Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary
best Oct–Nov & Feb–Mar migration
The Philippines' first Ramsar wetland — a 920-hectare tidal flat where up to 40,000 migratory shorebirds (Chinese egret, dowitchers, plovers) stop over on the East Asian flyway. A short pumpboat from Mactan gets you there; go at low tide near dawn when the flats fill with feeding birds, and bring binoculars because the observation deck is bare-bones.
Going? The planner prices every way into Cebu — planes, ferries and buses side by side.
