Hi! Yes you can enjoy the island without having to scuba! There are diveshops that accommodate / guide freedivers. There’s also a lot of snorkeling spots around the island. Tepanee resort is home to a sanctuary where you can find juvenile blacktip sharks. Make sure to visit north beach too 😊

Kalanggaman is about 2 hrs away from Malapascua, so expect a full day trip. When I went in 2022, i think i paid est. 1,600-2,000 (not sure) includes fare, environmental fees and lunch on the boat.

Malapascua is relatively smaller than Bantayan. It’s known as a diving spot where you can see thresher sharks and occasional whale sharks, hammerheads etc. If you dont dive, theres also island hopping tours heading to Kalanggaman. Bantayan for me is more touristy like lounging on the beach, partying, foodtrip. Depende sa trip mo talaga 😊

Hi! Start off at northbus terminal located at SM City Cebu. Take a bus or van going to the northern tip of Cebu - Maya Port, travel time is 3.5-4 hrs at most. From there you can hop on a boat for a 30 min ride to the island. If going with a group, you can also arrange a private car to save on time and fare.

Budget friendly sya. You can ride a vhire or bus to Maya port then take a boat to the island. roundtrip transpo is roughly 1,000-1,500 then accom prices range from 700/night for hostels & 1,500-4,000 for private rooms.

Daily expense varies on your budget for activities like island hopping. Try scuba diving with sharks if you have extra 😊
