Coverage Area
This charter operates within Mactan Island and Cebu City only.
Mactan
The whole island — airport and resort areas, Island Central Mall, the Lapu-Lapu monument and more.
Cebu City
From the historic old town (Magellan's Cross, Basilica del Santo Nino) to Ayala and SM malls and the Busay hillside viewpoints.
South Cebu spots like Oslob, Moalboal and Kawasan are outside this charter's coverage.
Places You Can Visit
The most loved stops on a Cebu city tour — and you're not limited to these. Pick anywhere you like and tell your driver.
Magellan's Cross
Cebu's icon — the pavilion housing the cross planted by Magellan in 1521, right next to the Basilica.
Basilica del Santo Nino
The oldest church in the Philippines, home to the revered image of the Child Jesus (Santo Nino).
Taoist Temple
An ornate Chinese temple on the hills, famous for its architecture and city views.
TOPS Lookout
The definitive viewpoint over Cebu City and the sea — stunning at sunset.
Sirao Flower Garden
Nicknamed 'Little Amsterdam' — hillsides of vivid celosia blooms perfect for photos.
Temple of Leah
A grand Roman-inspired memorial temple with sweeping views over the city.
Ayala Center Cebu
Cebu's flagship premium mall with beautiful garden terraces — brand shopping, cafes and restaurants in one place.
SM City Cebu
Cebu's long-loved mega mall. Souvenirs, money changers, a supermarket — everything a traveler needs.
SM Seaside City
A giant landmark mall by the sea, complete with a viewing tower and sky park — Cebu's biggest shopping destination.
The Coaster mini bus is too large for steep hillsides and narrow roads. For spots marked 'Limited Coaster access' above (Taoist Temple, TOPS Lookout, Sirao Garden, Temple of Leah), we recommend the Innova or Van.
Not on the list? No problem. Anywhere within Mactan and Cebu City — restaurants, cafes, spas, hospitals, offices — your driver will take you wherever you want to go.
