Island Hopping Cycling Adventure: The Ultimate Visayan Loop - takes us around the entire island of Bohol after riding the southeast coast of Cebu Island, with a wide variety of activities and adventures along the way. For more details please look at our itinerary and trip details. Our route has been carefully crafted to make the best of the amazing scenery, white sand beaches, biking roads, resorts, and the best guides and helpers to make sure you see the very best Cebu, Bohol, and Siquijor Islands have to offer. For the adventure seeker, we have included both water activities such as endless snorkeling opportunities, Ziplines, and kayaking options to exciting island hopping and a very special Tarsier tour.

Cebu Island is long and narrow with a mountainous central spine and the most important island in the Visayas region of the Philippines.

Cebu has a lot to offer for adventure seekers out there. From fun water activities such as snorkeling and diving to exciting canyoneering and white water rafting, the island has what it takes to keep any outsider want to stay.

Bohol is a province in the Central Visayas Region and is the 10th largest island in the Philippines. Bohol Island ranks among the best destinations in Southeast Asia as few places on earth combine natural beauty with interesting man-made structures so well.

The province is a popular tourist destination with its beaches and resorts. The Chocolate Hills, numerous mounds of brown-colored limestone formations, are the most popular attraction.

The tarsier, also a major attraction to Bohol, is the smallest living primate that exists in several South East Asian countries today.

Siquijor is the third smallest province in the Philippines. Legend tells of a “King Kihod” as the source of the island’s name. Old residents also called the island “Katugasan” from the Molave (“tugas”) trees that cover the hill.

Siquijor is recognized as a center of mystic power and a capital of mystic activities and black magic. Siquijor is known for the infamous agimat and gayuma. In spite of this, Siquijor offers incredible sites and sights and is rapidly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines.
