If you are planning to go to South of Cebu. The best way to hire motorbike and have a map with you since there are a lot of places to stop and visit. South of Cebu is a long highway and road splits in Carcar City where you will take the road according to your destination.

Best way to make travel plan to Moalboal

Moalboal white sand

Leave early from Cebu city, and take a motorcycle or scooter. It will be faster and much more fun rather than taking a bus. It takes 2 hours on motorcycle if you do not stop on the way. Otherwise, it will take you 3 hours or more. Upon arrival at Panagsama beach Moalboal, get a nice room to stay (if you are a backpacker, there is hostel for backpackers). In this place, all restaurants and resorts are located. This is also the place where you can watch sardines, and party (this area does not have long white sand beach).

White Beach (Moalboal)

This is the second beach in Moalboal. It is 6 km from the highway. You need to take a tricycle or motorbike to be able to reach this destination. It is a long white sand beach front.  The resort and hotels are a bit of expensive. As for Panagsama beach, my advice is that you stay at Panagsama beach area  and take tricycle to white beach.

Where can i Rent a motorbike in Moalboal?

The motorbike daily rent starts from 400 Php to 500 Php. You can rent a scooter and go around and visit different beaches, also when you need to do some shopping.

You also hire a motorbike in Oslob, just in case you have took the bus and now you want to go around. If you finished early from watching dolphins, then you can head to Oslob which is about 1hr and 30 mins away. But remember, the whale shark is only until 12 afternoon, so time can be a little short if you still watch the dolphins. Once you are done with the whale shark, then you can visit  Tumalog Falls.
