Second, you need to get to Moalboal
BY TAXI
You can hire a regular (white) taxi at the airport arrival or in Cebu city to Moalboal (make sure the taxi driver knows Moalboal / Banrangay Basdiot). Your journey to Moalboal will be around 3 to 4 hours and cost you between PHP 3,000 - 3,500 / US$ 55 - 65. However, don’t bargain too much. For some drivers, the trip is their first time and they get angry when they realize how long it takes. Also check if the taxi is ok and be prepared for some surprises which sometimes occur, like some bartering about the price, hidden costs, and unplanned stop-overs. So that is some reason why your traveling time would be around 3 to 4 hours. Make sure you have the exact amount of cash to pay for your Taxi (they don't have change !!!)

BY public transport (ceres bus)
As usual, the cheapest and the most adventurous method is to use local public transport.
1 - GOING TO CERES BUS SOUTH TERMINAL - From Cebu airport or pier, take a white taxi and go to the Ceres south bus terminal. It will cost you around PHP 300 for 30min ride (depending on the traffic).
2- GOING TO MOALBOAL by bus - At the South Bus Terminal, buy your bus ticket to Moalboal (you can choose aircon bus or not) and go to the waiting bay. There is a bus every 30 minutes, every hour for the aircon bus. The bus fare is around PHP 220. It will take you around 4 hours to reach Moalboal (depending on the traffic).

3- GOING TO FREEDIVING PLANET - Once you reach Moalboal town, you will need to hire a "tricycle" (motorcycle with sidecar) to reach us. There is plenty of them waiting for passengers at the arrival Bus station. The 10 minutes ride will cost a maximum of PHP 150 during the day time (normal official price is PHP 30). Don't get scammed.
Self - driving
If you drive by yourself : drive from Mactan through Cebu City to the south of Cebu, passing by the towns of Talisay, Naga, San Fernando until you reach the town of Carcar. There is a big roundabout where you have to turn right into the beautiful mountains, crossing over to the west coast of Cebu. Here you pass by the towns of Barili, Dumanjug, Ronda, and Alcantara before you reach Moalboal. In Moalboal turn right to Panagsama Beach. The intersection is right after a big school on your right side. On the left side are a couple of bakeries. Directly at the intersection is a big tree with several signboards from assorted beach resorts and dive centers, pointing towards Panagsama Beach. Drive straight until you hit the beach (4km) then turn left. If you are in Moalboal and for any reason, you have to ask for the way, ask specifically for Panagsama Beach, otherwise you might be sent to another beach.
