As the Queen City of the South, a weekend or a holiday in Cebu is guaranteed to be exciting as well as invigorating.
More importantly, Cebu has become a rather feasible city to live considering the city’s accessibility insomuch that going to the beach or the mountainside and back would not take you more than an hour—depending on traffic of course.
In this regard, almost everything in Cebu City is within proximity making it a delightful city to live in or visit. While mostly known for its gorgeous beaches and delectable Lechon, Cebu also has a fair share of hiking trails for outdoor enthusiasts.

But the best thing about the hiking trails in Cebu is that most of them are in proximity to the city ensuring that your drive or commute will last no more than a couple of hours in the least.
So, if you have decided to scale and trek the mountains of Cebu, here are some of the beginner mountain trails you should definitely check out.
Casino Point Dive Park The Casino Point Underwater Park is located next to the world-famous Casino Building. First established in 1962, this park is the first nonprofit underwater park in the country (and maybe the world), and offers the best shore diving in California! The Catalina Casino is a large gathering facility located in Avalon on Santa Catalina Island, off the coast of Los Angeles in California. It is the largest building on the island and the most visible landmark in Avalon Bay when approaching the island from the mainland. Top hiking trails in Cebu1.) Mt. Mago (Carmen)

Time to reach the summit: 3 hours
Regarded as one of the easiest hiking and camping destinations in Cebu City, Mt. Mago is a trekking trail that promises a picturesque view of the clouds at its summit.

Known for its breathtaking view of green landscapes and peaks reminiscent of Bohol’s very own chocolate hills, Casino Peak is one of the most frequented trails in Cebu.
Be cautious though as while the terrain is classified as a beginner’s trail, it can get rocky owing to the vegetables planted in the nooks.4.) Mount Mauyog (Balamban)
Location: Barangay Sunog, Balamban, Cebu
Time to reach the summit: 1 hour
While this is one of the rather difficult trails in this list, Mount Mauyog should definitely be one of the treks you should include in your bucket list as soon as you develop your skills and garner more experience. The climb might be adrenaline-inducing as well as heart-pumping. But you will soon be rewarded with extraordinary brain-like rock formations that could not be found anywhere else in the city. Hi

Time to reach the summit: One hour
Ablayan Peak is one of the trekking trails that is totally reachable by motorcycles—that is how easy and friendly the trail is. However, avid hikers and trekking enthusiasts will want to savor each moment of the climb and immerse themselves in the impressive panorama they would see along the trail.
Located in Boljoon, hikers are in for a plethora of surprises in Ablayan peak with one of them being the alluring rice terraces–which are rather easy to miss when riding a motorcycle to the top.6.) Mount Babag (Cebu City)
Location: Cebu City
Time to reach the summit: 4-5 hoursCasino Peak Cebu City
Nothing short of breathtaking, Mount Babag’s summit treats and rewards its hikers to various jaw-dropping panoramic views. While the trail is challenging (with steep slopes and loose soil), the stunning views complemented by the adrenaline-fueled climb are more than enough to make up for the difficulty.
However, this trail is only meant for hikers who wish to take their adventures to another level.7.) Kandungaw Peak (Dalaguete)
Location: Dalaguete, Cebu
Time to reach the summit: 45 minutes to 1 hour
Also referred to as its other moniker, “Candongao Peak”, this trekking trail in Dalaguete offers some of the most breathtaking views in Cebu. In fact, once you reach the summit, you are treated to 360-degree views of the city and its surrounding islands such as Bohol and Negros.
Even more, the trek to the summit has a wondrous cave along the way. 8.) Mt. Manunggal (Balamban)
Location: Barangay Sunog, Balamban, Cebu
Time to reach the summit: 4-7 hours (first timers), 2-3 hours (seasoned hikers familiar with terrain)
Known as the historic crash site of then-President Magsaysay, Mount Manunggal is also the highest mountain in Cebu City. As the trail is well-established, it is not difficult to trek if the weather cooperates.9.) Osmeña Peak (Dalaguete)
Location: Barangay Mantalongon, Dalaguete, Cebu City
Time to reach the summit: 20-25 minutes
Of all the listed trekking trails here, Osmeña Peak remains a favorite among many beginners considering how short the hike is from the jump-off point to the summit. Also known as the most popular hiking trail in Cebu, Osmeña Peak is the pride of Dalaguete.
As the hike is relatively short, most hikers visit during the day and head home by the time they are done or visit Kawasan Falls after.10.) Sirao Peak (Busay)
Location: Sirao, Cebu City
Time to reach the summit: 5-6 hours
Also known as Mt. Kan-Irag, Sirao Peak is one of the more popular trekking trails in the list owing to its accessibility and level of difficulty. Reaching the summit can be accomplished with any of the hiking paths available.
However, the difficulty of your hike depends on the path you choose. For beginners, it is recommended that you reach the peak via Budlaan in Talamban but you need to be physically fit in order to do so.
It is Casino Peak! Not Bohol’s Chocolate Hills nor Albay’s Quitinday Hills! Not taken from Osmeña Peak but the roof of Cebu still.
The ragged peaks of Mantalongon Range is undeniably among the most picturesque mountain peaks not only in Cebu but in the entire Philippines. The mountain range borders the towns of Badian and Dalaguete and covers various sitios and barangays of the two towns. It features countless conic peaks reminiscent of Bohol’s Chocolate Hills and Albay’s Quitinday Hills.
For years, Casino Peak has remained a secret while Osmeña Peak of Barangay Mantalongon has gained popularity for the imposing view of the roof of Cebu. This is understandable as the site is just an easy trek from the main road and yet it offers a panoramic view of the iconic multiple jagged peaks that stretch to as far as the neighboring town of Badian, overlooking the towns of Ronda, Moalboal, Argao and Alcoy, and the islands across Tañon and Cebu Straits.
But aside from Osmeña and with the countless peaks comprising Mantalongon Range, there are other lesser known peaks and I am sure there are still not yet discovered that offer equally if not more imposing vista of this spot. There’s Tabon Peak, Lovers’ Peak, Sunset Peak, Kandungaw Peak and the recently becoming popular Casino Peak!
Casino Peak is an icon of Sitio Lugsangan in Barangay Tabon, the neighboring town of Barangay Mantalongon where Osmeña Peak is located. It would be hard not to notice this spot if you are at the village due to its attractive shape, ask any local from the village and they will instantly point you to a towering peak in their backyard. That’s how iconic it is!
Like other sitios in this hinterland of Dalaguete, Sitio Lugsangan is typically rural and laid back. Its high elevation makes it climate temperate and soil rich, ideal to grow high value crops such as lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, beans and onions, among others. Tourism is not the village’s way of life and most locals are into farming. Literally, Sitio Lugsangan is a huge farm.
There’s an easy and not so easy way of getting to Casino Peak from Mantalongon proper. The former is by taking a motorbike (habal-habal) from Mantalongon Public Market straight to its base which is just 450 meters assault to the peak while the latter involves around an hour of leisurely trek from Osmeña Peak or so from downtown Mantalongon. You will be needing a guide or assistance from the locals specially if you are first timer and you decides for the long trek.

Getting to Casino Peak from Cebu City is the same as going to Osmeña Peak. There are two ways:
1. The easiest way of commuting to Casino Peak is by catching a local bus direct to Mantalongon (Dalaguete) from Cebu City South Bus Terminal or Carbon Market, travel time is about three hours and fare is around P120. However, the firs trip is around 6AM to 7AM, which is too late if you are aiming for sunrise. The bus will stop at Mantalongon Public Market, from there you may take a habal-habal to Sitio Lugsangan (P40/person, 15 to 20 minutes ride). Lugsangan bound habal-habal are stationed at the end of the road, en route to Osmeña Peak; those stationed in the market charge higher fee so better ask the locals where these habal-habal are stationed.
2. If you are aiming for sunrise, take a Bato via Oslob bus at Cebu City South Bus Terminal and get off at Dalaguete (in front of 7/11). Travel time is at least two hours and fare is P120 (aircon). Habal-habal drivers will crowd you as soon as you get off the bus, avoid them as much as possible as they charge higher rate (around P300). From 7/11, walk to the corner of the street where Mantalongon-bound habal-habal are stationed, fare is P50/person or P100/trike. The driver will drop you at Mantalongon Public Market, from there you may take a habal-habal to Sitio Lugsangan (P40/person, 15 to 20 minutes ride). Lugsangan bound habal-habal are stationed at the end of the road, en route to Osmeña Peak; those stationed in the market charge higher fee so better ask the locals where these habal-habal are stationed. Alternatively, you may ask the habal-habal driver from Dalaguete to take you direct to Lugsangan but expect the rate to balloon.
Note: Guides are readily available at the trailhead, no standard rate but it usually starts at P150
