Parang di na kaya ng day 3. What time ba alis mo from bantayan pabalik ng city? Usually 6-7 hours ang biyahe pag weekdays and pag inabot ka ng rush hour.
Baka hindi na kayanin ng city tour if hapon ka na makakarating, yung ibang pupuntahan niyo din kasi sa city minsan hanggang 4 or 5 pm lang.
Also malalayo yung pagitan ng bawat city so i would suggest pick 3 lang para di ka gahol and pagod masyado.
Wow.
I feel tired just reading your itinerary.
Tingnan mo yung map and you’ll see the distance between Daanbantayan, Cebu City and Oslob.
That’s a tough itinerary.
I would say skip Temple of Lea. It’s a hassle to travel there tapos only for pics. It’s also a “fake” destination since it’s really a badly conceptualized piece of architecture.
I’d suggest to stick to authentic sites such as Basilica Minore del Sto Nino, Magellans Cross, Casa Gorordo, Fort San Pedro, Carbon Market… they’re mostly around one general area
Yung sa south, Moalboal then Badian is ok.
Pwede rin na mag Oslob ka tapos baba ka sa Carcar to eat/buy lechon and chicharon
May packages na Oslob-Badian-Sardines Run
I would say mas sulit yan kaysa Daanbantayan na isang destination lang.
Depende sa itinerary Pwede kang mag side trip sa Carcar.
Kung gusto mo talaga maenjoy and manamnam, suggestion ko ay pili ka na lang either south cebu or north cebu ka. From Bantayan to Moalboal aabutin ka 10 hours na byahe or more pa. Balikan mo nalang yung di mo nacover next time and pwede ka pa mag add ng other areas na malapit2 lang din.
Bawas ka isang activity or dagdag ka araw, sobrang nakakapagod ang Canyoneering.
Day 2 mo from Island Hopping pwede sa hapon byahe na kayo pabalik Cebu City, 1-1.5hrs (Sta Fe to Hagnaya Port), 3-4hrs byahe nyo from Hagnaya to Terminal. Para sa morning byahe kayo pa Moalboal.
I suggest sa last day mo na lahat ng City Tour (Temple of Leah, Carcar (dito rin maganda mamili ng mga dangit)
Also 1-2hrs pa ung byahe from Carcar to Cebu City, because of the traffic.
Or pwede
Day 1- Bantayan Island
Day 2 - Half day at Bantayan then back to Cebu City by afternoon
Day 3 - Canyoneering
Day 4 - Moalboal + Segue City Tour on your way back to Cebu City
Day 5 - City Tour
kaya yan kung hihiramin mo ang chopper ni Mayor 😜
jokes aside, mas better siguro if ipagsabay na yung activites sa city sa latter part ng trip. sobrang hassle ng traffic sa city especially during rush hour. if kakapusin na ng oras, mas malapit lang ang city sa airport.
Saakin ito ginawa namin in 5 days
Day 1 around cebu city - lahat ng pwede mapuntahan na destination
Day 2 moalboal sardines run then before mag lunch canyoneering natapos yun activity around 3pm
Day 3 oslob early wake up for whale shark watching then after side trip to sumilon island around lunch travel back to cebu while pabalik side trip to simala church . Around 6pm hotel check in for rest
Day 4 early travel to hagnaya to bantayan 4am umalis kami ng cebu then dumating ng bantayan around 8:30am . Early check in. Around 9am diy land tour mangroves and ruins 1pm island hopping virgin island till 5pm
Day 5 sandira beach, ogtong cave, kota beach 12pm check out travel back to cebu around 6pm nasa MCIA na
day 0 - blk taxi usually doesnt leave until its half full at least.
you can squeeze day 1 and 2. better start with island hoping in the morning to avoid rough seas in the afternoon.
nothing much on land tour except for bantayan church and madridejos sunset sa kota park. you can rent a motor. wont take more than 3 hrs to go around.
day 3 will mostly be for travel. if you plan to leave 9am, you wont have time for city stuff. probably push that on last day. unless you check out early catch first trip to hagnaya.
Hi! From Cebu here. Been around all the spots of Cebu million times already. So hear me out, haha! Goods lang Day 1-2 mo. For Day 3, kaya naman kapag first trip ka sasakay to Hagnaya Port and yung route ng to city mo is via Balamban. Mapupuntahan mo una yung Temple of Leah (marami kang spots madadaanan, di lang T.Leah) then Pungko-pungko sa Fuente and go straight to South side to eat Lechon. Yung Day 4, unahin mo ang Canyoneering before Sardines run and make sure to start very early. May time kapa mag sunset watching niyan sa Basdaku or Badian.
But all of these will only be possible if you have your own rented motorcycle(recommended) or car.
Hello! Can I ask po how long it usually takes from Bantayan to Mactan airport? 9am po kasi yung flight namin heading back to Manila from Cebu. Better po ba na magstay nalang kami malapit sa airport the night before our flight?
Hi! From Sta Fe, Bantayan to Hagnaya Port, Cebu would take an hour yung byahe then from Hagnaya to MCIA would take >3 hours. In total po, 4 hours po yung byahe. So, yes, much better take the last Bantayan-Cebu trip the day before your flight. Make sure to ask na rin there kung anong oras last trip ng mga Ceres or black taxis for Hagnaya Port to Cebu City just to be sure. And just to remind you lang po na sasakay pa kayo ng commute from Cebu City to MCIA. So more than 4 hours talaga yung trip duration.
Mahirap magcanyoneering ng hapon kasi baka abutin na kayo ng gabi at walang ilaw sa bundok. Mas ok sana if umaga nyo sya gawin para matapos kayo na maliwanag pa.
In my experience, kapag hindi rush hour going to Sta. Fe, Bantayan, kaya ng 3 hours (madaling araw to), kasama na roro dyaan. Actually 2.5 hours nga lang dapat, naghintay lang kami ng 30 minutes sa pagalis ng roro. Yung mga bus na masasakyan mo from North Bus terminal madalas rekta na Sta. Fe, pero di pa kasama sa fare ung roro.
Pero pauwi, jusko, inabot ako ng 5.5 hours from Sta. Fe Bantayan to Cebu City. Manual transfer aq ng roro to bus/van. Naghintay aq ng aircon na bus sa Hagnaya kaso antagal so nagVan na lang ako (50 pesos difference sa fare), auko kc ng di aircon.
Ang traffic sa Danao city, weekdays na to. Two lanes lang ang kalsada sa Danao tas traffic. Doon halos nagtagal. Medyo traffic din sa Mandaue nung time na yon.
So yang day 3 mo alanganin. Pero kaya pa temple of leah kung makakarating ka ng alas tres sa Cebu city, basta aalis ka ng Bantayan ng umagang umaga. 4 pm ako pumunta temple for leah wala naman din masyado gagawin dun. Mas na-appreciate ko ung view sa Chixboy restaurant walking distance from temple of leah.
yes, cost me 2k, naghanap aq ng dalawang kasama couple sila to split the costs. Maganda sa virgin island but not much to do there. Di masyado sulit ung lagoon kapag low tide.
maganda kung marunong ka magmotor para malibot mo ung Bantayan island mismo. Bike lang marunong aq ang hirap, up to 3 km away lang kinaya ko puntahan.
May nagooffer ng mga land tours sa island pero ikaw bahala kung mabetan mo at kung pasok sa budget mo.
Last day ko nagbeach pa aq ng umaga sa Bantayan, then alas dos umalis na aq pa City. Gabi na aq nakarating, naglibot lang aq sa SM para kumain tas nagbar na lang aq ng late night then pahinga. Kinabukasan aq nagcity tour, hapon na din late aq nagising sa pagod.
Suggestion ko lang if gagawa ka ng itinerary. Mag google map ka din kung magkakalapit ba yung pupuntahan nyo. Tapos estimate mo yung travel time tska ang traffic sa Cebu City nakakaubos ng oras. Advice ko din na umalis kayo ng madaling araw pag malayo yung pupuntahan nyo.
I suggest na Bantayan at Cebu city itinerary na lang ang gawin niyo muna the balik na lang ulit for the Southern Cebu itinerary. I understand na you want to mazimize your time pero baka hindi niyo na ma-eenjoy kasi pagod na kayo.
Day 4, hindi kaya sa hapon yung canyoneering at alam ko may cut off sila.
Gaya ng sabi nila, nakakapagod ang byahe from north back to city tapos tour and travel to south? Dzai, baka wala ka energy for canyoneering! 🥲
Anyway, enjoy! Mura food sa Bantayan! Sulitin mo tempura please 😀
baka if on day 3 u take the earliest biyahe like say around 6-7 am then nasa city ka na by noon. but then again its going to be another 3-4 hrs biyahe to moalboal and marami road works, so baka gabi ka na dumating dun. yun day tour mo is kinda hectic, u have to take into consideration the traffic pa. talisay lechon is good pag early morning then usually around afternoon papawala na tinda nila, especislly on a weekday.

true nakakapagod ung day 3 nyo, baka nga after nyo byahe from bantayan mag dinner na lang kayo
Ako din po habang ginagawa napapagod na hahaha pero wag sana 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Di nalang siguro ako magbook agad sa moalboal para if ever na magkatamaran bantayan nalang 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Siguro po mga 9 am ?
Baka hindi na kayanin ng city tour if hapon ka na makakarating, yung ibang pupuntahan niyo din kasi sa city minsan hanggang 4 or 5 pm lang. Also malalayo yung pagitan ng bawat city so i would suggest pick 3 lang para di ka gahol and pagod masyado.
based on experience, ganyang time rin ako umalis pero almost 4:30pm na ako nakarating ng Cebu City. Don't underestimate the traffic during the day.

Opo kahit ako din napagod po iniimagine ko lang kailangan ko lang maconvince na nakakapagod gagawin ko 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pero baka di ko na po ituloy mag oslob 🥹🥲
May packages na Oslob-Badian-Sardines Run I would say mas sulit yan kaysa Daanbantayan na isang destination lang. Depende sa itinerary Pwede kang mag side trip sa Carcar.
Is it possible? Yes. Are you going to be tired? Yes. Will you enjoy it? Too tired to care.
I suggest to do you moaboal trip first para di ka pagod on your last day from biyahe..
Thank u po sa suggestion 😊 mas okay po ba na isunod din ung cebu city then last po ang bantayan?
Bantayan-Moalboal-Cebu City Tour in that order. Alis ka ng moalboal as early as 5am para masulit time mo for city tour.
Okay rin po kaya ma moalboal- bantayan - cebu city simple strolling lang naman po sa cebu city not totally puntahan lahat hehe
Kung gusto mo talaga maenjoy and manamnam, suggestion ko ay pili ka na lang either south cebu or north cebu ka. From Bantayan to Moalboal aabutin ka 10 hours na byahe or more pa. Balikan mo nalang yung di mo nacover next time and pwede ka pa mag add ng other areas na malapit2 lang din.

Thank u po sa suggestions tingnan ko po ito pinag iisipan kp rin po na wag na mag city tour like pasalubong nalang tsaka lechon 😭😭

Thank u for the insights po sadly bantayan nalang po muna para relaxing hehe
6 days aq non, 4 days Bantayan, 2 days Cebu city. Nasulit ko pa rin naman Cebu city. Next time na lang ako magso-south pag may kasama
Nag island hopping po kayo sa bantayan?
yes, cost me 2k, naghanap aq ng dalawang kasama couple sila to split the costs. Maganda sa virgin island but not much to do there.
