Join an island hopping trip through some of the stunning volcanic islands of the Philippines by bike and boat.
With 7,107 islands to choose from in the Philippines, it’s hard to decide where to start. The Visayas group of islands offers a diverse sampling to explore the Philippines by mountain bike. From the long and narrow island of Cebu we ferry to Bohol and the famous Chocolate Hills, to mysterious Siquijor and on to Negros before returning to Cebu.
Explore volcanic islands
Almost all of the islands of the Philippines are volcanic in origin. Witness some of these cloud-scraping craters towering above the lush tropical paradises and sublime sandy beaches. Wake up to rush through rainforested tracks, and end the day with a plunge into crystal clear waters to admire the shimmering and lively coral reef communities.
Meeting at Cebu to take advantage of the international airport, the next day you are off to Bohol by boat. Riding directly from the dock, you’ll explore this unique island that is home to the big-eyed tarsiers, terraced ride fields and languid rivers. Then head to the more remote resort town of Anda and explore the white sands of Alona Beach on the southern tip of Panglao Island.
The next destination is Siquijor Island which is known for its mystic healers who live in the highlands. From here you’ll make your way back to Cebu with a brief ride on the island of Negros on the way there. Ride up the coast of Cebu before crossing the hilly core to the east coast and transferring to Cebu City.
Island hopping
By island hopping you’ll notice how different the islands are, despite being so close to each other, but one thing they do have in common are the exuberant, fun loving and easygoing Filipinos, and you’ll no doubt sing a song or two with them along the way!
