CEB → DPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Mactan Cebu International Airport (Cebu) to Dipolog Airport (Dipolog)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the rugged mountain ranges of central Cebu, views of the Tañon Strait, and the massive volcanic peaks of neighboring Negros Island.
Cebu City Skyline
Clear views of the dense urban sprawl of Cebu City and its burgeoning financial districts.
Cebu Central Range
The lush, rolling green mountains that form the backbone of Cebu Island.
Mount Kanlaon
On clear days, the towering peak of the most active volcano in the Philippines is visible on Negros Island.
Tañon Strait
The narrow strip of water between Cebu and Negros, famous for its rich marine biodiversity.
Dipolog Bay
A stunning panoramic view of the coastline as the aircraft aligns with the runway at DPL.
The right side is the 'volcano side'—keep your camera ready for Negros' peaks. During sunset flights, the right side provides a front-row seat to the sun dipping into the Sulu Sea during your descent into Dipolog.
Mactan Channel
Aerial view of the bridges connecting Mactan Island to mainland Cebu during the initial climb.
Siquijor Island
The 'Island of Fire' is often visible to the east as the plane crosses the Bohol Sea.
Dapitan Coastline
Historic views of the Dapitan shoreline where Jose Rizal was exiled, just before the final approach.
Bohol Sea
Deep blue waters known for whale shark and dolphin sightings in the regions below.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights. This side is ideal for spotting the smaller coral islands around Mactan and the mystical silhouette of Siquijor midway through the journey.
