Sardine runs and turtles at Moalboal, canyoneering at Kawasan falls and the oldest city in the Philippines.

Cebu City is where Magellan landed and the oldest city in the Philippines, with its cross and basilica. The island’s south-west is the draw: at Moalboal a sardine run of millions swirls just off the reef and turtles graze in the shallows, the Kawasan falls are the finish of a canyoneering descent through turquoise pools, and Oslob in the far south is the ferry port for Siquijor and Bohol.
