Osmeña Peak
Osmeña Peak: Cebu's Highest Viewpoint
Jagged green hills above the clouds, a short climb from the road in Dalaguete.
Quick answer: Osmeña Peak in Dalaguete is the highest point in Cebu, at about 1,000 meters. The walk from the jump-off point takes around 20 to 30 minutes and rewards you with a view of sharp, grassy hills and both coasts on a clear day. On our private tours it is an add-on after the Oslob whale sharks. It fits with Kawasan swimming, but not with Kawasan canyoneering or Moalboal on the same day.
The hike
- Distance: a short trail from the jump-off point in Mantalongon, Dalaguete.
- Time: about 20 to 30 minutes up at an easy pace.
- Difficulty: easy to moderate, with some uneven steps near the top.
- Fees: a small local entrance fee. We confirm the add-on price in your written quote.
Best time to go
Morning is best, before clouds settle on the ridge. The dry months from December to May give the clearest views. After rain, the trail gets slippery, so wear shoes with grip.
