Cebu
Cebu is both an island and the name of the Philippines second city. Being from Cebu (a Cebuano) confers some kudos within the Philippines for being somewhat cultured.
The island is famous for guitar making. For visitors, Mactan Island is both home to the airport and some of the better resorts. There are direct flights from Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur into Cebu, which is also a gateway for nearby Bohol.
Cebu offers some excellent diving and year-round whale shark viewing. Cebu City itself has a few cultural attractions and offers an insight into urban Philippines with fewer of the rough edges of Manila.

Bohol Day Tour
See the best of Bohol in a day. Enjoy a Full Day tour from Cebu to neighbouring Bohol. See the famous Tarsiers (tiny primates), the famous Chocolate Hills and enjoy a lunch cruise along the beautiful Loboc River.
From Cebu, take a one-and-half-hour ferry ride to Tagbilaran in Bohol. Drive through scenic countryside of thick nipa palms, coconut plantations and mahogany forest to the town of Carmen. Visit the Tarsier Sanctuary and walk through its natural habitat.
Visit Bohol's famous Chocolate Hills and go up to the highest point. The Chocolate Hills consist of 1,268 haycock hills with heights ranging from 40-120 metres. During the summer, the dome-shaped grass-covered limestone hills dry up and turn brown, transforming the area into rows and rows of chocolate 'kisses'.
Next board a river 'raft' and enjoy a typical Boholano country lunch while cruising the Loboc River. These river 'rafts' are actually restaurants that consist of two banka-hulls, over which a large wooden platform is placed. On this platform, numerous tables are placed, and a band plays music.
As the boat departs, the buffet of Filipino countryside fare is served. After lunch, return to the port for the ferry back to Cebu. En-route to the port, visit the Baclayon Church & Museum and the marker commemorating Sikatuna and Legaspi’s blood compact (an important memorial of Filipino history).
Return to Cebu later in the afternoon and back to your hotel.
This is a Full Day excursion on a join-in basis.
