A week via Cebu and Bohol With the scooter

Itinerary

Day 1: Monday: Pescador Island Hopping & Snorkeling with sea turtles

Stop At: Pescador Island, Tanon Strait, Moalboal Philippines
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cebu City or Mactan between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. You will have received a corresponding SMS with the exact pick-up time the day before.

And then it starts: On winding uphill and downhill roads, following the coast, we drive to Pescador. We encounter jeepneys, tricycles and the Filipino mopeds, on which often 3 or 4 people sit. A good opportunity to take your first photos.

Around noon we will reach Pescador and take a small boat to the island. The boat tour and island visit are the most picturesque parts of this day. The subsequent snorkeling tour on the colorful reefs of Moalboal is more physically demanding. Fortunately, you don't have to dive deep to meet colorful schools of fish and large sea turtles in the tropical warm sea just below the surface of the water.
Duration: 8 hours

No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: private double room in Oslob

Day 2: Tuesday: Swimming with Whale Sharks in Oslob & Canyoneering Kawasan Falls

Stop At: Kawasan Falls, Matutinao, Badian 6031 Philippines
We drive about 70 km to the Kawasan Falls, the fantastically beautiful waterfalls. Here you can relax and swim at the foot of the waterfalls and enjoy the atmosphere. Does that sound too boring to you? Then come along to canyoning. In canyonoing we hike to the rocky top of the waterfalls and then jump down there. You can jump from 8 meters, 12 meters or 14 meters high cliffs, slide on rocks into deep water and have fun with the monkey swing. You can try everything several times.

We will spend about 3 hours at the falls.
Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: Cebu City, Cebu City, Cebu Island, Visayas
About 2 hours of driving on the coastal road from Pescador are still ahead of us. The sea on the right and the mountains on the left: enjoy the drive to Cebu City.

We have planned this day without motorcycles because access to the two temples we will visit are only permitted by car. We will provide an air-conditioned car for this trip. The Taoist Temple and the Temple of Leah are both located on a mountain and have great views. After the temples we will go to the Sirao Garden, where you can meet some interesting people. The Sirao Gardens try to reflect Holland with its windmills and has an interesting design. This is how Asians view and understand Holland.

In the evening we go back to the hotel from which we started in the morning. If you want we can explore the city after dinner. In the city you will find countless bars, massage parlors and you can sing karaoke. The distances are so short that you can use a tricycle or a jeepney, or just walk.

At 9 am we leave Cebu. The harbor with the ferries is not far away. At the port it looks like a big market. Many people are traveling with large packages. There are many small stalls.

The speed ferry ride to Bohol takes just under two hours. The inside area is air-conditioned and quite sterile, while the sea wind blows around your nose outside.

Arrived in Bohol, we rent new scooters in the port city of Tagbilaran and drive to a small but very nice hotel on Panglao Island. We spend the afternoon there on the hotel beach under palm trees.

The destination for the day is Danao, right in the heart of Bohol. Around 110 kilometers of green mountain roads with unique hilly landscapes and the Chocolate Hills lie ahead of us. There is a lot to discover.

We will make two stops:

We make our first stop after about an hour's drive on the Loboc River, where we take a boat tour. It will be quite a noble treat, accompanied by a really good buffet. You will only meet tourists here, many from Korea, China or Australia. Enjoy the river trip through tropical jungles and eat delicious food. In the background a Filipino singer sings the old Beatlels songs live. If you are looking for movement, you can disembark halfway. At this stop, Filipinas perform their traditional stick dances. You are invited to dance with us and then come back on board.
Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: Loboc, Loboc, Bohol Island, Bohol Province, Visayas
After the boat tour we drive a few kilometers further up the Loboc River on sandy roads. Here you get a surfboard and can paddle. Stand up padle is easier than it looks. However, after a while it becomes quite exhausting. We made it to the suspension bridge (about 1,000 meters away) and back again. If you're well trained, you can keep going. There is no time or goal, you can paddle as long as you want and of course you don't have to stand all the time - it also works while sitting and even lying down.

Before it gets dark we drive the last 70 km to Danao.

Day 6: Saturday: Danao Adventure Park & atv rife in the Chocolate Hills (Bohol)

Stop At: Loboc, Loboc, Bohol Island, Bohol Province, Visayas
If you're still a little tired at breakfast, that's okay, but at the latest when you jump from the Great Plunge you will be wide awake. First you fall and then you swing between two mountains over a valley. Of course, we will take over the entry to the Adventure Park and also the extra tickets for the jump with the Great Plunge as well as the tickets for the Glass Cliff Walk and two cable cars.

Our stay in the Danao Adventure Park takes about 3 hours. We have lunch about 2 hours away at our next station, in the middle of the Chocolate Hills.

After lunch we go quad there. Quad biking is a really muddy business. For 30 minutes you can let off steam and get really dirty. You can give everything. Thin plastic pants and jackets to pull over are given to you, so your clothes stay reasonably clean. Anything that gets dirty, you can easily rinse off later with a water hose.
Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Loboc Wildlife & Nature Park, Upper Bonbon, Loboc, Bohol, Philippines, 6316 Philippines
After the quad biking it goes up to the lookout point to let your gaze wander over the Chocolate Hills. Unique hilly landscapes that can only be found on Bohol.

You think you've done everything for today? No! There is a second adventure park just around the corner, which we of course also visit. First it goes up a mountain over several suspension bridges. Later, countless steps lead to the top of the mountain. Right at the top of the mountain is a tower and on top of the tower is a bike that you should ride on a steel cable across the valley to the next mountain and back again. A queasy feeling arises because it goes really deep down. But don't worry, everything is secure. You just need courage, the bike actually keeps the balance all by itself.

Daily driving distance around 110 km
Included meals: breakfast
Accommodation included: own double room, small hotel pool
