Cebu’s most photographed hilltop spots in one day: the Temple of Leah, Little Kyoto, Seoul Sierra and the flower fields of Sirao Garden.
Above Cebu City the air cools and the views open up. The highlands loop takes in the Roman-inspired Temple of Leah, the Japanese and Korean-themed gardens of Little Kyoto and Seoul Sierra, and Sirao Garden, the celosia farm known as Little Amsterdam. Travel is by air-conditioned van with a licensed guide, entrance fees, water and a mini pasalubong pack included.

Practical tips for Philippines, from entry rules to what to eat. General guidance for a Philippine traveller — rules and prices change, so confirm the latest before you fly.
Domestic: a valid ID
For local flights and ferries you need a valid government-issued ID and your booking. Foreign visitors from most countries enter visa-free for 30 days with a passport valid 6+ months and an onward ticket.
Philippine peso (₱)
Carry cash for island towns, tricycles, market stalls and entrance fees — ATMs can be scarce on smaller islands. Cards and GCash work in resorts and cities. Tipping around 10% or loose change for guides, drivers and boatmen is customary.
Tropical; check the season
Expect hot, sunny days most of the year, with the drier months roughly November to May. Pack swimwear, reef-safe sunblock, a hat, light quick-dry clothes, sandals and a rain layer for afternoon showers.
Boats, vans and Grab
Islands are reached by ferry or banca boat, and your package includes transfers plus a private van and boat where needed. In Cebu, use the Grab app for city rides. Keep small bills for tricycles and habal-habal.
English widely spoken
English is an official language and understood almost everywhere, so you will have no trouble. Locals speak Cebuano here — Maayong buntag (good morning) and Salamat (thank you) always earn a smile.
Warm and easygoing
Filipinos are famously friendly and a smile goes far. Dress modestly in churches, cover up away from the beach, and ask before photographing people. A polite “thank you” is always welcome.
Friendly; usual care
The tourist areas here are welcoming and safe; take normal care with valuables and board only registered boats with life vests. Drink bottled water on the islands and bring any personal medicine. Emergency hotline: 911.
Globe/Smart SIM + GCash
Buy a Globe or Smart tourist SIM at the airport for data; signal can drop on remote islands, so download your maps offline. GCash is handy for payments, and resorts and cafés usually have Wi-Fi.
Beaches, lechon & more
Chase white-sand beaches, island-hopping and snorkeling, Bohol’s Chocolate Hills and tarsiers, and Palawan’s lagoons. Feast on Cebu lechon, fresh seafood, kinilaw, sweet mangoes and halo-halo to cool down.
