Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Cebu
Welcome to Cebu, the 'Queen City of the South'! In the evening, join us for a tour briefing and a welcoming dinner. If you arrive early, explore the city's rich history as the landing site of the Spanish in the 16th century. As the second largest city in the Philippines and the main center of the Visayas region, Cebu offers a vibrant coastal metropolis with sprawling neighbourhoods, bustling markets, and delicious local cuisine.
Day 2: Loboc, Bohol
We start the day with an early morning boat ride to the beautiful island of Bohol. After a leisurely lunch, we set out on a gentle cycling adventure. Our first stop, about 10 km in, is the Tarsier Sanctuary, where we meet the world’s smallest primates. After this unique encounter, we continue cycling through lush rice fields on our way to Loboc. Once there, we check into our resort and unwind by the serene and scenic Loboc River.
Day 3: Carmen (Bohol)
Today’s ride is a relaxed one, though a few climbs will keep things interesting. Along the way, we’ll pause to experience a thrilling zipline, explore a man-made forest, and visit a butterfly sanctuary. Our journey culminates at the world-famous Chocolate Hills, where we stop for lunch. Afterward, we check into our resort and unwind, taking in the stunning sunset and watching the Chocolate Hills transform with the changing colors of the evening sky.
Day 4: Anda
A full day of adventure lies ahead. We begin with an easy 15 kilometers on flat terrain before tackling a challenging 15-kilometer climb. Stunning views along the way offer the perfect excuse to pause, catch our breath, and snap some photos. After conquering the ascent, we’re rewarded with a breathtaking 22-kilometer descent, winding past terraced rice fields and quaint villages, all with panoramic views of the sea. Following a well-deserved lunch in Anda, we continue with a scenic coastal ride to our resort, where relaxation awaits.

A smooth yet steady climb leads us to a serene water reservoir, the perfect spot for our lunch break. Afterward, we load the bikes onto the van to skip a section we’ve already cycled. Twenty kilometers later, we unload and enjoy a leisurely downhill ride back to our resort. Midway, we’ll stop at a refreshing waterfall for a chance to cool off with a dip in its crisp, clear waters.
Day 7: Tagbilaran
We begin our morning ride along the scenic coast, heading towards Panglao Island. Once there, we’ll enjoy lunch at the renowned Bee Farm, known for its organic delights. Afterward, we explore a fascinating cave before making our way back to the resort in Tagbilaran for a relaxing evening.
