Departing Cebu City, we head south out of the city and are shortly in the spectacular mountain regions of central Cebu Island. We continue on a scenic ride over the mountains to the west coast of Cebu Island, travelling through many towns and villages and arriving in Moalboal mid to late afternoon. Approximate percentage of dirt road, off road or mountain trail is 20 - 40%. Less skilled riders can choose not to ride on the more difficult trails and can be guided on an alternative road or roads. Time in the saddle is around: 5.5 hrs DAY 2 – Moalboal to Dumaguete City We have a variety of optional activities to occupy our morning. Those who wish to go scuba diving may do so. Moalboal offers some magnificent coral reef dives and snorkelling. This can be easily arranged and is at your own expense for around US$25-$35 per dive, weather permitting. We continue south with an adventurous stop at Kawasan Waterfalls (optional), then on to the southernmost tip of Cebu Island. We make the crossing to Negros Island and Dumaguete City by barge with a 40min inter island crossing. Approximate percentage of dirt road, off road or mountain trail is 10%. Time in the saddle is around: 4 hrs
This is a vibrant and charming city with a variety of good restaurants, great night life and some fantastic surrounding areas. We have a lot to see in the days we will stay in the Dumaguete area. Some of the places we will visit are: • Casa Roro Falls • Mt. Talinis with its twin peaks known locally as The Horns of Negros • Japanese Shrine • Tambobo Bay • Various mountain lakes and view spots. Weather permitting. We have several other spectacular locations in the area we wish to show you but will keep that a secret for now. You will really get the feeling of the great outdoors. After being so active we should enjoy our drinks at one of the more lively night spots in this very welcoming city. Approximate percentage of dirt road, off road or mountain trail is 70 - 90%. Time in the saddle is around: 5 hrs, optional.
This day is one of two long riding days on our tour with 6 hours in the saddle, including stops along the way. We will head north along the coast and then travel over the very high and winding mountain roads of central Negros Island. Make sure your batteries are charged and your camera is ready, for this day has so many fantastic photo opportunities, with beautiful coastal and mountainous views especially on our ascent to the central regions of Negros Island. On arriving in Sipalay, we park our bikes and continue by boat to the white sands of Sugar Beach. Our beachside resort accommodation will be a peaceful change after living the city life in Dumaguete. We’re in paradise now! It’s time to sit back and enjoy the sunset. We will stay two nights at Sugar Beach, simply because it’s such a nice place. Approximate percentage of dirt road, off road or mountain trail is 10%. Time in the saddle is around: 5- 6 hrs. |
Just 500 meters off the coast of Sugar Beach is a ship wreck situated in shallow water and is possible to snorkel on. This small cargo ship sank after hitting a nearby reef in a typhoon in 1974. Close to the ship wreck is a small exotic Island and an exciting spot for exploring and relax on the beautiful beach. Sugar beach also offers sea kayak’s for rent. Your accommodation is a very comfortable but native style, beach side cottage. Time in the saddle is: 0 hrs. All activities are optional.
Returning to our motorbikes by boat, we will follow the scenic road around the south coast of Negros Island with many interesting towns and villages on the way, we should take the time to stop and enjoy the local culture and will probably meet some of the friendliest Filipinos in the country. Some of the towns on our way are Basay, Bayawan, Santa Catalina and Siaton with many other towns and villages to welcome the occasional traveller. We will have 23km of dirt road between Sipalay and Basay. Approximate percentage of dirt road, off road or mountain trail is 20%. Time in the saddle is around: 5-6 hrs
We have many options today. Our beach resort has a great and professionally run Dive Shop and we can easily arrange a dive or snorkelling trip for you, weather permitting. This region has many of the Philippines most highly regarded dive spots, with Apo Island just off the coast it is a “must” for the avid diver. As we are only a one hour ride from Dumaguete City you can if you wish, do a morning and an afternoon dive and then ride directly back to the city or we can fill in the day by taking a few of the side trails and visit some of the mountain regions on the way back to the city. Today’s schedule is up to you. Approximate percentage of dirt road, off road or mountain trail is 0 - 90%. Time in the saddle is around: 1 - 6 hrs (Optional)
