South Cebu and Bohol Classic Route
A classic combination of Cebu Old Town, Moalboal, Kawasan Falls, Oslob, and a ferry crossing to Bohol.
A one-way route entering via Cebu and departing via Panglao. It splits South Cebu into a two-night stay, avoiding the long day-trip commute from Cebu City. You will go canyoneering on Day 3 and head south, then cross the sea on Day 4. The pace is moderate, balancing the old town, the ocean, and the Chocolate Hills. It is suitable for first-timers and families with older children, sacrificing the Mactan island-hopping tour.
You must arrive early in the morning for whale shark watching. The provisioning/feeding style of viewing is controversial; you can decide whether to participate.
