@kookai88 pa share naman ng itinerary and expenses..planning to go sa cebu in a few weeks. Day 1 naman is city tour..diy sana instead of package tour para di time constraint. Thanks.

[mistiqshannen]

Patulong naman ako. Ito kasi ang itinerary namin sa cebu

Day 1: Late na makaarrive sa cebu gabi na actually.. We will stay at Gran Tierra Suites..
Saan mas OK kumain at that late??? Kasi aantayin pa namin sa airport dating ni papa. mauuna kasi kami s akanya ng alomost 2 hrs. may nakakainan ba sa arrival?

Day2: City Tour lang...
Ang balak ko sa umaga, Temple of Leah, then lunch ng lantaw.
paano ko maisisingit ang Sirao Farm?

Then after lunch balak namin sa city nalang at mamili ng daing sa tab-oan after.
May nakausap akong car rental at 2300 innova na sya and 8 hrs.. so ok lang na mag DIY na kami pag sa city like magellan cross and neabby..

Ano ano pang pedeng magandang puntahan sa city except churches? Thank you.

Day 3: off to Bohol na kami...
Day 4: Country side tour. we got tatsky sa tour and transfer. sya din kinuha namin before.. smooth ang transaction sa kanila. pati ocean jet ticket pinabili ko sa kanila.

Day 5: Wala pa di na kami tutuloy sa sea tour e.
Day 6: morning flight back to Manila.

[andreil_19]

^^for Day 2: pwede mo unahin ang Sirao Farm kasi madadaanan ang Temple of Leah going to Sirao kaya yan ng half day pwede nyo pa isingit ang Taoist Temple.

hello! Will be visiting Cebu from feb 13-17.. Here's my proposed IT pero pahelp naman po just to add some inputs kasi medyo nagugulugan pa ko hahaha..

Feb 13 - early arrival from Clark to Cebu via PAL
            - go to Bohol (been to bohol but my 6 years old son specifically want to see Choc hills!  haha)
            (still looking for a reliable driver, since konti lang naman gusto ko puntahan, Choc hills and atv, man made forrest, tarsier since napuntahan na namin before)
            - overnight stay in Alona

Feb 14 - Panglao to Oslob by boat
              Question: is it feasible to do dolphin watching/balicasag then after that diretso sa Oslob? actually I contacted some travel agents pero ang mahal ng sinisingil if we want to do this.. so maybe we will just opt to just go to Oslob and remove dolphin watching/balicasag since me and hubby did this before
             if I will arrive in Oslob early, ano kaya ang pwedeng gawin? feasible ba ang Moalboal island hopping then kawasan falls then back to Oslob?

Feb 15 - Whale shark early in the morning then Sumilon Island
             Question: ano mas ok, Blue water Sumilon day tour? or just the sand bar will do?
            -after check out we will go Samboan and check in Fantasy lodge. chill lang kami and will try their spa and kawa bath

Feb 16 - chasing waterfalls in Samboan then afternoon go back to Cebu city

Actually me and hubby is dying to do Badian Canyoneering! however our 6 years old cannot join.. though i inquire naman sabi ng mga guides pwede daw since he can avoid the high jumps but looking at the trek baka di kayanin ng son ko.. haha! any inputs? sabi ng friend ko kaya naman daw since the guides will take care of him pero parang sobrang pagod.. 

Actually this trip is supposed to be a chill/beach bumming kinda trip.. I dunno how i ended up with so many activities! hahaha! ito na kasi pinaka feasible na naisip ko since my hubby wants to do Whale shark and my son wants to do bohol..

sorry ang haba and dami questions.. thank you in advance sa mga sasagot!

[pretty_B]

Hi po! Any recommended travel agency or van for rent in Cebu? South Cebu and Cebu City po ang balak namin itour. Salamat!

[nhetsky23]

Hi mga sis, ask ko lang, until what time po open ang Simala church? If 3pm aalis ng Cebu South Terminal, maaabutan pa kayang bukas ang church?

[ross24]

Hi sisses! Kakatapos ko lang mag-back read and hindi na daw maganda yung tumalog falls? Plan ko pa naman is Tumalog falls after ng whaleshark watching. Pwede bang Kwasan falls na lang after ng whaleshark watching? Paano kaya pumunta dun, DIY lang kasi kame.

[xsugar]

diy lang din kami sis ross24, kelan punta nyo?

[ross24]

Hi sis xsugar, Feb 5-9 kame sa Cebu. Nasa IT ko is Feb 6 kame punta tapos 7-9 Banatayn na lang. :-) Kayo sis?

[ross24]

Hi sisses! Pano kaya pumunta ng Kawasan falls galing sa Oslob whaleshark? Balik lang ba ng highway para sumakay ulit ng bus? TIA!

[ross24]

Malapit lang ba IT park sa Fuente Osmena? Gusto ko itry yung Briquito Silvanas eh :-)

Tsaka yung SM ba malapit lang din sa North bus terminal? Plan ko daanan yung CNT lechon after ng Oslob trip namin  before umuwi ng hotel :-)

[michi247]

^ malayo yung Crimson Resort so nung nagstay kami, dun na rin kami kumain. Mahirap din kasi mag-abang ng taxi palabas.

[ross24]

^Thanks sis! na-try nyo ba yung dinner buffet sa Crimson? May charge kaya Yung mga bata? 7 and 3 yrs old kids mga kasama ko

[michi247]

^ ala carte lang kami kasi mahina din kumain anak ko. Sa Saffron Cafe, may kid's menu, ask mo na lang if ever hindi mabigay. Nung dinner kasi hindi sa min nabigay kaya nagulat kami nung lunch na meron naman pala kid's meal.

[yvilicious]

Kindly recommend a nice hotel/resort in Moalboal that is kid friendly and not too expensive. Unfortunately Blue Orchid is fully booked already this Holy Week 

[luvko23]

^ sis I recommend Hale Manna in Moalboal. Family friendly yung place. May pool, free use of their facilities including Kayak.

[yvilicious]

Thanks sis, unfortunately Hale Manna is already fully booked this Holy Week 

Any other suggestion?

Here's our ITI in Cebu.  Our trip was Feb 23-26

Feb 23 6am flight - Mactan airport straight to Oslob.  Ang layo nya.  Medyo matraffic din sa City cause it was a Thursday.  Along the way, we ate at BBB's overlooking restaurant.  Checked in at Malonzo Pension House.  Settled and rested.  Naglakad kami going to The Ruins (Baluarte at Cuartel) ang lapit lang.  Nagenjoy kami maglakad dun at kumain ng fishball at picture ng picture 

From The Ruins, lakad to Oslob Public Market.  Sa streetside may mga ihaw-ihaw.  Dun kami nagdinner.  Back to Malonzo Pension House, nood ng TV at natulog around 9:30pm.

Feb 24 Friday - early rise for Whaleshark watching.  Umuulan kaya maalon.  Mabilis lang naman yung encounter 30 mins lang.

Breakfast sa Casa Bonita Inn then we headed to Sumilon Sandbar for swimming, snorkeling, and picture taking.  Then back to Casa Bonita for a quick light lunch.

Deretso na kami sa Kawasan Falls.  For me, it was the highlight of my Cebu trip lalo na yung rafting.  We didn't do Canyoneering dahil may mga bata kaming kasama.  Mag-ingat kayo at sumunod sa rules ng guide kasi may matitigas ang ulo na naaksidente daw.  Nung paalis na kami, merong Medic Team kami nakasalubong, may naaksidente daw.

Then pabalik sa city, dumaan kami sa Car Car, famous for their Chicharon.  We love chicharon we bought a lot    Php 600.00 per kilo lang yung Mat-Mat Chicharon.

Checked in at Alpa City Suites (sa may fuente osme?a yata ito).  Dito na kami nagdinner sa hotel dahil tinamad na kami lumabas.

Feb 25 Saturday - City Tour hanggang gabi

We left our hotel at 9am and went to  Sirao Farm, Taoist Temple, Temple of Leah, Magellan's Cross and Sto. Ni?o Church.  Lunch sa paluto (forgot the name of the place) it's like our Dampa in Manila.  Then we went to the factory of dried mangoes.  Ang dami ko nabili ang mura lang dun.  Then we went to Lapu-lapu Shrine.  Nagpunta pa kami sa Cordova  10,000 roses na merong 10,000 people  hahaha ang dami talagang tao kasi holiday pala sa Cebu during that time at long weekend sila.

Back to the hotel. Rested for a while and we went to Rico's lechon for dinner.


Feb 26 Sunday - nag Grabtaxi lang kami papunta sa Taboan Market for Danggit and Dried Pusit shopping.  Late check out kami sa hotel.  Then sa Park Mall na kami nag-lunch, syempre Lechon ulit.  We tried 2 brands of lechon.  Dun na kami nagpa-pick up sa van sa Park Mall then dumaan kami sa hotel to get our things, then deretso na sa airport.

Our flight back to Manila is supposed to be 6:25pm but our flight was delayed.  Good thing PAL provided us meal vouchers for dinner.  Nakadating kami ng NAIA 11pm na.


I would want to come back and explore the North area of Cebu naman.
