Here is our Bohol to Cebu Itinerary for 3 days 2 nights, we use this during our tour. If you follow this itinerary you will experience two modes of transportation which are by airplane and ferry boat, aside from the usual tricycle, taxi, and van ride.

Our condition was two of us were adult and we brought with us our 2-year-old son (at the time this post was published). Also, this travel happened during a long weekend holiday in the Philippines. We fly to Bohol on the morning of Saturday, and we go back to Manila on Monday afternoon.

You can use this itinerary as a reference for your future tour in Bohol and Cebu for 3 days 2 nights. Just make adjustments as maybe we have a different situation. Maybe you are only traveling as a couple, or you already have a kid younger / older than the 2-year-old when you get to visit these two beautiful cities in the Visayas. You can also innovate, to maximize your vacation schedule. You can leave Friday afternoon in Manila so in the evening you are already in Bohol.

      Hi, actually nakalimutan ko na kung how much pero I’ll try to recall it. Medyo napamahal lang kasi sa PAL kami bumili ng plane ticket. Pero it won’t consume 20K naman po.
