Cebu Virgin Island: The Untouched Paradise of Bantayan

Wake up. Work. Sleep. Repeat.

Wake up. Study. Sleep. Repeat.

For sure, you get rid of doing this stuff over and over and over again for the entire year. Thinking how you would escape from the stress it brings to you. Sometimes, you are looking for a place where you could relax, refresh, and escape the busy life in the city.

Pack your things up! I know a place where you could hear nothing, but only the birds chirping and the wave that crashes the shoreline.

In the northern parts of Cebu in the Central Visayas region, specifically in Bantayan, the number of beaches will make you think which one to go to first. However, there’s this island that will surely catch your attention by the name itself—Cebu Virgin Island.

Virgin Island is a privately-owned island situated close to Sta. Fe, Bantayan. It’s like 30-minute away from the mainland. This spot in the northern part of Cebu flaunts a majestic powdery white sand and turquoise waters. The coconut trees planted on the island provides cool and refreshing air and will let you feel that you are away from the fast-paced and busy metro.

Fun fact, Virgin Island is also known as Sillion Island. According to my research, the term “sillion” means uncountable. Made me think that maybe, they called this place as sillion because of the numerous and different kind of species that lives in the island from the air down to its refreshing waters.

Back to its name Virgin Island. When we hear virgin, there’s one meaning that comes into our mind—untouched. You read it right. Virgin Island is not like the other islands in the Philippines that are highly developed. However, the place reclaims its beauty as this island gives us another meaning of the word “virgin”. Because even though it is untouched and slightly underdeveloped island, it will still provide pure happiness and pure satisfaction to everyone.

Virgin Island’s crystal-clear water offers snorkeling adventure with the marine life that lives underneath. Also, if you are an adventurous person, you could do cliff diving here!

If you also wish to have a rest, there are cottages on the island that will provide you a shed for an affordable rate. The foods are pretty good and will make you feel the island vibe at its cheapest price.

With the help of South Shore Cebu Travel and Tours, no items in your bucket list will be left unchecked. Booking a tour with them makes your travel experience memorable and hassle-free. At an affordable rate, you’ll surely be in love with a place where they take you.

Holiday or not, everyone has the right to unload the stress from work or school. It’s okay to pause for a while and escape from the daily routine you are used to. Same as opportunities, moments with friends and family only knocks once. So, what are you waiting for? Pack your beach things now, escape from the busy metro, explore and experience all the things and adventures that this Virgin Island in Bantayan, Cebu has in store for you!

Cebu Kawasan Falls, Badian

 

Kawasan Falls

Kawasan Falls is probably the most popular and most instagrammed waterfalls in Cebu. We wouldn’t be surprised as Kawasan has truly lived up to its fame. Tourists have never been disappointed with their long travel to Cebu just to see this natural wonder of magnificently tiered turquoise waters.

The famous Kawasan Falls located in the municipality of Badian which is three hours south of Cebu City. For most tourists, they avail of the canyoneering activity in Badian which will eventually lead them to jump off the cliffs of Kawasan Falls.

 

Things To Do In Kawasan Falls,

The canyoneering activity is supervised by well-trained guides in the area. They also serve as the photographer of the group. If the weather is not good or the waters seem unfit for canyoneering, the guides will advise for a different or safer route. Tourists are always asked to wear a helmet and life vest for protection. Shoes or sandals fit for canyoneering are very much recommended. The actual starting point of the canyoneering activity is at Canlaob, Alegria. From Badian, a habal-habal ride will take you to Alegria. You will stop at the Alegria Tourism Center for registration before finally heading to your starting point. And as mentioned earlier, the end of the canyoneering trail is at Kawasan Falls.

 

Adventure In Kawasan Falls

Kawasan has many level of waterfalls. The first one is the largest of the three but is not allowed for jumping for safety reasons. It is usually the most crowded area also as many people try to experience the waterfalls through renting bamboo rafts. Life vests are also available for rent.

A few minutes of hike will take you to the second falls where the canyoneering trail. The activity usually ends with a jump on the waterfall cliff. There is also a swing nearby if the cliff jump is still not enough fun.

The third tier is more of a collection of small cascading bodies of water. There is a cliff nearby where canyoneering participants run and jump into the waters.

There are restaurants in Kawasan so you won’t worry about bringing any food. However, prices are not cheap since the poblacion is quite far and these areas can be very crowded. Resources spike up when there is a decrease in supply. Make sure to ask first the prices so you won’t get too surprised upon paying the bill. There are also cottages or rooms in the area which range up to 1,500-2,500php and tables for rent which are around 500php.

Kawasan may be quite pricey now but the experience is definitely worth your time and money. Try visiting them on weekdays on ono-holidays where you can enjoy the place with less people.
