In a nutshell
I'll be back!
davidjo Says: If you get tired of diving and swimming take a bus south to Badan and take the 1.5km walk to Kawasan Falls, there are actually 3 of them. There is now an expensive resort there so take your own food and drink. Cottages and rafts are available to rent, or you can stay...
Matthewstanford Says: Hire a mountain bike from Planet action which is at the southern end of the beach area. I got a good quality mountain bike and explored the villages north and south of Moalboal. Theres loads of places selling drinks if you forget to stock up.
wdaf Says: Learn Freediving in Moalboal, Cebu. Diving on a single breath of air. Everybody can learn it. Check Website for more infos.
gabyne Says: There's not much else to do apart from diving. But the diving's good (altough there weren't many different diving spots in 1998); although this was before the big El Nino year. I have no idea how much the area was affected by this natural desaster.
Yezber Says: Panagsama beach is 4 km from a real beach. So you're here for ONE reason!!! Diving! The wall dives at Pescador Island are outstanding and the coral reefs up and down the coast are also really good.There are at least 10 dive shops and at least 10 good dive sites - so get in...
LexP Says: There are two main destinations here - Basdaku and Pinagsama. I personally prefer basdaku as this has a km long white sand beach. Pinagsama is mainly the closest jump off to Pescador Island has very few small pockets of white sand.You will find most hotels in Basdaku such as...

Ravenala: Best Resort in Moalboal - Home Away from Home
rebeccadv Says: Ravenala is unique, its attractive bungalows that house the rooms, and the restaurant/common area were designed and built by the owners, the Schaaps (Eddie has been involved in many projects in Europe including more recently [200?] the Motorola headquarter in Germany);...
Moalboal backpacker lodge: A good Backpackers
Matthewstanford Says: One of the few proper backpacker places in the Philippines ran by a friendly and very helpful German. Slept in the big dorm room upstairs and it was OK. Only complaint was the showers were freezing cold........As you come from Moalboal proper you turn left and its about 150...
Clarita's Cottage and Resort: Clarita's Cottage and Resort
jet1218 Says: The Cottage is located in the snorkeling/diving part of Moalboal but it has a patch of sand which is filled with water during high tide. Each unit (at Php 1800.00) is furnished with two beds, aircon, closet, table for four, toilet and bath, and veranda with lounge chairs....
Quo vadis Resort: Basic but nice
gabyne Says: The Quo Vadis resort is situated a bit outside the village of Moalboal. There are some basic (but clean) and some A/C front-row bungalows. Breakfast was taken at the resort's bar with a view of the beautiful sea. Breakfast was very good with a fresh Mango shake, toast with...
Sunshine Pensionhouse: Guesthouse with good Swiss cheese
Yezber Says: Nice place with cottages (double) at 400 PHP. It's owned by a Swiss guy and run by a couple of Philippine girls (Madeleine and Flor - Say "Hi!").There's a restaurant and a nice garden with a fairly big swimming pool. I'd been travelling for a long time and suddenly - in...
On the "main street" on Panagsama beach you can find the Last Filling Station with a perfect view, friendly staff, and a very good menu. Prices might be slightly higher than in some of the other places, but who cares when a meal with beer is still less than 3 USD?
Favorite Dish: They have red and green thai curry, that taste almost not at all like thai curry, but it's still very good!

Address: Panagsama Beach - somewhere...
Helpfulness
They have a pool table, good music, fair Italian food and cheap beer and friendly staff and costumers. It's one of the favorite meeting places for the foreigners working in Moalboal (diving u know).
And if you're lucky the two very charming young girls, Gloria and Rose, are still working there!
Dress Code: Anything - just wear something, don't show up without a t-shirt in the evening.

Address: Panagsama beach - center/southern end
No not the snakes in the road but the ones that try and charge you P80 to take you from the bus stop to Panagsama beach when you have just paid that to get from Cebu city on the bus. Start walking and they will soon knock 30 off the price. Or do what I did and walk all the way.........it takes about half an hour.

gabyne Says: There is an agency offering very exciting "river climbing" tours along the Kawasan waterfalls outside Moalboal.It's called Planet Action and is located in Moalboal.For the river climbing tour you should be quite fit and adventurous because it's rather exhausting and slippery...
gabyne Says: It was a lot of fun to do a horse riding excursion through the Cebu jungle. The horses were quite small, but very fast and in a good mood... They didn't have "normal" horse riding equipment, so we sat on old rice sacks bent around the horses back... But it was quite ok and...
Moalboal is conveniently located 2½ hours from Cebu City and if you're diving this is a very nice place. Accommodation is cheap (I paid 400P for a double). Good diving, good food and no worries ;o)
Small village on Cebu - Moalboal
In 1998, we have been to Moalboal, a small village known for good diving on the west coast of the island of Cebu. Cebu and neighbouring Negros are divided by a small strait where the dive spots are...
Panagsama beach is what most people usually mean when they refer to Moalboal which is 3km inland on the main road. The beach has actually washed into the sea which has ruined its image a bit. Most...
