Hello guys, I visited Cebu, Philippines last weekend with a friend from Vietnam. So excited to share my trip with you.

We spent 3 days 2 nights in Cebu and Mactan. For the first day, we decided to visit Osmeña Peak in Dalaguete.

Osmena Peak is my motivation for traveling to Cebu. I don't remember where i saw its photo but I immediately told myself I had to climb it once in my life when I see the stunning landscape there. It is like a mini Bohol in Cebu which doesn't need to spend so much time to travel to. Although it is the highest peak in Cebu, no worries the habal-habal will ride you to the jump-off point and from there you will need to walk up only 20-30 mins to reach the summit and enjoy the view.

I could take only Friday off, so this trip to Cebu is kinda short. I was able to just climb Osmeña Peak, visit Kawasan waterfalls, several places in Cebu City, and relax at the beautiful beaches of two hotels Shang-ri la and Movenpick Hotel in Mactan, but anyway I still want to share a little about my Cebu travel experience to all of you. With just a little of time in Cebu, you can also manage to climb the mountain, visit the waterfall, the sea, and the city.

I bought air tickets from Air Asia but I have to say that Air Asia was really bad at delaying. They don't even give us any food or drink during the delay from 9.30pm to 1.30am. We were staying there while staring at the Cebu Pacific passengers eating their food.

Osmeña Peak is kinda easy to hike and it takes only 30 mins to be on the summit, so you don't need to walk up early to go there. I woke up at 6am and started to go at 7am to South Bus Terminal.
Below is how to go to Osmeña Peak from Colon, Cebu City. It's very easy to get to Osmeña Peak from Cebu city to be honest.

Altitude (1,000 masl)
Hiking time: about 1.5 hours to climb up and down, and take scenic photographs there. We started at 7am in the morning and got back to Cebu city around 8pm.
Getting there: take a taxi or jeepney to South Bus Terminal and get a bus toward Bato, you just ask people there then, they will help. This bus station is very clean so nothing to worry about. The bus heading Bato left at 8am, buse is with air conditioning, comfortable seats as well. You remember tell the ticket seller to drop you at Dalaguete junction (just tell them that you want to go Osmena Peak). Bus fares is around 100peso (forgot how much, but not over 170peso). Travel time is about 3 hours. However it was really traffic in the afternoon so it took 4-5 hours to travel back to Cebu.
After arrving Dalaquete junction, you can take a habal-habal. The price is 200peso/each/2ways.It will take around 20mins to 30 mins for the habal habal to ride you to the jump-off point.

Entrance fee is 30 peso/each. Tell them you do not need a guide since the trail is very easy to walk. Bring your hat because it's crazily hot there.
