How do I get from Liloan Port (Santander) to Moalboal?

About 70 km north up Cebu’s west coast, which is 2 to 2.5 hours by private car. The road runs through Bato, Samboan, Ginatilan, Malabuyoc, Alegria and Badian. You do not pass through Cebu City at all - it is 90 km in the opposite direction.

For Dumaguete, yes: the Sibulan to Liloan crossing is the short one and it is the timetable we have verified against the operator. From Siquijor you cross to Dumaguete first, then take the same Sibulan boat. Worth knowing: the Tampi to Bato crossing lands you further up Cebu’s west coast, which is nearer Moalboal, and it runs at least seven times a day each way - 5:00 AM, 8:00 AM, 10:30 AM, 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 8:00 PM and 11:30 PM, about 30 minutes across. Those are the departures every published schedule agrees on; some list more. Ask us and we will tell you honestly which works better for the boat you can actually get on.

Yes, and most people have not. Give us the day and roughly when you expect to cross and we will hold the pickup to your arrival. Do send the sailing once you have it, though - the nine boats are not evenly spaced, and the daytime ones are three hours apart, so “mid-morning” and “early afternoon” can be the 9:00 AM and the noon with a three-hour hole between them. The closer we are to a named boat, the less of your day the driver spends waiting at the pier.

Easily - Badian is right on the route, roughly half an hour short of Moalboal, so it costs you a detour of minutes rather than a separate day. Canyoneering starts at Alegria, also on the way. Say so in the quote request so we allow the hours for it instead of quoting a straight transfer.

Allow around 3 to 3.5 hours door to door: 15 to 20 minutes from Dumaguete to Sibulan port, 20 to 30 minutes on the crossing, time at each pier, then 2 to 2.5 hours up the coast from Liloan. Landing mid-morning generally has you in the water at Panagsama the same afternoon.

No, and we would rather say so plainly. The crossing is a public service at a fixed fare paid at the port - you buy it at the counter, not from anyone offering to arrange it in the car park. What we arrange is the Cebu-side road leg, timed to your boat.

Yes - the same private car and driver, Moalboal back to Liloan Port (Santander) over the same ~70 km. Ask for both legs in one quote request and we price the round trip together. If the way back ends somewhere other than where you started, say where in the Anything else? box on the quote form and we quote that leg instead of the reverse of this one.

The quote is one fixed all-in price for the trip, agreed in writing before you travel, and fuel, tolls and parking are inside it - along with any waiting time or extra stops you tell us about when you ask. What stays separate is what you would choose anyway: entrance, activity and boat fees at the places you stop, your meals, and your accommodation. We do not invent activity prices, so those you pay directly on the ground.

One fixed all-in price for the journey, agreed in writing before you travel, with fuel, tolls, parking and waiting time already inside it. If it would help you decide, ask and we will also quote the alternatives next to it - a larger vehicle against two smaller ones for a group that is on the edge of a van, or the road leg quoted on its own where part of your journey crosses water you are booking yourself. On a trip of several legs we will price them individually as well as together if you want to see where the cost sits. Entrance, activity and boat fees at the places you stop stay outside our figure and are paid locally, and we never mark them up. Say how you want it broken up in the box marked "Anything else?".

The drive, the driver and the waiting time are ours and they are in the quote. Whatever is sold at the far end is bought there: whale-shark watching is registered in person at the Oslob desk and cannot be booked ahead by us or by anyone, canyoneering is booked on the day with the licensed Alegria operators, and falls entrances and the Moalboal environmental fee are paid at the gate. The exception is Sumilon, where the day-use pass must be reserved with the resort before you travel. So the thing worth getting right in the quote is the arrival time rather than a reservation, and that is the part we plan. Say which activity you are going for in the box marked "Anything else?" and the pickup is timed back from its window.

Usually yes. There is no minimum notice on this route and no cut-off hour, so a request for tomorrow, or for later today, is worth sending rather than writing off. What settles it is whether a vetted driver is free for the time you need, and you will have the answer and the price by email the same day, usually within a few hours. A very early start is routine here rather than a complication. The part that gets harder with less notice is choice - holding a particular vehicle size or an exact pickup hour - not whether the journey can happen, so send the date and, if the timing is tight, the hour you need to be moving.

Nothing to ask for a quote. Once you are happy with the price it is two steps, not a choice between two: a booking fee paid online (card, bank transfer or GCash) confirms the trip and is what gets you your written confirmation, then the balance goes directly to your driver at the end of the journey. The fee is part of the all-in figure you agreed rather than an extra on top of it, and your quote states it before you pay. Free cancellation up to 72 hours before pickup refunds the fee in full.
