Jetski – A jet ski is a motorcycle that runs on water. In Cebu Island, you can use jet ski even if you do not have a boat license.

Instead of circling fixed buoys like other resorts, Cebu’s jets can go anywhere. You can reach the island on the opposite shore in just 5 minutes. Since there is no fixed course, it is necessary to make a firm self-judgment. Please be sure to receive guidance from the instructor before riding the jet ski.  Listen carefully to the lecture so that you don’t run into shallow water or collide with other jet skis.

The large marine jet has excellent stability. Run fast on the sea of ​​Cebu Island as you wish. A splash of water and a thrilling sense of speed. It is a thrill to run around the sea surface of Cebu Island on an easy-to-drive two or three-seater jet ski. It might be the main event of your stay in Cebu.

More than 50,000 customers have used Jet Ski so far. Jet skiing is an easy and safe sport if you follow the rules and follow the instructions of the instructor. The time limit is 30 minutes, but of course you can extend it. Please use it as much as you like,  subject to additional charge :).  In addition, when two people participate, we also accept two-seater.

Simala  Monastery of the Holy Eucharist, also known as the Our Lady of Lindogon Shrine and commonly known as the Simala Shrine or the Simala Parish Church is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Sibonga, Cebu, Philippines.

The Simala Shrine is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage site. The site hosts the image of the Our Lady of Lindogon which is believed to be miraculous by devotees of the Virgin Mary after it is attributed to the healing of those who were afflicted with dengue in the area in 1998 after it reportedly shed tears. The image has reportedly shed tears four more times, the latest being on September 8, 2016.

The image, originally attributed to be that of the Our Lady of Fatima, was donated to the Marian Monks by Terry Brooks from Pampanga. The construction of the Simala Shrine is also believed to be the realization of a prediction by Ingko Niyong Villamor that the hills of Lindogon, the current site of the shrine, would become “holy” once a “miraculous white lady reign in the place”.
