How do you get to Moalboal?
From Cebu City, take a bus from the South Bus Terminal to Moalboal. This journey takes about 4 hours. From Malapascua, it is quite a journey, first traveling back to Cebu City (North Terminal), then traveling to the South Bus Terminal for a bus to Moalboal. This is the only time that I, together with two other travelers, decided to take a direct taxi from Maya (near Malapascua) to Moalboal. This saved me a lot of time!
