How to get to Moalboal, Cebu

Cebu City to Moalboal
The best way to reach Moalboal from the city is by Bus. For me it is the most comfortable and safest way to get to my destination of Moalboal.

At Cebu Southbus Terminal (near E-mall) you can take a ceres liner, and right across Cebu Southbus Terminal, you may also find Librando Buses. 2-3 hours ride.

Fares:
Ceres Liner : 5Php terminal fee + 97 Php
Librando: 107 Php


Other options is also at One Citilink Cebu, V-hires (van for hires), which are modified Vans, that can occupy 18 passengers plus 1 driver. Because of the discomfort and safty reasons I prefer a bus. But on the good side, does a V-hire have aircon and goes straight to Moalboal, no stop-n-go like in the Bus. Fare is 100 Php. I used to pay another seat though for more comfort, so 200 Php for me, since they squeeze 4 people in one rowe, and you feel like a sardine in a can. It is also a 2-3 hours ride.


Cebu Mactan Airport to Moalboal


If you are a tourist and arrive at Cebu Mactan Airport and want to get to Moalboal there are also several ways to reach your destination. If you have already made reservations at a resort in Moalboal, they are most likely to have also a shuttle service, and will pick you up at the airport and bring you directly to the resort. What I have observed although is that those services are mostly very pricy.

So what you can do is, you can either take a taxi from the airport or use the methods above to get to Moalboal.

IMPORTANT! 
Yellow Airport Taxis differ in price from the White Taxis. While flagdown in a 


White taxi : Flagdown 40Php and 3.50Php every 300 meters
Yellow Airport taxi: Flagdown 70Php and 4Php every 300 meters


1. Service offered from a resort --> about 5,000 Php +/-


2.You can take a taxi for 200-300 Pesos to the city, and then take either a Bus or V-hire 
    300 - 400 Php


3. Take a taxi from the airport to Moalboal 2,500 Php +/-, while other taxi drivers will ask for 3,000 Php, but you can negotiate with them


4. Rent a car and drive yourself ( unfortunately I do not have any rates on how much it is to rent a car). If you drive yourself, gasoline from the city to moalboal takes usually about 500Php. I recommend although to fulltank the car in Minglanilla at Oil or Seaoil ( 46php per liter), since gasoline in Moalboal costs about 53.50php, and of course you will still need another 500php of gasoline to get back to the city. In Moalboal itself I recommend to buy gasoline at the newly opened gasoline station D'Acers, rather than at Petron, since at Petron they have tried to fool several times foreigners already. For example: letting them pay for 13 liters gasoline, for a motorcyle where only 5 liters fit in.

5. Make a deal with known drivers. I once had an offer by a taxi driver to take me from the city to Moalboal for 1600 Php. But 2,000Php is already a good price, while most drivers will probably ask for about 2,500 Php. Just do your best at negotiating :).






If you are interested in finding a fair and safe driver for you, you can either leave a comment or  you can message me at moalboalalon@hotmail.com and let me know. I am most likely to arrange a good price for a Van but am also able to find other drivers of taxis and SUVs at a good price.
