Hello. Have you been in Moalboal? There are also beautiful beaches there. Surely you’ll like it.

In reply to Shine. Hi, I do not live in Bantayan, and I have not visite recently, so I'm not sure if it's still accurate. If you have already booked an accommodation in the island, I suggest you inquire with your guesthouse/resort.

“There is actually a Ceres bus that can take you from the Cebu North Bus Terminal all the way to Bantayan. It leaves Cebu at 00:30, 3:30, 10:30, and 12:30. These buses would also be making the return trip to Cebu. I don’t have the schedule, but there is one that leaves Bantayan town at 1:45 pm. The bus is parked in the town plaza, near the Bantayan Multi-purpose Center.”

Hi is this still accurate? I tried looking for other references but can’t find any.

In reply to Anna Malixi. Hi Anna, mahirap ma-tantya kung kelan dadating ang bagyo. Ayan ang risk kapag mag travel during the rainy season.

In reply to Shane.

Hi Shane,
Do you have the contact number of the guy who took you to an island hopping tour? Also, which resort did you stay at in Bantayan? I will be in Cebu in August and I’m starting to plan my itinerary.
Thanks!

In reply to Carl. Hi Carl, I was in Bantayan for about a week in May. My Girlfriend and I rented a scooter for 350 php. That was for a 24 hour period. We asked the guy on a tricycle who gave us a ride to the resort we were staying at. He even delivered the scooter to us. The same guy also helped us plan a day of island hopping on his uncles pumpboat and they cooked us food on Virgin Island that we got at the marked that morning. That cost 1500 php but we gave 300 php for a tip. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer if possible. I had an amazing time in Bantayan.

In reply to Carl. Sorry Carl, I don't know where you can rent motorbikes in Sta. Fe. There are plenty of people around the pier when the boat docks, so you can ask around. The rent would probably range between Php 300-1,000 per day.

Such a helpful post. With breakdown of expenses, it helps me calculate how much I should bring should I visit this place. Would you happen to know how much it would cost me if I rent a scooter or motorbike so I can travel on my own from Sta Fe port to Bantayan town? And do you have any suggestions on where I can rent one? I am planning to visit Bantayan Island next month and this information would help me finalize my budget.

white beach is perfect to relax, and got to see that crystal water beach after a long walk in the bush cant remeber the name, the mangrove and the small cave, impressive!
3 to 6 days is enough I guess then going to siargao and see the ocean 😉

yeah bantayan is great, going back in may, but airfare is much more expensive as indicated, 3000+ pesos single ticket
