Gong xi fa cai, 2015! Have you made your travel plans already?
Here’s a possible tour itinerary for Cebu and Bohol, Philippines for you to consider. It’s possible to shorten or lengthen it; and we can customize and pair up Cebu with other destinations like Puerto Prinsesa, Palawan or Boracay, which are each 1-hour flight away from Cebu. The Cebu and Bohol package works best though, since you get a good combination of city + beach + nature + adventure all-in-one; and Cebu and Bohol are just 2-hours by ferry away via fast ferry. Cost-wise, roundtrip tickets via Ocean Jet costs approximately Php850 only, compared to airfare which can cost you Php3000 to Php6000, depending on seat availability.
