Day 2: Moalboal & Sardine Run
Enjoy the scenic drive as you travel on to Moalboal through Cebu’s incredible countryside. Stop at the impressive Simala Shrine and discover its stunning architecture and religious significance. Head for lunch at a nearby restaurant before arriving in Moalboal. Check into your accommodation on the beachfront, grab a snorkel and get ready for the famous Sardine Run. Swim amongst thousands of sardines and even spot a turtle or two!
It’s an early start to head to Osmena Peak to watch the sunrise. Take a short hike to the top and watch the sun come up over the incredible landscape and jagged hills. Later, make your way to Cambais Falls to meet a local family who will prepare breakfast by the waterfall. Spend a few hours swimming before heading back to Moalboal. Spend the rest of the day relaxing or, if you fancy an adrenaline rush, head out canyoneering.
Begin the journey to Bohol after breakfast. Enjoy the scenic drive back to Cebu City and then hop on a ferry to Bohol. After checking into your accommodation, unwind by the pool or watch the sunset whilst sipping a cocktail at Alona Beach.
Journey across Bohol’s countryside where you will first stop at the iconic Chocolate Hills. Marvel at the stunning panoramic views before continuing onto the man-made Mahogany Forest where trees tower over the road – a pretty impressive sight. After, reach Tarsier Sanctuary and observe these unique animals in their natural habitat. Head for lunch at an open-air restaurant with views over the Loboc River. Later, kayak or paddle board down the river and admire the lush greenery and tropical vegetation. Finish the day with a cooking class and learn how to make traditional FIlipino desserts.
Head to a local school and engage with the students as you learn about their daily activities and schoolwork. Bohol is known for its incredible marine life so, in the afternoon, head for a sunset tour and stop off to snorkel at different coral reefs. Later head to Virgin Island, a picturesque white sandbar, and sip on fresh coconuts as the sun sets. For dinner, enjoy a traditional Filipino ‘boodle fight’ (a communal meal with a variety of Filipino dishes served on banana leaves) and a cocktail or two.
It’s time to head to Boracay! Famous for its pristine white sand beaches, buzzing nightlife and crystal-clear waters, it’s definitely worth the visit. Hop on a flight and take a quick ferry ride to your accommodation. Spend the afternoon discovering the island’s hidden gems including secluded beaches, tiny islands, local villages, and lush tropical landscapes. In the evening, head on a sunset sail around the island.
After breakfast, take a ferry to the main island of Malay. Head to the Motag Living Museum and gain an insight into rural Filipino life as you learn about the traditional lifestyles of locals living in Caticlan. Return to Boracay after a local lunch and spend the rest of the day kayaking or swimming in the crystal clear waters.
After breakfast, check out of your accommodation and say goodbye to your travel group before continuing with your onward journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tour have an age limit?
One Life Adventure tours cater to individuals between the ages of 18 and 45. The majority of guests are between 21 and 35 years old and seek to immerse themselves in the adventurous flashpacking travel style. These tours provide an ideal opportunity for people from diverse backgrounds to connect and share travel experiences with like-minded fellow travellers.
Where should I fly into/out of? Are there arrival/departure time requirements?
You would need to fly into Cebu International Airport and out of Caticlan (Boracay) Airport. You can arrive at any time on day 1, though there is a Welcome Dinner at around 6pm. On the final day, you can leave at any time.
Are airport transfers included?
Airport pickup is included on day 1 of the tour, but it is not included at the end of the tour. This can be arranged easily when you are there and your guide can assist you with this.
Can I get picked up from the airport if I arrive before day 1?
Unfortunately airport pick ups are only an option on day 1 of the tour, but there will be very easy and straightforward instructions included in your welcome pack to help you on getting from the airport to the first hostel.
Can I bring a 25kg suitcase?
Please note that there is a 20kg limit on checked luggage on your domestic flight. If you need to add extra at the airport you can do so but it can be very costly. We would recommend bringing a suitcase or backpack that weighs under 20kg.
Can you cater for my dietary requirements on this trip?
Yes, most dietary requirements can be catered for on this trip. Please notify at te time of booking so that this can be arranged.
Can we do the Canyoneering at Kawasan Falls?
While we don’t recommend this activity due to safety concerns, there is enough free time to conduct this activity on Day 3 if you wish.
How much spending money do you recommend for this tour?
We recommend a minimum of $300 AUD for the full ten days, but it depends on what kind of spender you are. A spending guide will be included in your welcome pack. You can withdraw from ATMs at various points throughout the tour, but we recommend withdrawing plenty of cash in Manila since you cannot rely on the ATMs on some islands.
I want to bring some camera equipment on tour, are there safe places like lockers in the accommodation?
There are lockers/safes in most locations but not all, we recommend bringing a padlock for your bag like you would when travelling in a normal situation anyway for that extra peace of mind.
Should I bring hiking shoes?
There is a little walking involved in the Philippines but not much. Sandals and some trainers/running shoes would be fine.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is compulsory for all our trips. You’ll need to show proof of your policy to your group leader upon arrival (on your phone or printed).
World Nomads travel insurance policies offer coverage for more than 150 activities. Get a quote, make a claim, or buy or extend your policy while on the road.
We endorse the recommendation of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade that all travellers take out travel insurance. If you already have Travel Insurance please understand that it is your responsibility to ensure that your Travel Insurance covers you for all of the adventure style travel you have booked with us.
