Central Visayas Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Sun, Sand and Sea! All for free!

#summerbreak It was one of the best trips I had in Bohol. I went to visit my uncle and aunt's home in Clarin. They owned a bamboo walk that led to the sea. At the end of the bamboo walk, our boat waited to bring us to the sand bar. There were so many starfish in the area. We had lunch in our boat and swam to our hearts' content. Who said bonding with the family is expensive? I was glad I booked that flight from Trip.com and I was able to enjoy time with my family.

Bohol at a glance

Cute, amazing island with just 2-hour travelling from Cebu city by Oceanjet ferry. Love the ride across the Bilar man-made forest while heading to Chocolate hills, the extraordinary greenary color of Loboc river, the tarsiers are amazing to observe as well. The only thing I didn’t like is the crowd at Chocolate hills which killed a bit of experience to me, as a nature-lovers 😂. Just wish I have more time in Bohol. #summervacation

Kawasan Falls In Cebu

Cebu boasts a rich history that dates back to the Spanish colonial era, evident in its well-preserved heritage sites such as the Magellan's Cross and the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño. But beyond the city's urban charm lies a natural paradise waiting to be discovered. One of the most sought-after destinations in Cebu is the awe-inspiring Kawasan Falls, located in the town of Badian. This multi-tiered waterfall is a true gem, boasting crystal-clear turquoise waters cascading down lush green cliffs, creating a postcard-perfect scene that will leave you in awe. Kawasan Falls is not just a sight to behold; it's also a playground for adventure enthusiasts. Canyoneering, a thrilling activity that combines hiking, swimming, and cliff jumping, is a popular way to experience the beauty of Kawasan Falls up close. Strap on your gear, follow experienced guides, and embark on an exhilarating journey through the canyons, navigating through natural rock formations, and plunging into refreshing pools of water.

The Kawasan Falls Asrenaline Rush Adventure

Kawasan Falls is about 2 hours away from the bustling City of Cebu. Canyoneeeing is the main activity in the area. They have 7 different attractions around, which includes a kilometer of Superman zipline, a hike through the forest, and 7 different jumps along the Kawasan River with several waterfalls to enjoy a thrilling jump or dive. It's an awesome experience with all of your friends to be part of the nature while thrillseeking through the jungle. It's better to get a private tour guide, or you can jump in with the group. Price range is between $30 ~ $60 per person, depending on the level of activity and number of people in the group. This activity is not for the faint of heart. After your fun day, you may want to spend the afternoon in Moalboal for some tranquil time watching the sunset before heading back to Cebu City.

Labuyo Restauranr

Lovely restaurant with very vibrant staff. Portions are good. Ordered the Bam-i (delicious! Portion enough for 2-3 people), the honey garlic chicken for a couple (came with 4/5 pieces of chicken), the Shanghai lumpia (3 halved pieces with sauce) and pork bbq (delicious but beware very spicy sauce!). The Mango Float is a definite must! Would definitely recommend! Love the food and service. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Our family went here on a rainy evening but we were greeted by their friendly staff who guided us from parking until we reach the restaurant with an umbrella.I highly recommend this to people who likes to experience exquisite food and true Filipino hospitality. The atmosphere was inviting and the decor was gorgeous. The menu was full of unique and delicious options that exceeded my expectations. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make sure I had a great time. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. #foodie #cafe #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #celebratewithtrip
