This is a great spot to hang out with a bunch of friends and family. It has one of the most beautiful white-sand bars in the country and contrasted so nicely with clear blue water and surrounding reefs. It is totally isolated and separated from all the commotions back in the city.

The adventure to the waterfall is the attraction. You will walk through the water, along with bamboo bridges and at one point scale straight up the waterfall aided by a strong rope. Aguinid falls is challenging but never intimidating – that’s how it packages itself to the adventurous spirits who are willing to undergo their first mini-canyoneering experience.

It's the biggest attraction in Moalboal is the sardine run. You can also just snorkel on the surface and still witness this natural phenomenon. The best part about the sardines is that they’re only 30-meters from the shore. Plus if you are lucky you can also swim with the turtles.

Casino peak (or now officially Lugsangan peak) is a distinct monolith among an expanse of jagged hills at the highlands of Dalaguete, Cebu elevating for about 1003 meters above sea level. The peak is easily identifiable because of its fang-looking shape. Once at the top, the peak overlooks a visual treat of dotted moss-green hills reminiscent of Bohol. Casino can only cater 20-25 visitors at a time and walking through its peak requires extra caution because of its narrow form.
