Why Cebu and Bohol is a Perfect Idea
Ask Filipinos to name two destinations that are considered the Philippines’ best, and I’m pretty sure that you’ll get Cebu and Bohol in the top 10 responses. We’re not about to play Steve Harvey’s game here, but these two places are quite popular for good reasons. To name only a few, Cebu has the friendly whale sharks in Oslob, the splendid Tumalog Falls, and the clear waters of the Pescador Island. Bohol, of course, will not fall behind with its mesmerizing Chocolate Hills, Alona Beach, Butterfly Sanctuary, and the Loboc River. With so many paradise-like attractions, it is no wonder that Koreans choose to traverse the islands by taking a 2-hour ferry ride, among other means of transportation. And as WAUG fully opens up its activity booking platform to international users in 2020, we hope that travelers from other countries (and the Philippines, too!) get the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds. Below I’ll show you how:
