Cebu is a paradise island in the Philippines with great malls, spectacular marine life, and a whole range of exciting activities for all to enjoy. Here are six of the best.
Island Hopping
Cebu is surrounded by white sand beaches with clear turquoise waters and colorful marine life. Grab a snorkel, a kayak and some factor 50 sunscreen and you’re all set for a perfect afternoon of island hopping.
Dive with Whale Sharks
When you go on a whale shark tour in Cebu, you are pretty much guaranteed to see one. The giant creatures stick around throughout the year as the fishermen feed them.
Mountain View Nature Park
Mountain View Nature Park is surrounded by lush greenery and stunning tropical views. If you have children, there’s a great little water playground. Generally though, it’s worth going for the scenery alone.
Basilica del Santo Nino
Basilica del Santo Nino is the oldest Catholic Church in the Philippines. It was founded in 1565 and is filled with ancient paintings and stunning architecture.
Jumalon Butterfly Sanctuary
Cebu’s butterfly sanctuary is a mini rainforest filled with butterflies and colorful flowers. If you wear bright colors, the butterflies will likely land on you.
Taoist Temple
Cebu is home to a beautiful Taoist Temple. The temple offers beautiful views of the island and is a great place to learn about the Taoist way. You can even take part in a ritual.
