Philippines Islands 6N gives you two contrasting island stops in six nights: three in Cebu and three in Bohol. Cebu offers waterfalls and access to diving. Bohol is known for the Chocolate Hills and tarsiers. The route suits travellers who want more than one island without changing hotels every night.
You arrive through Mactan-Cebu International Airport, one of the common gateways into the country. The first days are based in Cebu, with time for a waterfall visit and an optional diving day. Between Cebu and Bohol, the practical options are ferry and domestic flight. Schedules can be unpredictable, so the plan keeps the transfer day light.
The package is land-only, so flights to and from the Philippines and any domestic flights are booked separately. It includes hotel nights on twin sharing, transfers and sightseeing as set out in your day plan, and visa assistance. For planning, read our Philippines travel guide, how to reach the Philippines and when to visit.
Your trip expert can stretch, shorten or swap any day.
Land at Mactan-Cebu International Airport and transfer to your hotel in Cebu. Check in and rest after the journey. Keep the first evening light, because the next days include a waterfall visit and an optional diving day. Confirm your arrival time with your planner before you travel.
Spend the day visiting one of Cebu's waterfalls, arranged by your planner. Waterfall areas can be slippery, so wear suitable footwear and carry water. Check the weather before you leave, because heavy rain can affect access. Return to Cebu for a rest and an evening walk.
Keep this day flexible. Diving is available from Cebu and can be booked as an extra with a reputable operator. Confirm the costs, the safety briefing and the weather before you book. If you do not dive, use the day for the beach, the city or rest.
Travel from Cebu to Bohol by ferry or domestic flight, as your planner confirms. Ferry schedules can be unpredictable, so allow buffer time. Check in to your Bohol hotel and rest. Keep the evening simple, and check the next day's plan with your planner.
Visit the Chocolate Hills, which Bohol is known for, with a driver as arranged in your itinerary. Allow time for stops along the way. Wear sun protection in the afternoon. Your planner will confirm the timing and any entry arrangements before you travel.
Spend the morning on a visit to see tarsiers, the small primates Bohol is known for. Keep the afternoon free for rest or time by the water. Confirm the visit's timing and entry arrangements before you travel, because access can change.

FAQs
What travellers ask about this trip. Your trip expert can answer anything else.
Cebu offers waterfalls and access to diving, and Bohol is known for the Chocolate Hills and tarsiers. Together they give two contrasting stops in one trip. Mactan-Cebu International Airport is a common gateway, so you can arrive and leave from Cebu without a long detour.
Between islands, the practical options are domestic flights and ferries. Your planner confirms the mode and timing for your dates. Ferry schedules can be unpredictable, so the plan leaves buffer time on the transfer day. Ask your planner which option suits your travel dates.
No. Flights to and from the Philippines are not included, and domestic flights are booked separately too. Your planner can suggest timings from your departure city. The package covers hotel nights, transfers, sightseeing as per the itinerary and visa assistance.
No. Diving is available from Cebu, but it is an extra activity and is not in the package inclusions. Book only with a reputable operator, and confirm the costs, the safety briefing and the weather before you book. Your planner can suggest how to fit a diving day into the route.
The dry season from December to May is the most comfortable. December to February is the most recommended window. June to October is wetter, and typhoons become a greater concern in some regions from July, so allow buffer time in your plans during those months.
It suits first-time visitors who want two islands in one trip and are comfortable with a ferry or flight between them. English is widely used in tourism and transport, which helps. Ask your planner whether the transfer day suits your group before you book.
