Cebu-Bohol Travel Guide

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.
