Activities in Cebu

The Moalboal Sardine Run is a year-round natural phenomenon off Panagsama Beach in Moalboal, southwestern Cebu, where millions of sardines form massive, swirling underwater formations within meters of the shore. Unlike the seasonal sardine run in South Africa, Moalboal's is permanent, making it one of the most accessible marine spectacles in the world.

Oslob Whale Shark Watching is a globally famous marine encounter in the waters off Tan-awan, Oslob, where visitors can swim and snorkel alongside butanding (whale sharks) — the world's largest fish. The experience draws hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to this small coastal barangay.

Mactan Island's guitar-making industry is a unique cultural attraction where master craftsmen handcraft acoustic and classical guitars using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Visitors can tour workshops, watch the crafting process, and purchase high-quality instruments at factory-direct prices.

Kawasan Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall in the municipality of Badian, southwestern Cebu, famous for its stunning turquoise-blue waters fed by natural springs from the Kanlaob River. It's one of the Philippines' most photographed waterfalls and the endpoint of the popular Badian canyoneering adventure.

Cebu Ocean Park is a marine-themed amusement park located along the South Road Properties waterfront, featuring oceanariums, a jellyfish gallery, interactive marine life encounters, bird shows, and water park attractions. It's the largest ocean park in the Visayas and Mindanao regions.

Tumalog Falls (also called Toslob Falls) is a stunning curtain-like waterfall near Oslob, southern Cebu, cascading over a wide limestone cliff face draped in moss and tropical vegetation. The gentle, misty cascade creates an ethereal atmosphere that has made it one of the most photographed waterfalls in the Philippines.
