Getting There Cebu has an international airport and it is quite possible to enter the Philippines through this airport flying from the UK. The airport also handles domestic flights, and it is a short journey from Manila, or from several other Philippines airports. The Port at Cebu is the largest in The Philippines, and there are numerous ferries that work between other islands in the country. Our tours will often include fast-ferry journeys between Cebu and Bohol, or Negros Oriental for example.
Moalboal Moalboal is foremost known as a place of great diving. The town lies on the west coast of Cebu, about 92 km south of Cebu City. Panagsama has no real sand beach but rather a rockier beach which quickly gives way to a coral reef abundant with marine life. There are plenty of places near Panagsama that offer picturesque tropical sand beaches for sun worshippers. Moalboal has numerous restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisines, especially freshly caught seafood.
