recommend before of after enjoying all the tourist spots in Cebu South:

Luxury: Dolphin House Resort Moalboal

Dolphin House is the best luxury accommodation in Moalboal, located a stone’s throw away from the ocean. Features included a pool, a restaurant and bar, free wifi, and ocean views.

There are double rooms, triple rooms, family rooms, and bungalows available at Dolphin House Resort.

It’s recommended for families, friends, or couples looking for a luxurious stay.

Mid Range: Pescadores Seaview Suites

One of the most recommended places to stay in Moalboal, Pescadores Suites offers double rooms, twin rooms, and a garden villa.

There is an outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace, restaurant, mini-market, table tennis, billiards, board games, karaoke room, and wellness spa.

It’s a great place to stay for friends or couples.

Guest Reviews

Had a tour organized by GoCebu Tours and Transport today, Dec. 28, 2022 🙂

Traveled with my friend & we got a private tour. It was on time & very sulit. Our driver/guide, Kuya Genjun, was very accommodating & kind. Would 100% recommend having the tours with him! He was very helpful & trustworthy! 🙂

Overall had a great time & would definitely book with them again in the future when we’re back.

It is very recommended. Kuya marvin arrived on time in our hotel. He was very polite to us, and he was very entertaining. He became our driver/tour guide/photographer. He taught us how to pose to get a beautiful angle in our pictures. He was very kind. He taught us where to eat our lunch, and where to buy affordable pasalubongs. Our entire travel in cebu was a lot of fun. Me and my friends are very happy and satisfied because of your agency. Thank you so much. More power to you Kuya Marvin and to the company.

The tour was smooth and hassle free. Our driver( Kuya ben) was friendly and we had a great time in our Oslob tour. Our time was flexible, just tell them your flight departure, to let you customize your tour in their ptivate tour option.

Cebu was one of the happiest day of my life. From day one till the end of the tour, everything was seamless. Extra props to our driver/guide who took pictures better than us and the rest of #TeamGoCebu who made our Cebu tour possible and memorable 🙂 Hit them up and experience it for yourself 🤙

I just wanted to take the time to leave a review because I had such a great experience. I did the canyoneering, turtle encounter and sardine run experience leaving from Cebu city. My driver Enriko Dave Hortezuela, he honestly deserves five out of five stars he was absolutely fantastic and ensured I was well taken care of the entire day! As a solo female traveller I was a bit nervous to do the tour on my own but Enriko made the whole experience stress free and enjoyable!

In addition to this, he took me to canyoneering first which was amazing because there were way less tourists and it wasn’t too hot yet at 9:00am! We went to the turtle and sardine run second in the afternoon at 1:00pm, and because the tide was high I saw two turtles! The turtle guide said all the tourists who came in the morning missed seeing the turtles because it was low tide! I am incredibly grateful Enriko switched around the activities and made canyoneering first and turtle/sardine run second!

I cannot recommend Enriko enough he made my day wonderful and I hope heaps of other tourists get to have amazing day trips with him like I did!

South Cebu Backpacking 2022 | DIY Itinerary and Breakdown of Expenses

The island province of Cebu is definitely a destination worth visiting over and over again! Beyond question, Cebu is nothing short of a wondrous masterpiece with its countless natural attractions, exciting adventures, insta-worthy places, unique food experiences, great people, and more! That’s why it’s not surprising that Cebu has been in the international spotlight as it once again made it to the list of the World’s Best Islands !

Just recently, we took the opportunity to revisit Cebu when my sis-in-law (who just passed the Architecture licensure exams and wanted to celebrate) requested to see Whalesharks up-close and personal. A great chance also for us to cover some places we haven’t been to yet! This trip is semi-spontaneous — we only had roundtrip plane tickets booked online and a draft itinerary that only got altered right on the spot (because of delayed flight!).

We were supposed to go straight to Oslob for whaleshark watching at 9 am (it is until 12 noon only). Since our flight got delayed, we decided to start with Badian, then Moalboal, then Oslob, before we head back to Cebu City.

Now, let me share you our actual itinerary. This is exactly how our trip went!

Read about Sirao Garden tour here.

Note: This was our second time in Cebu. I will also write a post for first timer’s guide about best places to visit in Cebu with itinerary and travel guide soon!

Let me also share with you our original (draft) itinerary. If there was no delay in our flight, this could have happened:

Day 1: Oslob Whaleshark | Sumilon Island Day 2: Kawasan Canyoneering | Moalboal Sardines Run | Pawikan Site | White Beach Day 3: Sirao Garden | Temple of Leah

In short, we only missed Temple of Leah because of delayed flight. Not that bad though.

Breakdown of Expenses

Note: This is not a pocket-friendly trip. You can lower down the cost significantly by opting for cheaper accommodations like Fan Rooms (our li’l sis can’t sleep without AC), and by not opting for chartered tricycles and taxis (our li’l sis brought her whole bedroom in her maleta 😂 so we had to lessen the hassle of commuting). Another factor is that a group of 3 people is not the best number for travels like this (a habal-habal is for 2pax, a taxi for 4pax, a tricycle for 4pax). Also, we felt like splurging a little bit for food in this trip (for an unknown reason 😅), so take that also into consideration. You can still use this budget breakdown as reference.

I did not include the roundtrip plane tickets because we differ in cost. Diane’s ticket is in regular rate (around 4,200 roundtrip), and for me and Jec we used our Cebu Pacific vouchers that were about to expire (we spent around 6,000 roundtrip for 2pax).

Hi, I'm Dea! A traveler who loves good food and an electronics engineer based in PH. I like creating itineraries and daydreaming about the places. As weird as it might sound, I find the planning part as enjoyable as the trip itself. I love sunsets, beaches, and staycation trips. And I'm a worshipper of God—the source of my everything! I once wandered aimlessly in life, until Jesus found me! Now, I just wander around wonderful places as I marvel at His creation ❤️

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

• 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.

8. Mactan Island Hopping Day Tour

Island hopping is one of the best things to do in Mactan Island . The Mactan Island Hopping Day Tour brings you to the popular islands around Mactan, including Pandanon Island, Hilutungan Island, and Nalusuan Island. These islands have rich marine ecosystems, perfect for snorkeling and diving, as well as white sandbars, perfect for frolicking on the beach.

9. Pescador Island Hopping Tour

If you are looking for a private tour of Pescador Island, check out the Pescador Island Hopping Tour . 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.

10. Cebu City Private Day Tour with Simala Shrine

For Catholic devotees who would like a day tour around Cebu City with a side trip to Simala Shrine, the Cebu City Private Day Tour with Simala Shrine is perfect. Visit Magellan’s Cross, Temple of Leah, Basilica del Santo Niño, and Fort San Pedro—some of the most historic sites in the city. Afterward, head to Simala Shrine, formally known as the Monastery of the Holy Eucharist, a Roman Catholic pilgrimage dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Sibonga.
