According to https://www.thepinaysolobackpacker.com/osmena-peak-dalaguete-cebu/ .
“Osmeña Peak, the highest mountain in Cebu is a cluster of green jagged hills like a deformed twin of Chocolate Hills of Bohol hugging the shorelines of Badian”.
“This part of Dalaguete is reminiscent of Benguet. A serene town with low temperatures dotted with pine trees. A remote village inhabited mostly by vegetable farmers sporting their jackets, boots and jeans. And you will meet children eagerly helping their families in their farm work. Here you’ll see vines crawling in trees and gardens, rooster cocking and cozy wood houses.”
First take a bus that going for Oslob or Santander at South Bus Terminal in Cebu City near E-mall. Bus fare is about PHP 106 and travel time is going to take approximately 3 hours. Tell the conductor and/or driver that you will get off at Dalaguete and also ask for the right direction to Osmeña Peak. The Landmarks are 7Eleven and Julie’s Bakeshop fronting each other.
At Dalaguete ,ask were to hire a habal-habal (motorbike) that goes directly to Osmeña Peak. Fare is PHP 100 per person (one way), the motorbike can accommodate 2 persons, so if you are alone, you have to pay for two (PHP 200 per way). To simplify, PHP 200 per way per motorbike to Osmena Peak. Roundtrip motorbike fare is PHP 400, good for two persons.
At the jumping-off point to Osmeña Peak, tourists/hikers need to sign at the Osmeña Peak Tourism Center/ Hiker’s Center (see photo below) and pay the Osmeña Peak entrance fee of PHP 30 per person. Always ask for official receipt.
Local guides will also approach you, there is no regulated guide fee, the guide will most likely tell you it’s up to you, but usually PHP 150 per guide will do.
Hike to Osmeña Peak summit from the jumping-off point is about 20-25 minutes only. The hike is fairly easy, by far my easiest hike.
Osmeña Peak is usually foggy in the morning, so best to schedule your hike in the afternoon. Osmeña Peak is also a good spot for sunset watching.
There is a camping ground in Osmeña Peak if you plan to stay there overnight, bring your own tent. Camping fee is Php 50 per person. Otherwise, Osmeña Peak can be done as a day trip, see itinerary below for Osmeña Peak day trek.
