I love sunshine summer time rather than winter frozen weather, also I love wile animals. To pick a destination for a short break to escape Busy, Dizzy, Fuzzy life.. Philippines is my 1st choice!
First the beaches are the main draw. Boracay is home to soft white sand and water so clear you can see the ocean floor a hundred metres out. Southeast lie the islands of Cebu and Bohol. The former has wonderful beaches and a vibrant coral reef. Also Bohol is famous for the endangered tarsier monkey and the surreal Chocolate Hills: over 1,500 grassy hills formed by coral deposits and shaped by erosion.
I did snorkeling and scuba-diving to see whale sharks, sardine fish group, coral reefs, sea stars etc. on December 2018. Those forgettable scenic and pictures printed in my mind.
If anyone who also same as mine love sun and beaches, please ‘fly’ with me to discover the nature!

Average Weather in Cebu Philippines, The climate is hot, oppressive, windy, and overcast. Over the course of the year, the warmest month is June in 30.0° Celsius; the coolest month is January in 27.0° Celsius.
So I recommend to go to Cebu on October through May which is the most prefect comfort weather to avoid the heat heavy rainy season.

4-Days Long Weekend in Cebu
Day 1: ARRIVAL IN CEBU
Upon arrival at the airport, I’ve booked a private car transfer to the The Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort & Spa resort on Mactan Island which is one of the well-known 5-stars hotel chain.
This resort especially recommend for nature lovers, it has a marine sanctuary that is home to over 160 species of fish, clams and coral, making it a fantastic place to snorkel.
Day 2: CEBU – BOHOL
After an early breakfast, I head on a guided trip to Bohol.
First catch the ferry to the island-province, where drive through scenic countryside and coconut plantations to the Chocolate Hills, a geological formation of 1,268 cone-shaped hills.
Then continue via a butterfly farm to a tarsier sanctuary to catch a glimpse of the world’s smallest primate, an endangered species.
Enjoy a long, lazy lunch on board a floating restaurant as cruise along the Loboc River, taking in the beautiful scenery.
At the end of the trip, transferred to the ferry to return to Mactan Island.
