Santiago Bay Resort provided a special trip for its guests for P180 per person. I was surprised to see so many guests that some of us were not able to have a seat. Maybe because it is Holy Week with plenty of people having their vacation. We took the boat at Green Lagoon Park in Compostela, North of Cebu City. The ride is not comfortable especially for those seated below. Worst that it was 2 hours late and we were able to reach the island past noon with a very late lunch due partly to poor & slow service at the resort resto. Our half day was just wasted away.

The trip is not comfortable and we have to act quickly to ensure a seat. Since it was holy week, the boat is overloaded and some people were not able to have a seat. It's more comfy at the upper level & provided a better view. Being able to buy a ticket costing P180 for special trips intended for resort guests does not guarantee a seat. Regular fare from Danao pier is P150. Special trip is from Green Lagoon Park in Compostela to Mangodlong Rock Resort in Camotes.

Getting around Cebu, one may take a colorful jeepney or a bus at a minimal fare. Tricycles (motorcycles with sidecars) are popular in outlaying areas and in the suburbs, quiet notably within Mactan Island. Taxicabs are widely available.

It takes less than an hour to get to Cebu by plane. Cebu Pacific Air has regular flights to Macatan International Airport. Its cheaper if you can avail there promo. For flight details and current fares you can visit to there website.

We had a great time with our road trip to Moalboal from Lapulapu City which took us about 2.5 hrs. to reach there. The trip was quite pleasant. It's more convenient to take your own car along than to commute by public transport. Road trip highly recommended. Nice views along the way.
