Itinerary

  • Check in to your beach resort after a long drive
  • Enjoy the swimming pool during your free time

  • Evening free for a visit to a local pub/bar in the village
  • Overnight stay at your hotel

 

Note: We are staying in Moalboal and not in Cebu because all the famous adventure activities are located close to Moalboal. The distance from Cebu to Moalboal is approximately five hours, so if you are not staying in Moalboal, you would need to start very early from Cebu to do these activities.

 

Day 4: Moalboal Sardine Run

The Moalboal Sardine Run is one of the few places in the world where you can experience this incredible natural phenomenon just a few metres from the shore. No boat. No long journey. Just jump in and swim.

  • Wake up and get ready for another adventure-packed morning
  • Dive into vibrant coral reefs
  • Snorkel among millions of sardines
  • Spot sea turtles if luck is with you
  • Return to your resort for lunch
  • Visit the village party area with your new friends during your free time
  • Overnight stay in Moalboal

Note: Whale shark watching is also available in Oslob if you wish to add one more activity today. You will need to wake up early to do this activity. However, we do not recommend it, as local operators bait the whale sharks with surface-level shrimp daily to keep them close for tourists.

 

Day 5: Fly to Puerto Princesa

  • Transfer to Cebu Airport for your flight to a UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • Fly from Cebu to Puerto Princesa
  • Check in to your hotel by evening

Day 6: Underground River Paddleboat Tour

  • You may not know this, but it is also one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature
  • You may not know this, but it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site

 

Head for lunch after the paddleboat tour is finished, and then we will drive to El Nido.

Overnight stay in El Nido (the perfect area to party).

 

Day 7: New Year's Eve in El Nido

If you are not a party person, or if you wish to use the daytime to explore some day tours, you can simply ask your tour leader to book a lagoon tour for you. Read about and decide between Tour A and Tour B before booking.
