Best time to visit Cebu
The best time to visit Cebu is during the dry season from November to May. The rainy season is from June to October, so expect a lot of rain.
One of the biggest festivals in Cebu is the Sinulog Festival. So, if you want to experience this celebration, the best time to visit Cebu is in January. The festival is celebrated every 3rd Sunday of January.
How to get to Cebu from Manila
The easiest way to go to Cebu from Manila is by air. You can choose from three different airlines: Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and Philippine AirAsia. Each airline offers a flexible flight schedule; there are more than 30 flights per day. You can find the cheapest flights available on Skyscanner.
If you don’t want to travel by air, you can travel by sea via 2GO Travel. Since the total travel time is 21 hours, you would need to book accommodation which ranges from PHP 2,000 to PHP 5,000.
Arrival at Mactan-Cebu International Airport
Traveling from Manila to Cebu only takes at least 1 – 1.5 hours depending on your airline. When you plan your itinerary, always give a 1 to 2 hours allowance after your expected arrival time to make up for the unexpected delays.
You can travel to Cebu City using public transportation or you can book a private transfer to your hotel.
Where to stay in Cebu
You can stay in Cebu City during your entire stay, or you can stay at different hotels in each destination. Since the traffic in Cebu is heavy also, we decided to book hotels in each destination so we can save time from traveling back and forth.
Here are the hotels we stayed at during our stay in Cebu for 4 days:
- Allson’s Inn in Cebu City – PHP 800 per night
- Marina Village Resort in Moalboal – PHP 2,000 per night
- Crown Regency Hotel & Towers – PHP 2,500 per night

Where to eat in Cebu
One reason to visit Cebu is its food! Eat your heart out and don’t miss out on its famous lechon (roast pig). Some famous restaurants to each lechon are Rico’s Lechon, Zubuchon, and House of Lechon.
If you want to eat street food that offers varieties of seafood and BBQ, then you should eat at Larsian!
Want to try some unique restaurants? You can try The Pyramid, wine & dine restaurant that mimics the Louvre of France.
Dreaming of seeing the 20,000 lighted rose garden display in Dongdaemun, South Korea? Cebu has one also! You should visit 10,000 Rose Cafe that’s inspired by the rose garden in Korea.

You can create your own itinerary for more flexibility and so you can customize the places you want to visit. But, if you want to book a tour package, then I definitely recommend Happy Juanderer Travel Inc.!
Our group booked our tour with them & we only have positive feedback.
Day 1: Canyoneering, Kawasan Falls, and Moalboal Island Hopping
Canyoneering to Kawasan Falls
Badian, Cebu is approximately 115 KM from the city. Travel time will usually take 3 to 3.5 hours depending on the traffic; this could be a perfect time to rest. So, grab something to eat or bring food. Also, make sure you are fully rested (which is tough given the departure time) because this activity challenges you more than you expected!
Upon arrival at Badian, you will get some time to prepare (and back out from this activity). You need to wear a helmet, aqua shoes/rubber shoes, and a life vest before going to the starting point of canyoneering via habal-habal (motorcycle taxi ride). The ride consists of 2 passengers, so make sure you ask your crush to ride with you beforehand!
If you don’t have shoes with you, you can rent for PHP 50 only. I don’t recommend wearing slippers in this activity.
Tips on canyoneering activity
- I recommend that you wear your swimwear before arriving.
- You can leave your bags inside your car or shuttle.
- Bring cash so you can buy food. You can find a barbeque area halfway canyoneering.
- There’s a habal-habal ride to the starting point of canyoneering.
Related: Canyoneering to Kawasan Falls
After all that crazy adventure, you will see the Kawasan Falls! It is such a beauty & it was so crowded also. We arrived there to rest & have lunch before we travel to Moalboal.
Unfortunately, I left my camera in the car so I didn’t have any photos!
If you find the canyoneering activity a bit extreme for you, you can go straight to the Kawasan Falls.
Kawasan Falls is also one of the popular tourist spots because of its beautiful turquoise water.
Moalboal Island Hopping
Moalboal is at least 30 minutes away from Badian so the next activity on our itinerary is island hopping!
We first went to Pescador Island, a 10 to 20 minutes boat ride from the shore. I didn’t snorkel, but you can see different marine species and corals when you snorkel.
Next is the Turtle Point. Unfortunately, there was only one turtle in the area.
Lastly, the sardines run. There are lots, and lots, and lots of sardines! I remember our tour guide in Badian told us to bring rice since there are several sardines that we can eat!
Day 2: Oslob Whale Shark Watching, Sumilon Island, Cuartel, and Osmeña Peak
For this day, we had to wake up at 3:00 AM again as we are leaving for Oslob at 4:00 AM. Traveling to Oslob, Cebu took us around 2 hours. We arrived at Brgy. Tan-Awan, Oslob at 5:45 AM and prepared for the briefing regarding the whale shark watching.
The whale shark in Oslob is also famous to tourists; by the time we get there, there were already a lot of groups ahead of us.
Whale Shark Watching
You are required to listen and pay attention to the briefing. Important notes are discussed during this time, and if you have any questions, you may raise them to the speaker.
It didn’t take long before we ride the boat; our group was 9th in line. Life vests are given to us one by one. If you want to swim without a life vest, you may do so!
The total time of the activity is 30 minutes only.
Related: Day Trip in Oslob: Whale Shark Watching and Sumilon Island
You can book a day tour to snorkel and swim with the whale sharks. This tour has roundtrip hotel transfers and you’ll get to see the Tumalog Falls after the whale shark watching.
Sumilon Island
After swimming with the whale sharks, we went to Sumilon Island. The island is pretty close; we walked for 5 minutes to reach the highway, then rode a pickup truck to take us to where the boat to Sumilon Island is parked.
After enjoying the sandbar, we went back to the whale shark orientation area to have lunch and take a shower. We were told that Oslob is experiencing a shortage of water. So, the shower may not be available.
Our next destination is either Cuartel or Tumalog Falls. We all chose Cuartel because we want to have a break from water activities.
Cuartel
Cuartel, an unfinished building made of coral blocks, is part of Oslob heritage park. I prefer visiting these kinds of places because of their historical background.
I have a separate post about our visit to Cebu’s historical place: Oslob Heritage Park.
Osmeña Peak
The travel time from Cuartel to Dalaguete only took 20 minutes. Upon arriving, you have to prepare for a 30-minutes motorcycle ride to Osmeña peak trailhead.
Hiking to Osmeña peak will take about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your pace. I don’t exercise nor hike, but I find it easy to hike here. For some reason, I decided to wear slippers during this hike!
The only problem is if you are scared of heights! The wind scares me the most because it feels like it’s going to blow me away.
You can stay and enjoy the view of Cebu at Osmeña Peak as long as you want. We didn’t stay that long, probably for an hour only, then we drove back to Cebu City.
Day 3: Cebu City tour & buy souvenirs
You can spend your last day in Cebu touring the main city. It’s easier to DIY when touring the city. Aside from that, it’s cheaper too!
You can tour Cebu City on your own and visit its historical landmarks or you can book private Cebu City tours:
- Cebu City Half Day Tour (PHP 1,390)
- Whole day tour including Simala Shrine (PHP 1,800)
- Cebu City & Mactan Twin City Tour (PHP 1,500)
Cebu travel tips
- If you are arriving in Cebu early, you could spend the rest of the day touring the city.
- Traffic in Cebu is almost the same in Manila, make sure you leave as early as possible.
- To make the most out of canyoneering activity, arrive early. Also, avoid going on Saturdays.
- Bring your shoes for the canyoneering activity. You can rent one though if you forgot to bring yours.
- At noon, lots of people stay in Kawasan Falls, especially Kawasan Falls 1. You can ride a raft for 30 minutes, and there are 8 rafts available. However, due to the high volume of tourists, we need to wait for 2 hours before our turn. My advice is to have your name listed first, then eat lunch.
- At the start of your water activity, put your change of clothes in a separate bag to make it easier for you to change to dry clothes.

We went to Oslob already and it was so fun! We didn’t get the chance to Canyoneer, though cos our time is not enough. And they said that the waterfalls are dry? Lol. I’m not sure if I’m talking about Kawasan falls. Great trip, though. We chose a hotel on our last day, the one with breakfast buffet. Yum! 🙂

I hope when you visit Cebu again, you’ll try canyoneering! It’s definitely worth the trip. I have no idea about the dry waterfalls, though. I heard it sa Tumalog Falls that’s why we didn’t go there din. Hahaha.
Save the best hotel for last. Para relax lang, and chill lang 😛
These are some great tips! Thanks for sharing <3

Thank you, Merel 🙂
Can’t wait for your photos. 🙂 Haven’t been to Oslob so this excite me. Hahaha! I went South kasi. Wait, oslob is in north di ba?! Ai basta, sa kabilang side ako. Hahaha! By the way, i don’t think I can do an entry this detailed. Lol! I love how detailed it is, from what to ride, where to go and what to do. So much work but definetely worth the post.
I can’t wait to write more detailed posts! Pero in fairness, ang hirap pala gumawa ng ganito. Hahaha! Parang feeling ko I need to remember every detail sa trip namin. Lalo na the interesting ones so I could share it.
It’s in south 😛 When you go there, don’t miss Oslob. Swimming with the whale sharks seems scary at first pero mas mangingibabaw ung excitement mo. All of us were literally shouting every time malapit ung whale shark samin. Hahaha.
Thank you! This is my first time to write like this. I hope I can keep this up!

The nextime I visit my hometown will definitely visit South. Hehehe! Thanks for posting this kind of post! Can’t wait for the next one. 🙂
I’m still writing it! The problem with a travel guide post is I have to check the facts and confirm if what I wrote makes sense. Hahaha. Thank you, Rej!
Wow. You’re itinerary looks so organized! Haha. I’ll take note of this guide (esp the ones who arranged the tour for you). I might need this soon if our plan on coming back to Cebu pushes through. Hehe. Thanks, Karen!
I tried! Hahaha. It was my first time to try the travel agency, so I can’t compare. But my overall experience with the itinerary and everything that they provided were okay. From the itinerary itself, the food, the hotel, and everything else. Definitely worth it. Plus, it’s cheaper! We tried other travel agencies, but Happy Juanderer is the best so far.
I can’t wait for you to visit Cebu again 😀

Haha pareho tayo hindi nagjump dun sa mataas na part ng Canyoneering. Pero may part sa sarili ko regretting na di ako tumalon. xD Excited for your stories Karen! Osmena Peak yung pinakafavorite ko kasi ang lamig sa taas. Tapos ang sarap ng street foods nila dun. <3
I’m not sure if I regret it or not. A part of me wants to jump, pero mas ayaw kong mag jump. I TRIED. Pero di ko talaga kaya. I guess natakot ako dun sa white na bato, na-imagine ko baka tumama ako pagkatalon ko. HAHAHA.
Thank you, Angelica! Excited na rin ako <3 and yes, super lamig sa taas! Ramdam na ramdam ko kasi naka shorts ako. Hahaha.

Ang ganda ng travel guide post mo!!! One advantage of having a tour agency is that you’ve got to do so many things than DIY since di nasasayang oras sa biyahe. When we went to Cebu, we didn’t got the chance to try Pescador and Osmena Peak. 🙁 Maybe some other time. P.S ang ganda talaga ng travel guide mo. haha
Thank youuuuuu. <3 that's coming from you pa ah! Nakaka-flatter 😛
Yes, kasi they know the place well. Ayaw namin ng friends ko na mag talo talo kami where to go, how to go there, etc kasi struggle din ung maubos ung time habang naghahanap kung pano pumunta and ano mga gagawin, etc. It's a LOT easier kpag naka travel agency, lalo na puro ganun na activities pa. It was really the best decision.
Awww sayang! Super fun pa naman sa Osmena Peak. I didn’t swim sa Pescador, ung mga mahilig mag snorkel ung nag enjoy.
Again, thank you so much, Bea <3

Our first meal in Cebu was Jollibee too! We can’t get enough of Jollibee! Now I miss Canyoneering. I did jump all available jumping points there including the highest one. But no judgement, I understand that not all people can do it. That’s okay Karen. 🙂 I saw many participants who backed out when I was there too. But it was really fun and one heart-pumping experience! It’s really more convenient to avail tour package. You were able to visit more places than we did but, more pricey I must say.
It was really late that time. Almost every restaurant was closed already. And Jollibee was the nearest too! Hahaha.
Wow, I’m so happy for you! I really have this extreme “phobia” that’s why I don’t want to jump off a cliff. I tried once, without a vest, but it was 5 feet only. I had SO much fun, but my imaginations would always gone wild. I can’t concentrate. I always ended backing out. Haha!

This is perfect. We’re planning on a trip to Cebu for May and we really need some guide on where to go and definitely where to stay that’s nice and affordable. Thanks!
http://www.flavorfultravels.com/
There are a lot of places that you could stay at in Cebu – depends to your liking. I didn’t get the chance to choose where to stay since my friend prepared everything plus we have a travel agency, but so far I’m happy with where we stayed at. Enjoy your trip to Cebu on May!
I’ve been trying to figure how the minimize thingy is on wordpress haha. Teach me how. This is a really detailed itinerary. Would go back to this when we finally, finally push through our Cebu trip! Last year pa siya nakadrawing hahaha.
Hi, Richel! I used Collapse-o-matic plugin for that. You may check it here. 🙂 Yay! I’m looking forward to your trip. I hope it will push through soon! Well at least you were able to visit Taiwan lately. I wanted to visit another country at least once a year. Hahaha.

I like how organized you create your itinerary. You even have a printable copy of it. Good job, Karen.
I was to join my colleagues last month for a Cebu trip. I believe it was almost the same activities that you guys did. But I missed joining them due to work circumstances.
I wouldn’t try jumping off a cliff as well since I don’t know how to swim. I have fear of open and wide bodies of water and what’s underneath it. Geez, sorry.
This guide is surely helpful for first timers or those who plan to come back. Thanks for sharing, K.
The printable copy was just an experiment. I thought my itinerary was too wordy and people might not enjoy read it, so might as well create a short version of it! Hahaha. Thank you, Clint! Those words really make me happy.
My friend doesn’t know how to swim as well, but since we have life vests, he tried jumping off a cliff. But it’s really different if you have a fear of wide bodies of water. And yes, what’s underneath is a mystery! I even imagine I might fell on the rock or something. That’s why I didn’t bother to try jumping.
Thanks again, Clint! <3

Great post! I love the detailed information. I’m from Canada but born in Philippines and I’m looking forward to visiting next year or so. Thanks for this info, I’ll remember it for my trip.
Yay! I hope you’ll visit the Philippines soon. When was the last time you went here? 🙂 I wanted to visit Cebu-Bohol but 4 days in Cebu is really not enough. Thanks for dropping by, Merryl!

Sayang you didn’t try to jump sa Canyoneering, pero it’s okay, not everyone can do it hehe nung nagcanyoneering kami ni Gerald may mga hindi rin tumalon sa Kawasan Falls. Si Gerald ayaw talaga nya tumalon nun. Pero sabi ko kung tumalon man sya o hindi, tatalon ako. Napressure ata sya sakin kaya tumalon din hahaha pero sabi nya di naman daw nya pinagsisihan hehe at least dba di ko sya pinilit. choice nya un hahaha
I haven’t tried going with a travel agency na may tours etc. Nagtravel agency lang kami sa Boracay before for the accommodation and hotel transfer kasi madami kami and peak season yun. Pero kng kami dalawa lang ni Gerald, prefer namin DIY hehe kasi I asked a friend who tried travel agency and nung pagkasabi palang nya na may call-time, alam na namin ni gerald na hindi para samin yung travel agency tours. Kasi hindi namin kaya gumising ng maaga hahaha kaya it depends talaga sa group na kasama mo. If you really preper to make the most out of your trip, then best siguro yung travel agency 🙂
And also, I felt so sad you tried whaleshark watching in Oslob. I’m against it, since the whalesharks are endangered na, and people in Oslob are making money out of it. Have you read an article about it? Na affected din yung “migration” something ng whalesharks? That it could harm other people as well.
I really wanted to try. I told myself na I will jump, pero pag dating talaga dun, I caaaan’t. Ilan beses ako nag attempt, but pag nasa cliff na ako, nag bbackout ako! ?? it’s really not for me! Hahaha. I have a friend din who can’t swim at all pero he tried jumping. And yes, he had sooooo much fun daw.
I like DIY din, pero I only like it if dalawa lang kami or basta wag madami. Like samin, 10 kami. If more than that kasi, ang hirap mag agree on one thing. And usually a lot of time will be wasted bec ayaw ng one or two, so parang you have to meet at one point. Edi travel agency na lang. Hahaha. Our call time is 4 AM! Sobrang grabe, but worth it.
I haven’t read it ? but I felt bad din kasi feeling ko nasa malaking aquarium lang sila or something and they’re not free to swim around. Kaya it took me a while before ako nakapag swim with them. At first akala ko nga may net na nakapaligid sakanila so they’ll stay lang sa area.
I had fun reading your comment! ❤️

I haven’t read it ? but I felt bad din kasi feeling ko nasa malaking aquarium lang sila or something and they’re not free to swim around. Kaya it took me a while before ako nakapag swim with them. At first akala ko nga may net na nakapaligid sakanila so they’ll stay lang sa area.
I had fun reading your comment! ❤️

Wow I really like it Karen. You did a great travel guide plus the tips! It is very short post unlike other posts from other blogs, ang taas. pero informative naman. Pero ito is summarized and madaling matandaan o ma-note. Thank you Karen!
Hi, Lorie! It’s so nice to hear that. I wanted to make this guide short as much as I can, but all the information needed is there. 🙂

Hi Karen! Would like to ask if yung booking of your hotels is walk in or you have already reservation before your flight in Cebu?
Hi. Julie! The hotels were reserved na before our flight. ?

The most unforgettable part of my journey in Cebu was the one-day itinerary of swimming with whale sharks and tracing the river. It was really fulfilling and fun.
