If you’re not familiar with the Philippines, it’s about time you started seriously considering it to be your next vacation destination. You’re talking pristine beaches, gorgeous waterfalls, unique historical sites and plenty of other cultural activities to enjoy. One site says one of the top beach destinations in Cebu is the Kalanggaman Islet.

The pictures of this place are going to look beautiful enough, but just wait until you arrive in person. This place looks like a Caribbean paradise, and one activity you might want to enjoy there is scuba diving. According to the reviews, this island isn’t going to be packed, which gives you that relaxing feel.

There are other places in Cebu where you can go scuba diving and snorkeling as well. It’s quite the popular activity there. In fact, there is a package I see for vacationers that is for six days of diving, and again, it says that this is a very private adventure. Not only do you get to see all the great things, but you don’t have tons of other people swarming around you. You can also go shark diving, and if that doesn’t tug at your adventurous side, I don’t know what will.

There is a site I’m looking at that lists the top 30 dive sites in Cebu. With so many to choose from, you might really want to see which one is the best or which one is closest along the road where you are staying. Of course, what is a visit to Cebu without a stop at Tumalog Falls? You can take some amazing photographs and of course just enjoy the natural beauty of this spectacular site.

Whale watching is also nearby, and that of course would be a unique experience as well. As for Tumalog Falls, according to the reviews, you should expect it to be more crowded than some of the other stops mentioned. There is also a historical tour you can go on while in Cebu, and part of the tour includes the Magellan cross.

If you visit the Magellan cross, you’re going to also pay a visit to Basilica Del Santo Nino, a beautiful church featuring very interesting architecture. There will be plenty of people at this location as well. You might also want to pay a visit to the Taoist Temple, Tops Lookout, the Lapu Lapu Statue and Kawasan Falls.
