Tour period: 2023/1/26 – 2023/1/30

last timeNagoya, Japan, this time it’s time for something different to give the little rich guy a different experience. So I decided to take advantage of the Lunar New Year to go to Cebu, Philippines to escape the cold. The most attractive thing about Cebu is swimming with whale sharks. Netizens said that going to Oslo (Oslob) to see whale sharks requires getting up early in the morning, and the driver will drive hard. The road conditions were not good either, so the rich man finally chose Lila, Bohol to watch whale sharks, which gave him more flexibility in terms of time. Because of the epidemic, we still wore masks throughout the whole process, and the whole family returned home safely without being diagnosed.

rich man experience

Arriving at the Mactan Cebu International Airport in the Philippines at about 10:40 a.m., the rich man felt that the immigration speed was quite fast. He was lucky and it only took him 30 minutes to get out of the customs. But then he was stuck in changing the network card, and the Internet was through Klook I made a reservation because there was only one service person at the counter to redeem the network card that day, so it took about 50 minutes to queue up to change the network card and register. Finally, I took a Grab taxi and left the airport at about 12:15. The transportation on Cebu Island was very busy. by Grab Calling a car through the APP is safe and secure, and the transportation cost can be referred toSharing of transportation costs in Bohol Island in Cebu CityThis article.

Since there was still some time before the OceanJet ferry to Bohol at 3:20 pm, I simply went to SM City Cebu to have lunch and exchange money. What netizens said is true. The money exchange in SM City Cebu department store (exchange rate 1 USD: 53.9 PHP) was really slow. The rich man waited in line for more than 20 minutes without making any progress. In the end, the rich man gave up and later changed to a dormitory. The currency exchange rate at Fog Port is 1 USD: 53 PHP, which is relaxing and pleasant, but the exchange rate is a little different, but the amount is not very large anyway, and time is precious when traveling abroad. OceanJet ferry tickets were purchased in advance through Klook, as I was afraid it would take too long to buy on-site.

The Bohol Port is connected to the Alona beach area and the chartered one-day tour is a local travel agency in the Philippines contacted through FB Seashine Travel and Tours, the rich man thinks it’s pretty good, a car costs 800 PHP, and asking a hotel to book it for you is also 800 PHP, which feels like a fair price. The driving route in Bohol Island this time was from Alona beach to Lila to swim with whale sharks. The driver drove on asphalt roads. The rich man felt that the road conditions in Bohol Island were pretty good and it was quite easy to drive without having to go very fast. He gave the driver a thumbs up.

For the one-day island hopping trip on the third day, I contacted Jordan, a local tour guide in Bohol, through the Facebook "Cebu Bohol Tourism Mutual Aid Group". He is a nice and funny person, and he is serious and responsible. Everyone gathered at 6 a.m. in the morning. Depart from Danao Beach and return to Danao Beach at about 3 pm.
