Cebu-Bohol Travel
Guide
Cebu and Bohol are two of the most visited provinces in the
country by local and foreign tourists. I love Cebu for its beaches, waterfalls,
Butanding and lechon. God, I love their lechon!
As for Bohol, I love its marine life.
How To Get There
Lapu-Lapu International Airport is the
gateway to Cebu. Cebu Pacific and PAL
fly daily to Cebu from Manila. On the
other hand, Bohol can be reached via boat from Cebu with two hours travel time.
Visit this link for ferry schedule from Cebu to Bohol.
Where to Stay
There are a number of hotels/hostels in Cebu. No need for
fancy hotels, you will be sleeping the moment you arrive at your hotel because there
are many activities to do in the area.
*We stayed at Capitol Central Hotel and Suites in Cebu and
Matig-A Seaside Pensione in Bohol. Matig-A is just a walking distance from
downtown of Tagbilaran City.
