Search flights from CEB to ZAM
Southern Cebu Coast
Clear views of the coastal towns of Argao, Dalaguete, and the famous whale shark area of Oslob.
Mount Talinis
Also known as Cuernos de Negros, these dramatic twin peaks dominate the horizon near Dumaguete.
Apo Island
The tiny, world-renowned marine sanctuary appears as a lone emerald gem in the Mindanao Sea.
Sulu Sea Horizon
Endless vistas of the Sulu Sea, particularly stunning during late afternoon flights.
Dipolog and Dapitan
The twin cities of Zamboanga del Norte visible as the flight crosses the northern tip of the peninsula.
The right side is superior for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare while you photograph the volcanoes of Negros. Look out for the distinct silhouette of Apo Island shortly after passing the southern tip of Cebu.
