Thread: seven days in Visayas

good point leng, i guess i was assuming the regular bus...heck earplugs are a total waste of time on an aircon...lol

Panglao Island is off the coast of Bohol (connected by 2 bridges). The Chocolate Hills are on Bohol. Bohol is relatively close to Cebu...

Oh yeah and 7 days ain't cutting it to all those places you mentioned so don't bother asking if you left out any more places.

BTW, Panglao is very close to Tagbilaran (I remember it being about 45 mins drive), where you can catch your flight back to Manila on Cebu Pacific airways.

Thanks to everyone who replied ! Your information is much appreciated. I think its doable although I will probably skip Moalboal and just head south from Cebu to Santander to get to Dumaguete on the bus and ferry. And cheers for the info about the flights, that will save me time and just fly to Manila from Tagbiliran instead of going back to Cebu, cheers peeps!!

Are you serious? 7 days and you've mentioned 6 different places you're going to. You'll spend half your time traveling. Nothing to do in Moalboal if you're not diving, Dumaguette's a nice town but a little out of the way to spend one night. Maybe Siquijor and Bohol for a few days each but even then you're missing a lot. Traveling isn't just about ticking places off.

We just did it on a fast craft from Santander. Air con bus from South terminal meets the fast craft. Going on the roll on roll of adds more than an our to your trip.

the bus from Cebu City to Liloan Santander connects with the fastcraft .... the pumpboat terminal is about 200 yards to the north in the village and is more enjoyable...fresh air in your face instead of petrol fumes... they both depart every half hour to hour during the day starting at about 6 am... the fastcraft has the last trip just after sunset ... the take the bato ferry only if you have a vehicle or you want to go across from 8 pm to 5...
