Island Hopping the Philippines

Welcome to Cebu, the “Queen City of the South”! We will pick you up from Mactan International Airport and transfer you to our tour hotel in the city. In the evening we convene for a trip meeting and welcome dinner.

We board a boat to Bohol Island and kick off our cycling adventure through the scenic Visayas countryside. Along the way, we visit a wildlife sanctuary for a chance to meet the world's smallest primates, the tarsiers. The ride concludes with a winding downhill to the picturesque Loboc River.

We ride deep into Bohol’s interior, rising to a plateau crowned by the mesmerizing Chocolate Hills. Along the way we stop for optional ziplining over a gorge and cycle through a mahogany forest. In the afternoon we’ll relish views over the hundreds of symmetrical hills draped across the landscape.

Today is challenging yet incredibly rewarding. We first climb to the heights of the rice-terrace covered Sierra Bullones highlands. This is followed by a thrilling 20 km downhill and a final stretch along the coast towards our ocean-facing resort near Anda.

A well-earned rest day on Bohol’s coast. Relax at the resort or head to the nearby white-sand Anda beach for lounging. You may also be tempted by snorkeling, scuba diving, or boat tours.

We discover more of Bohol off-the-beaten path. A 43 km morning ride takes us to a scenic reservoir where we enjoy a picnic lunch. A 19 km afternoon ride leads us to a hidden waterfall where we can enjoy a refreshing dip before arriving on the rocky shores of Dimiao.

We begin with a ride along Bohol’s scenic southern coast and stop at Baclayon Church, one of the oldest coral stone Catholic churches in the Philippines. We then cross a bridge and circumnavigate nearly the entirety of Panglao Island before transferring to Tagbilaran where we spend the night.

Today we cruise across the Bohol Sea to reach Siquijor, an island of natural beauty and mysticism. Once on the island, we enjoy an easy 27 km post-lunch ride to our elegant beachfront resort where we will be based for three nights.

We circumnavigate the entire island of Siquijor on its well paved 86 km long coastal road. Along the way we visit a legendary tree harboring a natural fish spa, explore the Philippine's oldest Catholic Convent at Lazi, and enjoy views of turquoise waters from Salagdoong beach.

We explore Siquijor’s lush interior highlands, starting with a drive to the summit of Mount Bandilaan. A thrilling 10 km downhill then takes us to the multi-tiered Cambugahay Waterfalls. You can cycle back to the resort or opt for a transfer and enjoy the afternoon relaxing by the beach.

Today we’ll be on three islands and two boats! We cruise from Siquijor to Dumaguete and then across the Tanon Strait to southern Cebu. Here, 70 km of blissful coastal riding takes us from one rugged headland to the next until we reach the seaside town of Moalboal.

In the early morning you have the option to witness the remarkable “Moalboal Sardine Run”. Our final ride traverses Cebu from west to east, climbing up and down the Central Cordillera, before transferring to Cebu City. We enjoy a farewell dinner.

Transfer to the airport for your onward flight or extend your stay in Cebu.
