4D3N Cebu-Bohol Itinerary & Budget

Finally, after months of promises, I finally have the time to upload this.

Below is our 4D3N itinerary.

We were a group of 8, and none of us has been to Cebu but my best friend has been to Bohol and suggest to visit it instead of the Southern Cebu which will take 3 - 4 hours.

On our first day, we did a bit of amazing race and it wasn't that fun, when we reached our hostel in Bohol, my body was screaming of sleep & rest. We were up from 2 AM and while we have our wheeled luggage, it was exhausting to travel the Cebu City proper at noon.

Below was the breakdown of our cost.
The total budget, including airfare, but excluding the pasalubong: PHP 7060.00

 

Lesson Learned/Tips:

• If you want to have a Cebu-Bohol trip, booked them both, its either your entry will be in  Cebu & exit at Bohol or vice versa. This is to avoid the hassle of  going back to the place you have been visited, and its time saver too.
• If you have an early flight like us, take some rest first or ensure that you have somewhere to deposit/keep your luggage. It was a hassle to roam around the city with your baggage.
• It takes at least 45 minutes from Cebu Airport to the City so prepare yourself for the travel (if you were like us that take the public transport) Just ask the guard where the direction where the cab is stationed.
• If you will go to the Temple of Leah, Taoist Temple & Top, the only available mode of transportation is the motorcycle. I don't remember the place, but once you get there, numerous motorcycle riders will offer their service, HAGGLE! They started to offer us 150 each, one way until they settle for 150 each two way. Don't pay them immediately, pay them when you have reached your last destination and be clear with what you have agreed upon. Our riders told us that they can service us to TOP, we just need to add 20 pesos, so we thought its 20 two way, but when we were paying them, they said its 20 one way. We have cleared this before we went to TOP, but hola, their tune change, so stand your ground. I am sure not everyone is like them, but it's always good to be alert.
• Don't go to TOP at noon, you will not appreciate the place. The best time to visit it is at night. Sayang yung 100 nyo kung di nyo ma-enjoy yung view.
• When you are riding the ferry, they will ask you to check in the big luggages. The cost on Cebu Pier (25 per luggage) is different from Bohol Pier (50 each luggage)
• For the Bohol Ferry, I suggest to check Ocean Jet, they have this Libre Balik promo, roundtrip for 800 php only, tax excluded, 969 php is the complete fare. Just contact them & check if they have the RT promo, they only have limited seats so make sure to check with them first.
• It is chilly inside the Ferry, so be sure to have your jacket or anything that can help you fight the cold. 

If you have any question, just put it in the comment and I'll be happy to answer you  or let me know if I have help you in anyway ^^
