Quiet and Natural in Cabilao

Hi, we’re Cesearia and Cerilo and we live in a very nice house in Cabilao island. We have no kids and a big house so we welcome you to stay with us. Cesarias family live next door, and the island is small and easy to explore. You will love snorkeling on the reefs of Cabilao, enjoying the laid back way of life, and soaking up the nature. There are many great snorkeling and diving spots which you can get to on foot or rent a habalhabal (motorbike taxi). Cesaria is a barangay official so she is very active in the community of Cabilao.  Cesaria would be available to help you tour the island and give suggestions for things you can do, she will also introduce you to her family. Welcome to Bohol, don’t miss the small island charm of Cabilao!
