Down the west coast to Moalboal, across the hills, and back up the east coast past old churches and watchtowers.
Day one: the west coast
Leave Cebu City early and take the road across the island to the west coast, then south to Moalboal: about three hours with stops. Swim off the shore, eat by the water and sleep in Moalboal.
Day two: across and up the east coast
Cross the hills to the east coast and drive north through the old towns, with their stone churches and Spanish watchtowers along the shore. Argao and Carcar are good stops for lunch and for the local sweets. Back in the city by evening.
- Fill the tank before you leave the city; stations thin out in the hills.
- The cross-island roads are steep with tight bends. Use a low gear going down.
- Keep small notes for parking and environmental fees in the towns.
