How to get to Moalboal from Cebu Airport by bus

A more budget-friendly option is to take the Ceres Bus from Cebu Airport to Moalboal. However, as this bus isn’t direct, travelers will need to take a taxi to the South Bus Terminal in the center of Cebu to catch the bus. The Ceres buses run daily, with no real fixed schedule, and the total journey time to Moalboal will be around 4 hours.

As there’s no fixed schedule for these buses, you can have up to an hour-long wait and buses are often extremely full, offering only standing room.

Convenience

Although taking the bus from Cebu Airport to Moalboal is a cost-savvy option, it’s highly inconvenient and often uncomfortable.

Not only will you have to add the cost and time it takes to get a taxi from Cebu Airport to the South Bus Terminal, but you may also have an extremely long wait for a bus with seats available.

Editor’s Note

Taking a taxi on either side of the bus journey adds time and cost to your journey. Instead, why not take a private transfer for the complete journey and save around 2 hours of travel time?

Useful Tips

Be very clear about your destination when buying the ticket from the driver, as this will determine your fare.
