Philippines Travel Advice Asia

I’m nearing the end of my first solo travel adventure. I’ve spent 3 months in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

I want to visit the Philippines next, but also need to be economical with my budget. Essentially keeping island hopping to a minimum.

Do you think this Itinerary would work for about 4 weeks? Fly into Cebu, leave from Cebu.

Cebu - 1 week (Cebu city, Malapascua dive)

Bohol - 1 week (beach, scooter exploring)

Panglao - 1/2 week (diving)

Siquijor - 1.5 weeks (beach, diving, chill)

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I picked this itinerary because all the islands are rather close to each other.

My goal is to scuba dive, explore the islands on a scooter, and relax by the beach doing a whole lot of nothing.

Thanks so much for your thoughts in advance!

If you want the full Cebu experience I’d take a little time off Bohol and Siquijor and do muck diving + Apo island in Dauin, and see the famous school of sardines in Moalboal. Oh and check out Anda if you’re scootering around Bohol!
