How do I get from Malapascua to Moalboal?

Allow about 6.5-8 hours total: roughly 30-40 minutes by boat from Malapascua to New Maya port, then about 6-7 hours by private car down the west coast to Moalboal. Public transport takes longer because you backtrack through Cebu City and change terminals.

Yes. That is the whole point of this route: boat back to Maya, then head straight south down the west coast to Moalboal. A private transfer makes it one joined island-to-island move instead of a bus-terminal day in the city.

Our standard quote covers the private road leg from Maya Port to Moalboal. The public outrigger boat from Malapascua is separate unless your written quote explicitly includes it. If you want the whole handoff set out clearly, send your Malapascua resort and preferred boat timing in the request.

Most travellers want Panagsama Beach for the dive resorts and sardine-run access, or White Beach for sand and swimming. Add your exact hotel or resort name to the quote request and we will price the final door-to-door drop correctly. Moalboal charges a small municipal environmental user fee for snorkelling in its waters, paid locally in cash and separate from the transfer.

Yes - we meet your ferry at the pier and drive you back to Malapascua Island, the same road leg in reverse. The crossing stays your own booking, as on the way out. Ask for both legs in one quote request and we price them 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 private vehicle leg, 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. Because this trip involves a sea crossing, the ferry or boat ticket is not in that figure unless we have set it out for you: tell us your crossing and we will say plainly what we are quoting for and what you book yourself. Entrance and activity fees at anywhere you stop, and your meals, are paid locally.

Your driver meets the boat rather than the clock. He waits at the terminal with your name on a board, takes the luggage as you come out, and you walk to the car and leave; if the crossing runs late the pickup moves with it. The part worth knowing in advance is that it is the arrivals hall or the terminal gate he meets you at, not the gangway - the bags are yours between the boat and the building, and the porters working that stretch are local rather than ours. Tell us the sailing you are on and roughly what you are carrying and the right vehicle is waiting when you walk out.

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.
