Officially designated as Region VII, it comprises the island provinces of Cebu and Bohol, serving as a haven for beach lovers, adventure seekers, and heritage enthusiasts.
Known as the “Queen City of the South,” Cebu presents a blend of urban vibrancy and tropical retreats. Observe or swim alongside whale sharks in Oslob, snorkel with vast schools of sardines in Moalboal, embark on a thrilling canyoneering adventure at the multi-tiered Kawasan Falls, or visit Magellan’s Cross, a historic landmark dating back to the 16th century.
Famous for the iconic Chocolate Hills and the adorable tarsiers, Bohol is equally impressive with unique natural wonders, stunning marine life, and a rich cultural heritage.
Marvel at the incredible Chocolate Hills, a distinctive natural formation made up of numerous mounds, and observe the world’s smallest primates in their natural habitat at the Philippine Tarsier and Wildlife Sanctuary. Other memorable experiences include cruising along the Loboc River while savoring a delightful treat of sumptuous Filipino cuisine, and exploring the pristine beaches of Panglao and diving into its untouched coral gardens.
Fastcrafts and ferries connect the two islands, which are just about two hours apart, allowing travelers to easily plan and enjoy a multi-day itinerary covering both provinces.
