“The astonishing Kawasan
Falls and the most
incredible experience of
swimming with the whale
shark are reason enough to
visit Cebu!”
Have a nice meal at Larsian’s located
in Fuente Osmeña (near Osmeña
Circle), where you can choose your viand
and they grill it for you. Get a full meal for
approx. PHP400.
Take the jeepney
when you go around town, but make sure
first to ask the driver for his destination so
you don’t ride the wrong one.
Swim
with the
butanding
(whale shark) in Oslob
for an experience you will never forget.

“Kalibo is a sleepy little town
that may often be easily
overlooked but holds lovely
little nooks that you can make
your own.”
Dine at Ramboy’s for
liempo
(pork
belly) that is crispy yet soft and juicy.
Liempo cuts are bigger than they are in
Manila, all for the price of PHP250.
The Bakhawan Eco-Park has river trails that
take you in between trees and opens up
a refreshing view of the sea.
Befriend
locals and the staff at your lodgings. They
would gladly point you to the nearest fruit
market or bargain trips to other destinations.
