After a few days on the beaches of Maribago, it is finally time to continue on to Cebu. Here is a detailed look at how to get from nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/ort\/mactan-island-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mactan Island<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/ort\/cebu-city-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cebu City<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h4>Table of Contents<\/h4><nav><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#mactan-island-nach-cebu-city-die-optionen\">Mactan Island to Cebu City \u2013 The Options<\/a><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#taxi-privater-transfer\">Taxi &amp; Private Transfer<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#offentliche-verkehrsmittel\">Public Transport<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#mietwagen\">Car Rental<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#my-bus-via-cebu-airport\">My Bus via Cebu Airport<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mactan-island-nach-cebu-city-die-optionen\">Mactan Island to Cebu City \u2013 The Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cebu and Mactan Island are only a stone\u2019s throw apart. Mactan Island, which is also home to Cebu Airport, is connected to the main island and Cebu City by three bridges. Getting from Mactan to Cebu is therefore not only comfortable, but also fairly quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"taxi-privater-transfer\">Taxi &amp; Private Transfer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most convenient option is a taxi or a ride-hailing service such as<strong> Grab<\/strong> or Uber. This is especially practical if you have a lot of luggage or are in a hurry. The ride over the Marcelo Fernan Bridge or the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mactan%E2%80%93Mandaue_Bridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mactan-Mandaue Bridge<\/a> usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on traffic. A taxi from Maribago on Mactan Island to Cebu City, for example, costs around <strong>300-600 PHP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also book a <a aria-label=\"Transfer online (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/cebu-trasnferz-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">transfer online<\/a>* that will take you not only to Cebu City, but to destinations all over Cebu.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af7241677546&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af7241677546\" 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\/2023\/11\/Sonnenuntergang-ueber-Cebu-City-.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset over Cebu City\" class=\"wp-image-7904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sonnenuntergang-ueber-Cebu-City-.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sonnenuntergang-ueber-Cebu-City--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sonnenuntergang-ueber-Cebu-City--1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sonnenuntergang-ueber-Cebu-City--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sonnenuntergang-ueber-Cebu-City--1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sonnenuntergang-ueber-Cebu-City--150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sonnenuntergang-ueber-Cebu-City--450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Sonnenuntergang-ueber-Cebu-City--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><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"offentliche-verkehrsmittel\">Public Transport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you like a bit of adventure, you can also use the local jeepneys. These are often the cheapest option, but the trip may take longer. Just ask locals for the best route and the current schedule. Depending on your destination on Cebu, several transfers may be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mietwagen\">Car Rental<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you like flexibility, you can also consider <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/car-rental-cebu-airport\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"8229\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Car Rental<\/a>.

It departs from the airport; you will find a detailed guide and the timetable here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on where you start on Mactan Island, you may need a taxi or local transport to reach the airport first. In the end, doing the whole trip by taxi is clearly more comfortable and faster, and only marginally more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whichever option you choose, keep local conditions in mind. Traffic and transport can vary depending on the time of day.
