Large marine park with exhibits, interactive tanks and shows — a relaxing, family-friendly afternoon; good if you want something near SM Seaside or Mactan depending on which park you visit. Check current hours (usually ~10:00am–6:00pm/7:00pm).
Try Cebu's famous lechon (crispy roasted pork) at popular outlets — open evenings (~10:00am–9:00pm). A local must-eat and convenient near many city/airport hotels.
Early departure recommended — Carmen (northern/central Cebu) is a 2–3 hour drive from Cebu City depending on traffic; leave early to maximize time at the park.

If Sugbo Mercado (food market) is operating that night, it’s a fun casual choice for multiple tastes; otherwise choose a restaurant near your hotel to rest after a long day. Many dinner spots open until late.

See the tiny Philippine tarsier in a regulated sanctuary; quiet and dim conditions help protect these animals. Sanctuaries commonly open 7:00am–5:00pm and have small entrance fees.
Dine on fresh seafood or international options along Alona Beach; many places open until late. Good chance to try local specialties and relax by the shore.
Popular full-morning boat trip from Panglao to Balicasag (excellent snorkeling, sea turtles) and a stop at Virgin Island sandbar for photos — operators usually depart ~7:00–8:00am and return before lunch.
If you prefer a land-based adventure, head east to Anda for cliff viewing, beach time and local ziplines/hanging bridges (operators typically run 8:00am–5:00pm); this is a full-day loop from Panglao.
Enjoy a seafood lunch on the boat (Balicasag tour) or sample local fare in Anda if you took the land tour — island operators or beachside restaurants serve fresh grilled fish and rice.
