Cebu and Bantayan Island 4-Day Tour | A Perfect Blend of Culture and Adventure This four-day trip to Cebu and Bantayan Island in the Philippines was one of the most unforgettable travel experiences I've ever had. From cultural exploration to extreme adventures, every day brought surprises that made me want to stay forever. On the first day, our guide Cristina was incredibly friendly and professional. Not only did she pick us up and drop us off punctually, but she also patiently introduced us to the local culture and history, giving us a deeper understanding of Cebu. Our driver Marito was also very dedicated; the car was clean and comfortable, making the entire journey feel safe and pleasant. The encounter with whale sharks in Oslob on the second day was unforgettable. Although I was a bit nervous at first, under the guidance of our guide, we safely and happily completed the snorkeling experience. The island hopping tour in Moalboal was even more dreamlike; the water was crystal clear, and the corals and tropical fish were as beautiful as a postcard. The canyoning adventure at Kawasan Falls that afternoon was challenging but absolutely worth it. The beautiful scenery along the way and the thrill of sliding through the water are not to be missed (it's recommended to have basic physical fitness before participating). On the last day, we arrived at Bantayan Island. We visited Omagieca Camp Sawi, experiencing the local natural healing atmosphere, and then enjoyed a tranquil time on the white sands and azure sea views of Paradise Beach. The island hopping tour to Virgin Island was also a major highlight, with each small island boasting its unique charm. This trip included private transportation, entrance fees, snorkeling and canyoning equipment, and even the lunches were thoughtfully prepared. If you want to enhance your experience, you can also rent a GoPro or try zip-lining activities for an additional cost. Helpful tips: It's recommended to bring a waterproof bag, sunscreen, and a change of clothes, as you will get completely soaked during the canyoning adventure! The accommodation arrangements were very reasonable, with overnight stays near the activity points, saving travel time. Overall, this was a journey full of surprises and adventures. Whether you are a nature lover or seeking relaxation, you will find your own happiness in Cebu and Bantayan Island. I highly recommend Cristina and driver Marito; they were the soul of the trip, making it smooth and warm!

It was truly an unforgettable experience. We were able to explore some of Cebu's wonders. As non-swimmers, we are incredibly grateful to all our guides who supported us throughout the experience and pushed us beyond our limits. Indeed, it's one of our core memories.

Our driver in Cebu, Owen, provided very thoughtful and attentive service. He always made sure to drop us off right at the door before he felt at ease. Whenever we had any questions, he would always find a way to help us solve them! 👍 The canyoneering trip made us very happy and felt safe. We were a group of 7 (3 children + 2 slightly nervous mothers + 2 fathers), and we rented two GoPros from them. They had a total of 9 instructors who accompanied us throughout the three-hour canyoneering adventure. The process was very fun and humorous. They were concerned we might get hurt when the water was too rapid, so they often acted as human cushions to ensure we played safely. Many thanks to the instructors! The boatmen on the whale shark tour were also excellent at taking photos. The whale sharks were truly huge and adorable, definitely worth seeing! 👍

Excellent service. From the shuttle service to the tour, we were well taken care of. There was plenty of food available during lunchtime. Since I was a joiner and alone, I barely needed to use the tripod I brought because the guides themselves would take pictures of me. It was also memorable for me since it was my first time island hopping + it was my birthday, hahaha (just sharing). Aside from that, my companions were super kind, especially the seniors, and also the crew and the tour guide (Tony?). Thank you and until next time.

This package includes lunch, with a simple breakfast of bread and Sprite. I especially loved the barbecue on the boat. I booked this particular boat after seeing a blogger's barbecue, saving me the trouble of asking around once I got there. The communication before departure was smooth, and the guide on the day was excellent. They started grilling on the way to Balicasag, hahaha, it smelled so good! Personally, my boyfriend and I both love Filipino grilled pork and chicken. There weren't many people on our boat that day, only 6, so the experience was great, though sometimes it might be more crowded, as I've seen larger boats too. We didn't rent a GoPro, but the guide recorded videos and took photos for us for free. These were taken during our second dive after returning from Balicasag. I can't swim, but I fell in love with snorkeling and even fed the fish. Yes, we saw many dolphins while chasing them, lots of sea turtles, and even sea snakes. The experience was fantastic because I love barbecue so much, I spontaneously decided to write a good review. It seems many local tours don't include lunch, so it's good to confirm that in advance. For your reference.

Tuvimos un increíble recorrido por el campo en Bohol con nuestro conductor, Manuel, ¡y lo recomiendo encarecidamente! Manuel fue increíblemente informativo, paciente y atento durante todo el viaje. Compartió datos interesantes sobre cada destino. Nuestra aventura comenzó en las impresionantes Colinas de Chocolate, donde los niños se divirtieron muchísimo montando los quads, ¡definitivamente fue uno de los puntos culminantes del día! Luego visitamos el Santuario de Tarsiers, que es una visita obligada cuando se está en Bohol. Hicimos una parada rápida en el hermoso Bosque Artificial para tomar fotos antes de dirigirnos al Crucero por el Río Loboc. El almuerzo en el Crucero por el Río Loboc fue fantástico. La comida estaba deliciosa, el paisaje ribereño era impresionante y el entretenimiento en vivo de los cantantes y bailarines hizo que la experiencia fuera aún más memorable. Terminamos el recorrido con visitas al histórico Santuario del Pacto de Sangre y a la hermosa Iglesia de Baclayon, la iglesia más antigua de Bohol. Gracias, Manuel, por hacer nuestro viaje tan agradable y sin estrés. ¡Altamente recomendado!

This was a fun tour. We had two different drivers—Sir Alvin in Cebu & Sir PJ in Bohol— both were excellent & very accommodating to our requests. Sir Alvin was friendly and very thoughtful—he even checked in on us after the tour to ask how our day went, which we really appreciated. Sir PJ, our driver in Bohol, was also very engaging. He didn’t just drive us around—he shared interesting historical insights about the places we visited, which made the experience more meaningful. He’s also great at taking tourist photos, which was a nice bonus! PROS: Seamless transfers from our Cebu hotel to the port, then to Bohol, and back. The travel agency was easy to communicate with and provided all driver deets a day before the trip. We got tourist seats. CONS: The ferry travel takes about 2 hours each way (around 4 hours total), which can eat into your tour time. If there are ferry delays—as we experienced—the itinerary may feel a bit rushed.

It was so much fun. We all enjoyed it because every beach in Siquijor is beautiful. KB was very informative, thank you for letting us know almost the entire history of the island. We already miss Siquijor. I love every part of the tour. Pitogo, Cambugahay, Salagdoong and even the oldest house in Siquijor.
