Queen City of the South: South Cebu budget itinerary part1

So heres my 3rd travel for this year, I wasn't able to post my 2nd trip yet which is La union but will post it soon! So here's the queen city of the south - Cebu yey! This was my 2nd time to go to cebu but my first trip was purely a business trip.




We depart via Cebu Pacific (flight was a promo flight for 1100 something but you can sill get a cheaper flight when piso fare promo comes) at 6pm and arrived to cebu at 7:25pm. Thanked God, No delays!


We hurry to the South cebu bus station to catch the last trip of the bus going to Badian where we booked a resort at Lambog beach.

You can check the trip schedule at their website
http://www.cebu.gov.ph/cebu-south-bus-terminal-bus-schedules/
The bus fare was 115.00 Php only for air conditioned type. The trip was 3 hours so I think its best to choose a comfy bus and seat for you to rest and also we rode a bus going to Batoo via Barili where it will drop you at Badian.




 And heres the Magic beach resort we had a hard time contacting them when we arrived at the Badian town proper because they promised us a service to fetch us when we arrived there but they were not responding. But the place was nice and cheap, its also at the beach front. Good thing there were good people to help us with there Habal Habal that 1 am Huhu. Plus on our second day, we experienced black out so we have to transfer to other inn. The other resorts have generators but the beach magic resort doesn't have one. I would give a 2/5 overall rate for them. 


Moving on with our itenerary, we got our package at Kuya Raymund Sande . He was really famous in south cebu plus their staffs were very nice too. The first trip was at Pescador Island where we do snorkling, swimming with the turtles and fish. Kuya raymund also told us that there were dolphin at the island but they didn't show off during our time. Aw sad.

DAY 1
1. Pescador Island






There was a surprise cliff jump from the island at about 45 feet above sea level! Wooo! never imagined I could jump that high and my knees was totally shaking the moment I was at the peak, You should try this one too. After the pescador island we went swimming with the sardines too. 
2 Sardines Island, Moalboal
We ate lunch at a restaurant at the seashore where they offer to cook fresh fishes they caught for your group with a cheap price.
3. Osmena Peak
We were not able to change clothes as we go to the osmena peak because we went straight there but I suggest you do guys because it was freezing cold up there. 
It was just a 15minute trek form the drop off point. I also suggest you guys to go there in the morning (we went there at 4pm and the sun was almost setting huhu. Didn't enjoy muh of the view because its starting to get dark) We also heard that you an do camping there.

DAY 2
The most fun part in cebu the Oslo whale shark watching where you can swim with the whale sharks :)
Short briefing before you swim with the whale shark. You were not allowed to wear sunblock during the whale shark encounter and the whale shark watching was only available from 6am to 12pm I think because it's there feeding time.


 Will upload the videos too.
