Tips

To extend your trip, add an extra day in Cebu to explore the historic town of Carcar and its heritage houses, or spend another night in Boracay for a full‑day island‑hopping tour to nearby islands like Crocker and Crystal. If you need to shorten the itinerary, skip the Bohol day trip and allocate that time to a relaxed morning in Cebu before flying to Boracay, reducing the trip to 6 days while still covering the main highlights.
