Badian
Enjoy the clear, turquoise waters of Kawasan Falls -- one of the most beautiful spots Cebu has to offer.
How to get there:
Take the bus from the South Bus Terminal that passes by Matutinao, Badian. Ask the dispatcher/driver to drop you off the church beside the entrance to Kawasan Falls. It will take you about 3 hours to get there. Follow the trail found on the right side of the church and walk for about 20 minutes until you reach the first level of the waterfalls.
You can also climb up to the second level.
And to the third/topmost.
Fare (one-way):
Air-conditioned bus: Php 140
Non-air-conditioned bus: Php 130
SBT Terminal Fee: Php 5
I'm not sure how much they charge for tables anymore but Php 200 - Php 300 should be enough. And there might be a Php 10 entrance fee.
The raft should be Php 300 to rent it and then a little tip to the guys who will handle it.
There are also rooms for overnight stays up on the second level. I'm not sure about prices but I will update as soon as I do. The recent closure for rehabilitation has almost completely changed how Kawasan Falls used to be. It's for the better, though! No more people getting ripped off and it has a more natural surrounding than it used to.

Dalaguete
If you're into hiking, you can check out Osmeña Peak in Mantalongon, Dalaguete. It's not a hard climb and the view is breathtaking!
How to get there:
There's a minibus that departs from the Caltex Gas Station near Carbon and goes directly up to Mantalongon, which will take you about 3 hours. However, these minibuses are small, cramped and not ideal for taller people. You can choose to hop on a bus in the South Bus Terminal that passes by Dalaguete. Ask the dispatcher/driver to drop you off the corner going up to Mantalongon.
From there, you can take a habal-habal to drive you up to the Mantalongon market or even to the foot of Osmeña Peak. However, the hike from the market all the way to the peak has good sceneries. You can choose to get one of the local kids to guide you. They're usually just waiting by the market/bus stop.
Fare (one-way):
Air-conditioned bus: Php 150
Non-air-conditioned bus: Php 140
SBT Terminal Fee: Php 5
Minibus: Php 100
Habal-habal: Php 80 - Php 100
Camping
Osmena Peak is also a popular camping site so you can pitch your tent up there and spend the night!
TRAVERSE!
You can opt to do the traverse from Osmeña Peak to Kawasan Falls. It will take you about 4 - 6 hours, depending on the size of your group and how fast you walk. It's a great experience!
You can get the local kids as guides for the traverse. Find them by the market/bus stop.
