The trip: From Malapascua Island to Cebu City

We got to Malapascua Island from Bantayan. And here's the trip on how to get to Cebu coming from Malapascua Island.

From Malapascua Island, take a boat transfer to Maya

Ticket booth and waiting area.

The port of Malapascua is situated near the Kokay's Maldito Dive Resort, but you will have to pass through the Blue Corals beach Resort first.
The boat fare is 50 per person. It is a public boat, large and I would estimate that it can accommodate 30 passengers.
If the tide is low, you will have to ride the dinghy to take you to the big boat, this will cost you extra of 5 pesos person. I'm not certain if they have schedules, but I do know that they leave when the boat is full or at least about full.
