In 1521, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, navigating with rudimentary maritime instruments, circumnavigated the globe. Along the way, he discovered a small island in south-central Philippines: Cebu. Deeply captivated by its azure waters, he also brought faith and civilization to the locals.
Today, Cebu is the second-largest city in the Philippines. It boasts the oldest fortress and the oldest streets, and is known as the “Queen City of the South.” The ancient structures left by history remain faithfully preserved in their original form.
Cebu is like a paradise on earth, embraced by azure seas all around, with eternal summer.
If you’re seeking traces of ancient history, you’ll find a wealth of cultural, historical, folk, and Filipino charm here. If you simply want to enjoy the sea, Cebu will surely not disappoint.

The Santo Niño de Cebú enshrined in the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño was given by Magellan when he baptized the native Cebuanos. This approximately 40-centimeter-tall statue of the Child Jesus is the oldest religious image in the Philippines and continues to be warmly venerated by the public.
The Basilica Minore del Santo Niño has suffered three fires, one of which almost completely leveled Cebu. The lead-blackened exterior of the church shows the hardships the building has endured, but amazingly, the revered figure enshrined inside remained completely intact, surviving the fire and rising anew.
The people of Cebu deeply revere and respect this historically and culturally significant cross.The Magellan's Cross is a famous landmark in Cebu City. It is said that this giant cross was erected by Magellan in 1521 to commemorate the birth of the first Filipino Christian.The people of Cebu strongly believe that crosses possess divine power, and they think that grinding the crosses into powder and consuming them has the miraculous ability to cure all illnesses.
Shiseido Island, also known as Caohagan Island or Fishermen's Island, gained its nickname after a Shiseido cosmetics advertisement was filmed on the island's coral reefs by the sea. Since then, locals have referred to it as "Shiseido Island." The island features crystal-clear waters, schools of fish swimming beneath the surface, and the graceful figures of models, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who has seen the advertisement.The island owner applied for Nalu Xuan Island to be designated as an ecological reserve, so the coral in the water, being protected, is particularly colorful and vibrant. The swimming area on the main island is also protected and is especially popular with children.
Thanks to the crystal-clear waters of Cebu, underwater visibility reaches at least thirty meters.The diving spots in Cebu range in depth from several dozen feet to several hundred feet.Cebu is also an ideal place to start and advance your scuba diving journey, with sea beds ranging from shallow to deep and dozens of dive sites and protected areas catering to a variety of diving and course needs.
Not only that, but beneath the waters of Cebu live the gentlest of ocean giants—the whale shark.Imagine the rare harmony and romance of dancing in the water with giant whale sharks several times your size. In Oslob, located in the southern part of Cebu, villagers have long been feeding the whale sharks in the nearby waters, making them somewhat semi-domesticated. Due to prolonged contact with humans, they are naturally more friendly and even tamer than their already non-aggressive wild counterparts.Oslob attracts divers from around the world who want to see whale sharks in person. The whale shark viewing activity is now uniformly managed and operated. You can choose to snorkel or dive in the water and swim alongside the whale sharks, or you can opt to observe them from a boat.
