Moalboal to Bohol

Land at Mactan–Cebu and take Cebu Tours’ prebooked sedan to your city hotel, about ₱2,000 for up to three people. Reserve at cebutours.ph at least a day ahead and allow around forty-five to ninety minutes for the bridge and city roads. Choose a downtown room near E-Mall and Cebu South Bus Terminal for the morning departure. If you arrive early, leave the bags there and spend around two hours between Magellan’s Cross, the Basilica del Santo Niño and the free National Museum beside Plaza Independencia. The museum closes at 6pm. Eat lechon with puso, rice packed in woven palm leaves, before walking back through downtown; a late landing leaves the heritage walk for another trip.

Walk about five to ten minutes from a hotel near E-Mall to Cebu South Bus Terminal and board a Ceres bus signed Bato via Barili around 6–7am. Pay at the terminal: roughly ₱200–250 per person for the air-conditioned bus and two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half hours to Moalboal. A private tricycle to Panagsama is about ₱100–200 per vehicle and takes ten to fifteen minutes. After leaving your bag at the room, join Highland Adventures’ one-hour shore snorkel from about ₱500 per person, booked at highlandadventuresph.com. The guide, goggles and flotation gear are included; reach the Panagsama meeting point yourself. Eat chicken adobo with rice nearby, then follow the guide into the water to find the sardines and look for turtles.
