I know a lot of people are looking for a fun and adventurous activity in South Cebu in, as much as possible, a tighter budget. I guarantee that you can because I just went to the famous Canyoneering in Kanla-ob River in Badian Cebu, Kawasan Falls in Alegria and Whale Shark watching in Oslob for only PHP 4,000.00 budget each for a group of five. This will be direct to the point as I will post a separate blog about the experience. But for now, let me share with you our itinerary and budget.
Note: Plane fare is excluded. We got a PHP 1,300.00 promo fare from Davao to Cebu. For sure, there will be more promo fare offers of Cebu Pacific Air for travelers coming from Manila.
DAY 0: MAY 5, 2016
TIME | DESTINATION / ITINERARY | BUDGET (PHP) | BUDGET per pax (PHP) |
5:30 PM | Davao International Airport | 120.00 | 24.00 |
6:00 PM | Terminal Fee: DIA | 1,000.00 | 200.00 |
6:40 PM | Departure to Mactan, Cebu | – | – |
7:40 PM | Arrival at Mactan International Airport | – | – |
8:00 PM | Taxi : Going to Airol Pension House | 320.00 | 64.00 |
8:30 PM | Check in at Airol Pension House | 1,300.00 | 260.00 |
9:00 PM | Dinner at KFC (Budget includes Taxi) | 500.00 | 100.00 |
TOTAL | 3,240.00 | 648.00 |
The taxi going to the pension house has an additional Php100.00 since they don’t allow five passengers in the taxi. Actually, it’s just Php 50.00 additional but since the taxi driver is mabait, we just gave him a decent tip. :)
We do not recommend staying in Airol Pension House. The place is seriously not clean. And we found out that there are other pension houses that can provide better service at almost the same price. You’ll find out below where we stayed on our last day. So on Day 0, we spent about PHP 648.00 each.

TOTAL | 9,835.00 | 1,967.00 |
The good thing about Airol Pension House is it’s walking distance to the South Bus Terminal so you won’t have any worries of getting late in departure schedule of buses. However from 11PM on, the buses take off every after an hour. We arrived at the terminal by 4 AM, however, the 4 AM sched was already fully booked. This means we have to wait for the 5AM bus. Again, do not worry because although we were late, the 5AM bus was immediately occupied so we were able to leave Cebu City by 4:45 AM and just in time for our 8 AM canyoneering schedule since the travel time is only about 2.5 hours. But of course, I recommend being early in the terminal so you avoid any glitches that might interfere your travel itineraries.
The canyoneering adventure was definitely one for the books! I will have a separate blog post for that experience but I’d like to highlight in here why it became a greater experience. Kuya Yoyoy (Mobile No: 09777753176) was our tour guide. He is very accommodating and makwento despite his cleft palate. He exactly knows how to make the canyoneering experience a worthwhile one. He suggests things to do like where to take photos and where to jump and how to make your jump more memorable (I remember mine ‘superman-ning’ during a slide). He take good photos, by the way. He is very reliable and really maaasahan.
And as you may notice, we’ve spent nothing on our lunch. We were surprised that Kuya Yoyoy has arranged the lunch for us FREE OF CHARGE. This was not part of the package kaya nabigla kami that he’s doing it out of courtesy. His brother Marlo took charge of the rest of the tour since Kuya Yoyoy has to attend to his visitors by 1 PM. But we found out na kaya kami nalibre sa lunch was because nahihiya raw siya sa amin for not known reason. But his message, as captured below, is so touching kaya we highly recommend him to all others who wants to do canyoneering. He is humble and mabait and what’s for sure is he can give you a better, or yet best, canyoneering experience.
UPDATE: Canyoneering fee is already PHP 1,500.00 including lunch and gears.
Together with other travelers going to Oslob, we agreed to rent a van for Php 200.oo each since the buses took so long to pass by Alegria. We checked in at Oslob New Village’s fan room for Php 1,000.00 for four persons. We just added Php 150.00 for extra mattress. Although siksikan, the room is okay for five since matutulog lang naman doon at para rin may mapagiwanan ng mga gamit namin during whale shark watching.
The place is near the market so you won’t have any problem having your budget dinner. Also at night, we contacted a tricycle to fetch us out by 5 AM so we have sure transpo going to whale shark watching area.

Oslob New Village is about 10-15 kilometers away from the Whale Shark watching area but the place is still a good choice especially if you have tight budget. Just like what we did, we contracted tricylce driver to have us tranferred to the area as early as 5 AM. I recommend going to the place by that time so you can secure a spot on first batch. Doing that, you’ll definitely avoid queuing long lines and the heat of the sun (because sun block isn’t allowed in the area to avoid contamination of the water); plus the mesmerizing view of the sun rise.
Also, it is walking distance to an old church in Oslob, the Nuestra Senora de la Immaculada Concepcion. You better visit this place so you have the feels of Spanish era with the relaxing view of the crystal clear ocean and its ‘selfie-prone’ park.
I also recommend to include Simala in your travel itinerary for a monarch-feel ambiance. The church is unique among others due to its castle-like structure. It’s huge and you’ll feel like you’re in London or Disney land. :) But most importantly, it’s miraculous.
Robe’s Pension House is a good choice for an overnight stay. What we’ve got was a deluxe room for two. We just requested for additional 2 mattresses so we can be accommodated in just one room for only Php 1,450.00 or Php 290 each. The place is safe and comfortable unlike Airol.
You can BOOK here to get some DISCOUNTS! Just click the image below.
So there! In 2 days, we were able to visit and experience Canyoneering in Badian, Kawasan Falls, Whale Shark watching in Oslob, an old church since ~1800, and Our Lady of Simala for only PHP 4,002.00 each.
I hope this will make you more excited to visit South Cebu while spending just right with your budget. Also, if you have no tour guide yet in Canyoneering, kindly contact Kuya Yoyoy (Mobile No: 09777753176). Every single centavo is worth his service. And for sure, it will be a big help for him.
If you happen to follow or decided to follow this budget and itinerary, I will appreciate any comment from you. Questions are also welcome.
For tourist group of 8, you may check out this budget and travel itinerary including Sumilon Island and City tour.
Thank you!

If youre a risk taker, kaya naman. After kawasan, go na sa oslob. Stay there overnight. The next day punta kayo sa whaleshark. Punta kayo ng 5am. Pila kayo agad para kayo ang first batch. Youre done before 9am. 3 hours ang biyahe so mukhang kaya. Pero you cant control din kasi kung gano kabilis ang bus.
Here’s my recommendation:
Since dating nyo ng cebu is on oct3, deretso na kayo oslob para makawhaleshark kayo ng oct4. Be there by 5am para firstbatch kayo. Youre done by 9am. Tapos shoot na kayo sa kawasan. Almost 2 hrs ang biyahe. Kung makarating kayo before 12, kaya pa rin makapagcanyoneering since whole day naman yun open. At night, balik na kayo cebu para hindi kayo magcram papunta airport.
I just dont know kung may bus from oslob to kawasan. 😂

Hi! Thank you for dropping by! As to your questions, there are buses going to oslob that pass by badian. Most of the time, non-air. What we did before was to contract a van (taga badian lang din ang mayari) along with other group. Pero we’re like 10 sa van so mga around 150 lang ang contribution each.
According to our guide, pwede pa naman magcanyoneering by 12nn. Yun nga lang baka sunset na kayo matapos. Plus, baka hindi nyo masyado maenjoy ang kawasan falls kapag sundown na. It’s the highlight of the adventure. Kaya i suggest you stay longer sa kawasan.
You may want to contact the guide I mentioned in the blogpost. Very maaasahan saka he will adjust to your time. 😊

Hi Apollo! Thanks for dropping by! You may follow the itinerary in my post. After canyoneering on the 24th (half day activity), you may proceed to oslob and spend the night there. On 25th, pila na kayo sa whale shark by 5am para first batch kayo therefore you’ll be done before 9am. Tumalog falls is just few kilometers away lang naman sa whale shark so after nyo dun, magtumalog na kayo. You can spend the night of 25th sa sumilon island, if gabi pa flight nyo on 26th. There are accommodations dun but i dont know how much. If not, you may just want to allot a little time in tumalog so you can stay pa for a little time in sumilon. Anyway, hindi naman sila malalayo from each other. Para by night of 25th, balik na kayo cebu.
You may want to read blogs of those who included tumalog and sumilon islands in their IT for better sched and time management. Thanks! 😀

We’re planning to have this for a 2 day trip kaso di namin alam kung appropriate ba yung itinerary namin in order to enjoy the best time for all the places. Eto yung tentative namin: (Day 1) Badian -> Osmena Peak -> (Day 2) Oslob -> Simala… We put the Osmena Peak on the afternoon after the canyoneering since sobrang foggy raw sa morning at di ma appreciate ang views. Then right after we’re heading straight to Oslob for an overnight stay to catch up with the first batch for Whale Shark Watching. On the afternoon of Day 2, we are planning to go to Simala before heading back to Cebu City. Sir Ton, tingin mo okay lang ba yun na itinerary? Will it be very costly and time consuming? Kasi iniisip din namin kung pwede din bang ang itinerary is: (Day 1) Oslob -> Badian Canyoneering (Overnight stay) -> (Day 2) Osmena Peak -> Simala. Please help kung alin sa dalawang ititnerary ang mas magandang sundin in terms of expenses and time allocation. THANK YOU AHEAD! =)

If you have service, you may want to try simala then osmena peak on day 1. Then shoot kayo sa oslob for overnight stay. Then next day whale shark watching then canyoneering.

Better yet, you go overnight so you can also spend time in sumilon island and tumalog falls. 😉

And possible din po ba sa isang araw yung Whaleshark watching + Canyoneering + Kawasan Falls, we’re planning po kasi to maximize our time, we’ll be spending 3 days in Cebu so the next two days po probably libot2 from oslob to cebu city.Tatlo po kami. Sir paki advise naman po if anung pwede mong i suggest sa planned ITI po namin. Mas makakamura din po ba kami if mag rent kami ng car from day 1, or mag commute on the first day?
ETA – 6pm
Airport – Hotel Destination (Oslob)
Day 1: Whaleshark watching + Canyoneering + Kawasan Falls
Day 2: Oslob>>Boljoon>>Sibonga>>Carcar>>Cebu (approx 10 or more tourist spots)
Day 3: Tourist destinations in Cebu City

Hi Manel. My first advice is dont strike too many spots in 3 days. You might have not enough time to enjoy every single place. Your 3 days are enough to visit the places i mentioned in the blog. You may add also sumilon islands in oslob and temple of leah and taoist temple in your cebu city tour.
If your arrival is 6pm (thats day 0), you can go first to canyoneering (day 1) by taking the 4am trip to Matutinao the following day. Contact Kuya Yoyoy as your guide in canyoneering. He is so sulit! Spent 1 day there. After, go overnight in oslob so you can be at whale shark area by 5am in the morning to take the first batch of whale shark encounter. By 7am, youre done. Try sumilon island after. Thats only 15 minutes away by boat from whale shark area. After which, follow the same IT we did (nuestra in oslon, simala church, day 3 will be cebu cjity tour).
Btw, what time is your flight from cebu back to base? ;)

Hi ton! I love your blog. It is super informative! My cousins and I are planning to follow your itinerary for our trip next year. We are to arrive in Cebu on Apr 12 (PM) and we are leaving for Bohol on Apr 14 (7PM). kaya po ba if we are going to follow your day 1 and day 2 itinerary except after whale shark watching, punta kami sa Sumilon Island then after, balik na kami sa Cebu City. Aabot paba kami sa last trip ng Supercat which is at 7PM?

Hi Aa! Kayang kaya. Last week i also used the same IT but with Sumilon Island. We were in cebu by around 6pm (we left simala church by 330pm). Basta agahan nyo sa whale shark. Before 7am youre done so shoot na kayo sumilon island. Since kunti lang kayo, more likely, before 11am makakaalis na kayo ng oslob. Kami natapos by 10am pero nakaalis kami ng oslob ng 1230pm na.
Btw, canyoneering is 1500 inclusive of lunch, transfer to jump off point and back, dry bag and go pro use. Just contact kuya yoyoy for more details. The price is across all tour guides as mandated by lgu.
Thanks!

Hello myrvn! Yes you can still contact him on the same number. Regarding your day 1, as far as i know, osmeña peak and canyoneering are on the other side of each other. I think canyoneering is on the west, osmena peak is on east so baka mahirapan ka bumyahe. You can do canyoneering muna on day1. After that, you can go to oslob na. If you have 2 days in oslob i think your target destinations are possible to visit. Saka ka na mag osmena peak kung pabalik ka na sa cebu from oslob. Madadaanan kasi yun. If you have private car, sobrang bilis lang bumiyahe.

If you have private van, yes pwede. Although magkaibang way kasi ang kawasan and simala.

Then you can shoot na sa simala. But yun nga, different way sya. Better ask your driver if its feasible or meron syang alternative option.
The best way sana is kawasan sa umaga, then oslob then simala. It’s just that, baka macutoff kayo sa whale watching sa sobrang dami ng tao and until 12nn lang.

Do you think I can combine the adventure to Kawasan Falls and Whale Island in one day? My time in Cebu is very tight (just 2 days) and thanks in advance!

Hello po! 3N2D po kasi sa cebu, around 8PM arrival namin ng Sunday. May masasakyan pa ba kami Pa-oslob? Balak ko sana monday kami mag-kawasan for canyoneering. I will surely contact kuya yoyoy, thank you sa site mo. :) Hirap kasi mag-hanap sa online.
Since Tuesday 12mn pa departure namin, may ma-susuggest ka ba na pinaka-best na puntahan namin? Sobrang short kasi ng time.
Thank you so much!
