Visayan Islands: Cebu, Bohol & Panglao — 6 Days

Fast-ferry island route through the central Philippines, featuring coastal drives, river cruises, and wildlife watching across three islands.

This six-day journey moves through the Visayan region by inter-island ferry and overland transfer, connecting three distinct islands in the central Philippines. The itinerary begins in Cebu City with visits to the Basilica Minore de Santo Niño and Magellan's Cross, then travels by fast craft south through Cebu's coastal landscape toward the island's terminus at Santander. From Cebu, a ferry crossing carries travellers to Tagbilaran in Bohol, where the route encompasses the Chocolate Hills, Baclayon Church, and a river cruise on the Loboc. The final component includes a dolphin-watching expedition before the return journey to Manila. Accommodation is provided in mid-range hotels and resort properties; transfers, guides, and boat passages are included throughout.
