Cebu was our first stop in the Philippines, and we packed a lot into two days — Oslob whale shark swimming, the Moalboal sardine run, great food, and a quick tour through Cebu City. If you’re planning a Cebu itinerary or wondering what you can realistically fit into a short itinerary, here’s exactly how our experience went.

We also share where we stayed, what we ate, and the top sights we stopped at in Cebu City.

Prices can of course vary depending on dates, and the number of people you travel with. This is just to give you an idea! :)
