Bohol
Another charming place is the island of Bohol in the central area of Visayas. UNESCO includes the Chocolate Hills in Carmen on the world heritage list for the thousands of geological mounds that turn brown in the dry season. They look gorgeous when they are green and fascinated when they turn brown, looking like masses of chocolate. You also might see the cute little Tarsier primate if you visit the sanctuary there. After visiting the wide-eyed nocturnal mammal, it will be time to hit the beach if you can handle another breathtaking stretch of dreamy coastline.

In Banaue, the rice fields are an impressive sight, especially at sunrise as the clouds and fog slowly rise off the mountains to review the stunning blanket of green that sustains thousands of families. The Batad Rice Terraces and the Bangaan Rice Terraces are designated UNESCO World Heritage sites. Try to make time to visit the Banaue Ethnic Village or the Hwang Village to meet the indigenous people who work on the rice terraces.
Cebu
For diving, Cebu is beautiful with day trips or liveaboards available if you have time. Capitancillo Island is especially spectacular for diving, with frequent sightings of bright coral, tropical fish, sharks and large fish such as yellowfin tuna, snapper, and mackerels. Cebu is a great place hitting the beach and soaking up the sun.
Cebu retains strong Spanish traditions and is a culturally fascinating place. The Taoist Temple, Sirao Flower Farm and Temple of Leah are all amazing sights.

Boracay
Boracay Island is another beautiful spot for diving, beach life and a happening nightlife. Watersports, swimming, cocktails and massages on the beach call many weary travelers who need to recharge and re energize. This is the tropical paradise you saw in the travel magazines, which many call the beach capital of the Philippines.
There are about a dozen jaw-dropping beaches in Boracay and naming our favorite one isn’t easy.
There is something romantic about Puka Shell Beach, where you can wander along the shoreline collecting shells and taking in the natural surroundings. If you have kids take them to Cagban Beach, where there are caves to explore and locals will say there is an undiscovered treasure within.
To reach great heights, go to Mount Luho for epic views from the highest point on the island. As you can tell, the beach life in Boracay is quite diverse and you could devote a day to each one and have so much fun with wonderful photo opportunities along the way.
