The Philippines, a tropical paradise in Southeast Asia, is renowned for its exotic fruit, picturesque beaches, and stunning waterfalls. With over 7,000 islands, it's a haven for beach enthusiasts. One of the top destinations in is Moalboal in Cebu. From diving and snorkeling in the pristine waters of Pescador Island, to trekking through the scenic landscapes of Osmeña Peak or canyoneering through the vibrant blue waters of Kawasan Falls, there's no shortage of opportunities to experience the natural beauty of Cebu.
Witness the Moalboal Sardine Run
Swim through dense schools of fish as millions of sardines form massive swirling shoals just off the coast of Moalboal. This natural phenomenon is a must-see for snorkelers - just swim out to the designated area a short distance from the shoreline. This occurs year-round, but the best time to witness it is November to May.
Canyoneer at Kawasan Falls
Join a guided tour to lead you through the canyon at Kawasan Falls, where you can try activities like rappelling and cliff jumping, and take a refreshing swim in the natural pools.
Hike to Osmena Peak
Embark on a trek to Osmeña Peak, the highest point in Cebu. Hike through scenic trails surrounded by rolling hills and jagged peaks, and be rewarded with views of the surrounding countryside and neighboring islands.
It's best to go early in the morning to catch the sunrise or late in the afternoon for the sunset.
Snorkel at Pescador Island
Explore the underwater world of Pescador Island by joining a snorkeling or diving tour. It's a popular spot for diving enthusiasts, offering opportunities to encounter colorful coral reefs, sea turtles, and even whale sharks in their natural setting.
Try Pork Sisig at Ven’z Kitchen
Step outside of your culinary comfort zone to try pork sisig, a sizzling dish made from chopped pork face and ears seasoned with spices and served on a hot plate. Ven'z Kitchen, known for its delicious and hearty Filipino dishes, offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere to try this unique dish.
Many travelers come to Cebu because it's a famous spot to swim with whale sharks, however, it's not recommended to do it in Oslob. The experience is not authentic and there is controversy on how it disrupts their natural habitat and has negative impacts on their sustainability.
