How to get from Cebu Airport to Oslob

Oslob is a small coastal town nestled on the very southern tip of Cebu. A town that is usually left untravelled, Oslob got its name on the map due to the majestic whale sharks that roam its warm waters. Aside from these magical creatures, Oslob is also home to many amazing waterfalls, sandbanks, coral reefs, and even historical Spanish ruins.  

To reach this beautiful oasis, you have two Cebu airport to Oslob transfer options; taxi or bus. The easiest way to travel is to take a Cebu airport taxi, which takes around 3 hours to reach the sunny shores of Oslob and costs approximately €50 (PHP 2,800). Taking the public bus is a slower option, with a journey time of 4 hours and 30 minutes, but it costs just €10.50 (PHP 600) for a one-way trip and it’s not direct, meaning it will involve getting a taxi for part of the journey.
