How best to get from Cebu City to Moalboal is what you\u2019ll find out in this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h3>Cebu \u2013 Moalboal Transfer at a Glance<\/h3><nav><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#moalboal-transfer-mit-dem-taxi-o-privater-limousine\">Moalboal Transfer by Taxi or Private Car<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#moalboal-transfer-mit-dem-bus\">Moalboal Transfer by Bus<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#moalboal-transfer-mit-dem-minivan\">Moalboal Transfer by Minivan<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#fazit-cebu-city-nach-moalboal\">Conclusion Cebu City to Moalboal<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"moalboal-transfer-mit-dem-taxi-o-privater-limousine\">Moalboal Transfer by Taxi or Private Car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From our point of view the best and most comfortable option is to book a transfer online that picks you up at your hotel and takes you to Moalboal. Prices vary <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/cebu-trasnferz-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">depending on the vehicle type between \u20ac55 and \u20ac85 (all-inclusive)<\/a>*. Alternatively you can also take a white taxi in the city, where drivers usually ask for between 2,500 and 3,500 PHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on traffic south of Cebu City the ride then takes about 2\u20133 hours; the distance is only around 100 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/cebu-trasnferz-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GetTransfer<\/a>* is an excellent platform for booking transfers in Asia. In Cebu too you can get to your destination quickly and comfortably at a fair price. Another plus is the option to book larger vehicles, which makes sense for groups or travelers with a lot of luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"moalboal-transfer-mit-dem-bus\">Moalboal Transfer by Bus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bus is a cheap way to get from Cebu City to Moalboal. In general the bus is a solid option and fairly comfortable if you take the Ceres Liner. To take the bus to Moalboal, do the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Take a taxi from your hotel to the <strong>Cebu South Bus Terminal<\/strong>. This ride costs about 150 PHP and takes 15\u201330 minutes, depending on where you are staying. The Grab app is ideal here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Board an air-conditioned <strong>Ceres Liner bus<\/strong> toward Bato via Barili. The ticket costs 220 PHP, and the ride takes about 3 hours. Buses run around the clock every 30 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Get off at the bus stop in Moalboal and continue by <strong>tricycle<\/strong> or taxi to your final destination. The price is about 150 PHP per trike for a \u201cspecial trip\u201d. You cannot walk from the stop to the hotels at <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/panagsama-beach-moalboal\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9382\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Panagsama Beach<\/a> \u2013 the distance is too far.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af7241020772&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af7241020772\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tan-awan-Gorge-Viewpoint-Shops.jpg\" alt=\"Small shops at the Tan-awan Gorge Viewpoint, Cebu\" class=\"wp-image-12081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tan-awan-Gorge-Viewpoint-Shops.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tan-awan-Gorge-Viewpoint-Shops-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tan-awan-Gorge-Viewpoint-Shops-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tan-awan-Gorge-Viewpoint-Shops-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tan-awan-Gorge-Viewpoint-Shops-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tan-awan-Gorge-Viewpoint-Shops-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tan-awan-Gorge-Viewpoint-Shops-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Tan-awan-Gorge-Viewpoint-Shops-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Road over the mountains to Moalboal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"moalboal-transfer-mit-dem-minivan\">Moalboal Transfer by Minivan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minivan is the least recommendable option, because seating is very tight and uncomfortable. In general we advise against taking the minivan from Cebu City to Moalboal at all. Still, here are the options for getting there by van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Take a taxi from your hotel to the <strong>V-Hire South Terminal<\/strong>. The taxi costs about 150 PHP and takes 15\u201330 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> From there you can take an air-conditioned van to Moalboal. The ticket costs 230 PHP, and the ride takes around 2 hours 30 minutes. Note that vans only leave when they are full and offer little space for large luggage. Vans run from 4:00 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Get off at the bus stop in Moalboal and use a <strong>habal-habal<\/strong> or <strong>tricycle<\/strong> to get to your hotel. The ride costs 50 PHP per person or 150 PHP for the whole vehicle and takes about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fazit-cebu-city-nach-moalboal\">Conclusion Cebu City to Moalboal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most comfortable and, from our point of view, most recommendable option is the<a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/cebu-trasnferz-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> private car with a prior reservation<\/a>*. That way you get to Moalboal quickly and efficiently, which is also clearly more comfortable than the bus when you have luggage. Travelers who care more about the budget can still take the bus, though that comes with a small detour and more time. We would avoid the minivan \u2013 it is basically the worst option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you have any questions about the transfer from Cebu City to Moalboal?
