Paragliding, Banana Boat Ride, Jet Ski, Island Hopping, Snorkeling (PART 2)
Extreme Sport - Oslob Whale Sharks Watching + Canyoneering & Cliff Jumping (PART 3) 


It is the time of the year to bask under the sun again. Most people do not know this, but I really love beach sports and activities. I love paragliding, jet skiing, and even exciting banana boat rides. 


On this particular Cebu Philippines holiday, I did all of those activities including island hopping and snorkeling. I even swam side by side with huge Whale Sharks! This holiday was a short 5 days trip, but I did plenty! The funniest thing was that, I thought I booked a Canoeing trip on one of the days but it turned out to be CANYONING (Canyoneering) - which is a highly extreme sport, which involves climbing through the dense jungle and mountain with no safety ropes at all. If you fall, you may die. Not only did I climb the mountain rocks and waterfalls, I also actually cliff jumped multiple deep waterfalls. It was a huge mistake in not reading and booking my trip properly, but it was highly memorable. The videos are a must watch!

If you like EXTREME SPORTS - this blog post and trip is going to excite and intrigue you. 

As usual, I took Singapore Airlines to Cebu, Philippines. I really love Singapore Airlines as they have the best service and most spacious and comfortable business class seats. The irony is that I thought that I had booked a business class ticket on Singapore Airlines, but in the end, I was a little disappointed when I went onto the plane and realised that it was a SILKAir plane. I paid SGD$1900 for this business class ticket. But after speaking to the passenger beside me on the business class, I learnt that she had purchased her ticket at a discounted price is only SGD$500. Moral of the story, do not impulse purchase air tickets, always do a little research first. Buying at different time or dates can result in paying 4 times for the same air ticket. 

Movenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu




This is Movenpick Cebu Hotel lobby where it has a very open concept and very windy. They provide a welcome drink upon arrival. Their furniture are mostly blue and green colours to compliment the sea and beach front. They also have some intervals of complimentary snacks like popcorn and drinks at their lobby which all guests can enjoy. 


Taste their signature free flow of popcorn at their lobby. You can also drizzle delicious mik chocolate that they provide. 

After checking into our Hotel Suite, we were pleased that the Suite Room comes with a living room, a bedroom and a spacious toilet with a huge bath tub.

After changing into a casual beach wear, we decided to have lunch at the Hotel Lobby. They serve pretty good pizza and fresh fruit juices. While eating in front of the poolside, we played with their POOL Table, Darts and even a XBOX, all complimentary for hotel guests.


Movenpick Cebu Hotel Pool


The Movenpick Hotel poolside was beautiful and they played nice dance music for the pool party. 

Next, I quickly went to check out the beach front. Just a few more steps down from their poolside, the hotel placed a number of beach chairs for their guests to relax on their lush green grass just before the sand area of the beach. 



Of course I chose to sit on a chair that was nearest to the sea water. Notice there is a little island in the middle front of the water? It is where the hotel made a man-made floating restaurant connected to their beach front.

There is a little wooden walk way to the island Restaurant. They have fresh BBQ seafood. They even serve ostrich meat! I dare you to try it!

I paid SGD$450++ a night for their room, but I think you can get their rooms at only SGD$200+ a night on off peak seasons. 

Here's a picture of their recent prices..
