Explore the breathtaking beaches, waterfalls, and diverse marine life of Cebu Province with this 11-day adventure tour package.

This Cebu Province tour package provides a stress-free experience, featuring domestic flights with a 20kg baggage allowance, 10 nights of accommodations with daily breakfast, convenient land transfers, and guided tours that showcase the island’s top attractions.

Your tour package begins in Manila City, the vibrant capital of the Philippines. Upon landing at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, you’ll be warmly greeted by a friendly driver who will escort you to your hotel, setting the tone for an unforgettable journey into the heart of the city.

Once you have checked in, you can either unwind at the hotel or make your stay even more memorable by upgrading your package to include an exciting add-on tour.

Upon arrival, you’ll check in to your accommodation. Once you’ve settled in, you’ll have the freedom to spend the rest of the day however you please. You can explore the island’s attractions or simply unwind on its sun-kissed shores before settling in for a restful evening.
