Malapascua Island's

For some of the best diving in The Philippines

Getting To Malapascua Island

Pickup and Transport from Cebu to Thresher Shark Divers

We will arrange for a driver to meet you at the airport or your hotel in Cebu City and bring you to Malapascua Island by private taxi and private boat. We charge you our cost price.

Total travel time approx 3 hours depending on traffic.

We can also make arrangements for transport from other locations in Cebu.

Please note that with changing fuel costs, prices may change without notice.

Come by Yourself

We have recently moved location and are now very central. If you come by yourself and arrive at the beach by public boat, you will probably land on Logon beach near the Italian Restaurant. You can ask anyone where we are, or go to the right onto Bounty Beach, about 30 meters away. Blue Coral is the big resort on the cliffs to the right of the beach as you face the sea. We are 20m down the beach, the first big building you come to. Even if you are not diving or staying with us, feel free to leave your bags with us while you find a room. We are always happy to help travelers with information about the island and show you around the various resorts.

Quick tip if coming by yourself - avoid the 'commissioners' that meet the boat if you can, they are not licensed (whatever they might tell you) - they will try to force you to places that they are paid commission and resorts will increase your price to pay them. Also beware of scams in Maya and don't pay more that 1500 for a boat crossing unless it it bad weather.
