14 Best Cebu Packages to Book: Top Tours, Budget, Resorts, Diving

Is it cheaper to book a vacation package to Cebu?

Sometimes, it is not only more convenient to book a Cebu vacation package, but it can also be cheaper. Some packages are even inclusive of flights to Cebu, accommodations in Cebu, Cebu airport transfers, and Cebu tours and activities, so you don’t have to worry about booking every element of your Cebu travel separately. This also means you only have to pay one service provider, and you can potentially save money.

With all the aspects of your vacation already ironed out, you can focus on savoring the experience and enjoying all the things to do in Cebu.

Best Cebu tours

No Cebu vacation is complete without joining a tour of the province’s natural attractions. There are many outdoor activities in Cebu, and you can’t go wrong whether you decide to try canyoneering, whale shark-watching, or experiencing a sardine run activity. 

Cebu Kawasan Falls Canyoneering Tour

Best for: Travelers looking for a fun outdoor water adventure activity in Cebu

Cebu canyoneering tours to Kawasan Falls are popular for those wanting a refreshing getaway from Cebu City. Kawasan Falls tours usually come with transfers from Cebu City, so all you have to do is wake up early for the pick-up. 

You’ll then make your way to Kawasan Falls in Badian, a muti-tiered waterfalls with turquoise water but you first have to trek, swim, rappel, and cliff-jump through different landscapes to get there. Some of the Cebu tours to Kawasan are bundled with island-hopping in Moalboal or whale shark watching in Oslob. If you’re not up for the extreme canyoneering activity, you can instead book Kawasan Falls tours where you’ll directly travel to the falls without the canyoneering.

Cebu Oslob Whale Shark Watching Tour

Best for: Travelers who want to see and swim with majestic whale sharks

If you want to travel to Cebu to spot whale sharks, you should look into Oslob whale shark-watching tours. These tours usually come with transfers from Cebu City, so you won’t have to worry about booking that yourself.

After going to Oslob by land, you’ll board a boat and head to the whale shark-watching area. Depending on the tour, you may swim or scuba dive with these gentle creatures, but remember not to disturb them to ensure everyone’s safety. While whale shark sightings are never 100% guaranteed, these tours will increase your chances.

Cebu Moalboal Sardine Run

Best for: Marine lovers who want a unique diving experience in Cebu

The highlight of most Moalboal island-hopping tours is the sardine run experience. While these tours usually also include stops at Pescador Island and Turtle Bay, many travelers look forward to seeing Moalboal’s famed sardine run while snorkeling. 

The massive glimmering underwater wall that sardines form while swimming in unison is a magnificent sight, so bring a waterproof camera if you have one. This phenomenon happens daily in Moalboal’s waters, and since most of these tours come with transfers from Cebu City, you can easily squeeze it into your itinerary.
