Boutique airline Sunlight Air has recently opened direct flights from Cebu to some of the top vacation spots in the country, perfect for those looking to #LoveLocal this summer.
Here are some destinations you can fly to directly from Cebu that are perfect for the upcoming summer season.
Immerse yourself in the rich culture of Iloilo
One can indulge in many activities when visiting Iloilo, however, an activity you definitely can’t miss when in the province is exploring the grand Islas de Gigantes.
The Islas de Gigantes is an island chain in Iloilo that features several must-see spots for those looking to enjoy both active fun and moments of relaxation. For those who want to take things slow and chill by the beachside, make a stopover at Bantigue Island, Antonia Beach, or Tinagong Dagat, all of which are lauded for their gorgeous white sand and delicious seafood.
Speaking of food, Iloilo is also well-known for its iconic cuisine. Go on a food crawl in some of the province’s most beloved food stops, including Tatoy’s Manokan and Seafood Restaurant and Netong’s La Paz Batchoy, among others. Ilonggos often boast of their native chicken and seafood dishes, so tasting them at these restaurants is a must for anyone going to Iloilo for the first time.

Soar through the skies of Caticlan
When thinking about Caticlan, one is naturally drawn to the sandy, white beaches of Boracay. However, there’s more to the island than what meets the eye.
Get a bird's-eye view by taking to the skies and embarking on a helicopter tour. This brief tour will offer you a new perspective on the iconic island, showcasing its natural beauty, which you don’t often get to see when on the beach. Packages can range from 10 to 20-minute flights, but the memories of the panoramic horizon and deep green islands are bound to stay in your heart forever.
Additionally, you can whip through the sky by taking a parasailing tour. Grab a buddy or your partner to try this new and adventurous experience. The adrenaline will take you higher and higher than ever before, as you fly hundreds of feet above the water. For just 15 minutes, you’ll feel like the sky's the limit and never want to go down.

Traverse the unknown in Busuanga
In Busuanga, the municipality of Coron is a popular spot for serene out-of-town vacationing, especially for those residing in the city.
To get the most out of your trip, book a stay at the Sunlight Ecotourism Island Resort, filled with exquisitely designed villas, relaxing spas, and more. The resort is sure to make you feel a sense of tranquility and peace, with its gorgeous aesthetics and nature-centric environment.
While in Coron, you can also throw caution to the wind and try your hand at wreck diving at the different sites all over the island. Since wreck diving can be quite risky, proper training and certification are required. These are typically provided as a diving package, with your diving instructor-slash-guide. Finding the remains of twelve sunken Japanese warships from World War II may sound daunting, but why not take the plunge and traverse Coron’s historical waters?

Become a jungle junkie in Siargao
Aside from the abundance of surfing spots in Siargao, one enchanting place that’s essential for every traveler to visit is the Maasin Enchanted River.
The river is known for an iconic bent coconut tree with a rope attached to it—that, yes, is meant for swinging, surrounded by an abundance of coconut trees. Channel your inner Tarzan and catapult yourself into the river for that adrenaline rush. With the area being surrounded by bushels of trees, there’s a reason the place has the word “Enchanted” in its name.
If you’re looking for something more on the adventurous side, explore the Tayangban Cave Pools, located in the heart of Siargao. The extreme nature of this spot requires visitors to enter the dark cave already chest-deep in water, with bats potentially flying around inside. Though a bit frightening, the rewards pay off, as the cave's exit will lead you to a brilliant emerald-green rock pool surrounded by trees.
Fly direct from Cebu to Siargao starting April 1, 2024.
With all these exciting things to do just a few hours away from Cebu, you’re sure to have a jam-packed and adventure-filled summer. Looking to explore other destinations in the Philippines? Sunlight Air also offers direct routes from Cebu to Manila starting April 1 and Cagayan de Oro starting July 2.
