Bus, Grab or a private van to Maya Port?
Every way to Malapascua ends at Maya Port and the same boat. The bus is far cheaper for one or two people. For a family with suitcases, a van from arrivals to the jetty is simpler.

The boat to Malapascua
Public boats leave Maya Port when they fill, from about 7:30 AM until about 4 or 5 PM, and take 30 to 45 minutes. The fare is about ₱200 to ₱240 a person, plus an environmental fee of about ₱100 to ₱140, paid at the port. There are no crossings at night, so tell us your landing time and we plan the drive around the last boat. A private boat costs about ₱2,000 to ₱5,000 for the boat.
Stops on the way
Short stops are free: water, snacks, an ATM or a photo. Longer stops, like lunch in Bogo, are fine; we agree a small hourly rate first.
Questions about the Malapascua trip.
About 3 hours by van to Maya Port, from the airport (about 2 h 55 min) or a Cebu City hotel (about 3 h 5 min). Then 30 to 45 minutes on the boat, plus a wait while it fills. Allow about 4 hours door to door.
No. The van takes you to the jetty at Maya Port. Public boats cost about ₱200 to ₱240 a person, plus an environmental fee of about ₱100 to ₱140, paid at the port. Some resorts send their own boat, so ask yours, or hire a private boat for the group.
The last public boat leaves around 4 or 5 PM and boats do not cross at night. Send us your flight time before you book. If the boat is out of reach, a night near Maya and the first boat in the morning is the calm plan, and we drive you either way.
Grab works at the airport for rides around Cebu City, but few drivers take a 3 hour trip north. The budget way is a Ceres bus signed Maya from Cebu North Bus Terminal: about ₱260 to ₱350 a person and 4 to 5 hours, after a taxi to the terminal.
Yes. Maya Port to Hagnaya Port, for the Bantayan ferry, is only 28 minutes, so the two islands pair well. Maya to Moalboal is about 5 hours across the island. We price every leg on WhatsApp and book them in one go.
And the next leg.
Cebu to Bantayan
Hagnaya Port is 28 minutes from Maya, so Bantayan's white sand is the easy next stop.
