[2025 Logon Attraction] Travel Guide for Malapascua Island (Updated Mar)

Transportation strategy: If you want to enter the island on the first day, you must choose a flight arriving in the morning, because no matter what kind of transportation, it takes more than 3 hours to drive, and when you get to the pier, you have to take a 40-minute boat ride to the island. Must-visit attractions: There is a beach on the north side of the island, and there are Japanese ships outside where you can snorkel and watch. If you want to watch the sunset, you can walk up to the lighthouse, but there are a lot of mosquitoes. You can also swim outside Tepanee Resort. Saw the little baby shark! If you just want to drink coffee on the beach, there is a cafe on the beach in the north. It is quite atmospheric and you can take a walk if you have time. Recommended hotels: Don’t choose accommodations priced below 1,500P. Most of them don’t have hot water or air conditioning. The island lacks supplies, so they rely on shipping. Many things are more expensive than Cebu Island. Must-try food: I personally don’t like Filipino food, but there is a dish that looks very similar to Hong Kong-style roast pork called Lechon Kawali. You can try it. It’s delicious with pickles and vinegar. You can’t help but drink it. It’s available in almost every restaurant. Mango Shake, the delicious one is at Mabuhay on the beach, basically I have tried many of them and this one is the best. Thresher Shark Diving: This time I met Eric, a coach from Taiwan. My neutrality is not very good, but I have improved a lot with his many suggestions. Thank you for his help in arranging this enjoyable thresher shark diving trip. If you need his contact information, you can find Migration Diving on ins. Shopping guide: If I really want to talk about it, it’s the thresher shark wood carving. There is a small shop owned by a barber in the back alley. Tell him that you are Eric’s friend. We have known each other for a long time and I think his craftsmanship on the island is more meticulous. It’s not expensive at only a few hundred pesos, and it’s a nice thing to take back as a souvenir. There are also many people selling T-shirts on the island, so pick something good-looking~ I like the ones related to the diving spots, so that I can better recall the diving here. #

It was a well-spent, one of a kind weekend in Malapascua Island. As a first timer, I was amazed by its beauty and life that it can offer. Stayed at a budget inn 500 meters away from the dock side, a walking distant beach and various food store. The inn also serves food or you can stroll around for alternatives. They also offer island hopping tour and it's worth it! I will definitely go back to the island! #island Travel #islandvacation #islandlife #beachvacation #beachvibes #beachview

Lessons come in tidal waves, now that you’re already an adult. They slap you hard, tear you down, and sometimes they leave you suffocating, gasping for air. A weekend in Malapascua can feel exactly like that, if that's what you’re looking for. Before you go though, you’d have to remember important details that may keep changing depending on how you talk to local service providers: • Since Malapascua is an hour of outrigger boat ride away, and the wind in this part of the ocean can be colder than usual, wear a long sleeve • The boat ride costs maximum of P100 only. Anything beyond that is overpriced. • The waves can be brutal, and the ride can be bumpy due to this, but do note that I love you. • Cheaper but more delicicious food can be bought and eaten in makeshift carenderias (mini restaurants) #beachlife #staycation #malapascua

Malapascua a long stretch of white sand beach, with bars and restaurants scattered around. It is the main beach of the island, and there is no entrance fee. It is ideal for chilling around, having a meal or a snack, and going for a leisurely swim. There are even hammocks hanging around that you can lie in them and relax for free. Also perfect while watching the sunset and having friends around. #urbanexplorer #summervacation #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Así, a la diversidad de culturas locales se ha sumado un impacto multicolor de otras latitudes.

Maybe you have heard a lot of travellers say "Mom shoots the loofah", in fact it is Malapascua in Cebu, Philippines, because the homophonic sound of Malapaska is similar to that of mom, so many travelers like to take it. Said mother to take the loofah, better memory. Compared with the well-developed islands such as Boracay in the Philippines, Malapascua has a lot of commercialization, not only natural, but also cost-effective travel. For backpackers, Malapascua is more like a sea paradise. Find a travel agent on Malapascua Island and report a day trip to the island for snorkeling. After an hour and a half, I went to the legendary sea paradise, Carter Gama Island, first saw the sea, fell in love with the blue . No matter which angle you look at, you feel pure in your heart, no pollution at all, even want to turn into a cloud, drifting in the blue sky with the wind, or turning into a fish, swimming in the sea. Pay special attention to sun protection, local UV is super strong.

But what makes this small island a must-visit is that it's the only place in the whole world where you can dive with thresher sharks on a nearly daily basis. Compared to other more popular island destinations in the Philippines. Malapascua Island is less commercially developed. And that relaxing and friendly beach vibe actually makes the island even more inviting. With a length of 2.5 kilometers and a width of 1 kilometer, you can explore the whole island in less than 2 hours, depending on how long it takes for you to marvel at its many tourist spots and activities. Even though most people visit Malapascua Island to dive and see the thresher sharks and other marine life, its small island culture, smaller crowds, and the long stretch of white-sand beaches are what makes travelers come back for more. The best time to visit is between the months of December to April. It’s always best to schedule your trip to Malapascua Island during this dry season, where there are fewer chances of rainfall and typhoon. If you want to avoid large crowds, avoid March and April.

The boat ride from New Maya Port to Malapascua Island can be a bit rough so it’s best to be prepared. #islands #seascapes #beachcheck #philippines #travelwithmai #getlostwithmai

When it comes to island vacations, the Philippines is definitely a top choice. However, with so many islands to choose from, how do you decide? This article has got you covered! Best place to relax: Boracay Island, Long Beach The most famous island with good sea water, beaches, and decent hotels. The coastline is about 7 kilometers long, with 4 kilometers of fine white sand. Sunset sailing and diving are also features. The downside is that transportation is a bit of a hassle, as you have to fly to Kalibo and then take a combination of land, sea, and air transportation (plane, bus, ferry) to get to Boracay. Additionally, there are not many international brand hotels (but it is still the most among all major islands in the Philippines). Highest playability: Bohol Island You can go up the mountains and down to the sea, as well as visit some less interesting cultural attractions. To get there domestically, it's from within China to Manila to Tagbilaran, or fly to Cebu and then take a boat, which is even more troublesome. The most famous one is Balicasag Island, which has a circle of coral reefs around the island and underwater cliffs that are a full 1000 meters deep! Diving to see thresher sharks: Mommy shoots at Malapascua Island Island In the north of Cebu, you need to fly to Cebu first and then take a car and a boat. There are few tourists, suitable for diving enthusiasts, and you can see thresher sharks steadily. Jump to Kalanggaman Island on the east side of the island, there is a beautiful long-tailed sandy beach. Go to Gato Island, there is an underwater cave that crosses the island. My top pick: Palawan Island in the Philippines. A peaceful island surrounded by over a thousand islands of various sizes, with the best seawater, beaches, and one hotel per island. Amanpulo is the best option for luxury, while El Nido and Coron offer good value for money. The best for surfing: Siargao Island Southeast Asia's surfing paradise requires a layover in Manila. For island hopping, visit Guyam Island in Siargao for excellent snorkeling. There's also Tropical Beach, which boasts a long stretch of sandy beach. Transfer station: Dumaguete Dumaguete is not worth staying, but you can go to Sumilon Island. The Bluewater resort on the island is perfect for a relaxing vacation. The nearby Apo Island is a diving paradise where you can dive off the cliffs. There is also a small independent island called Siquijor, which is said to be the home of witches and demons. Niche high cost performance: Ganmiyin Camiguin Only the Cebu to Camiguin flight offers a volcanic island with beaches that rival those of Boracay. The sunken cemetery is a landmark and the best spot to watch the sunset. Half flame, half seawater: Legazpi, Philippines Ma Rong volcano is the most perfectly symmetrical volcano in the world and is an active volcano. It is very close to Donsol, where you can go out to sea to see wild whales and sharks. Nearest to Manila: PG (Puerto Galera) Mainly diving, high requirements, there may be some undercurrents underwater.

It was such a great experience to do the freediving in this beautiful Island 🏝🌊💙

Our favorite time is to spend at the beach. It gives us so much Joy to swim, snorkel and dive to see different sea-creatures. And after getting tired, we sit on the sand. We did talk a lot of things of how much we love what we are doing. Life is too short so cherish every single moment. Take pictures. Dance under the sunset and sing under the rain 😍😍😍 Can’t wait to explore more beaches with you 🌊🏝💙#paradise#malapascuaisland#grateful#amazingplacetoliveon

It is already known to many that people visit the island of Cebu because of its great history, its churches, parks, but not known to many, people come to Cebu for the white beaches and beautiful nature. Nestled 6.8km from the offshore of the northern coast of Cebu island is, Malapascua. Because of its rich marine sanctuary, Malapascua Island has attracted both local and foreign visitors, especially divers. It is best known for its world-famous diving sites, specifically the Monad Shoal where thresher sharks can be seen and observed regularly before sunrise. The Best of Malapascua Island As I was saying, the island of Malapascua is perfect for a beach vacay. There are quite a number of beaches waiting for you to explore and I have a list of some for you: 1. LIGHTHOUSE BEACH If you are up for snorkelling, Lighthouse Beach is perfect for you because of the Japanese wreck submerged in the shallows. The skeleton of the ship is what remains, and became an artificial reef. Lighthouse beach is accessible by foot or a short habal-habal ride from anywhere on the island. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

Year 2017, on our way to Kalanggaman Island, we dropped by Malapascua Island, because it was along the way our trip to Leyte. Same as all the other islands in the Philippines, Malapascua Island has a white sand beach, a crystal clear water, and a healthy marine biodiversity. If you happen to have a plan to visit Kalanggaman Island, I suggest you visit Malapascua Island as well! #wintergetaway

Perth is a beautiful round island with a very fine white sand beach. I was already attracted by the beach when the boat was docked. The island is not too big. There are many tall coconut trees. The sand is extremely white and delicate. The foot feels like milk powder. The sea around the island is deep blue and blue. What is even more rare is that the shore corals are said to be very well protected, and the types of fish are also very rich. The legend that the beach and the snorkeling cannot be combined is broken. Look at the mountains and the sea in front of you. A moment of aphasia, I think, falling in love with the sea, perhaps far more than the beach coconut forest, but in the arms of the ocean, to find the original feeling of life.
