Hi I’m back and travelling on long weekends. Having a good rest from work stress. Now I headed in northern cebu with my travel buddy. We actually didn’t spend much and only had 1 night to stay there but it was lit.
The weather was good and having the island life will always be refreshing. Embracing the nature and feeling the sea breeze.
We had the chance to rent bicycles which looks like vintage, strolling around the island just by riding bicycle. It was refreshing.
There was a actually a so called “ruin”, I’m sorry I forgot the name of the building, it’s an old one, yes of course, but the location itself is perfect, having to witness the sunset and the calm sea the whole day, its actually located near the edge.
Watching the beautiful sunset, I am always inlove with sunsets .
You can’t be there without having yourself swim in the beautiful and clean beach. Admit it, Philippines is just on of the countries who has heaven-like beaches. Paradise for me.
And a lot more photos
Here’s how to to get there and spend a cheap vacation:
- Head to North Bus Terminal, ride a Ceres bus bound for Hagnaya Port. Travel time: around 4 hours. Fare: P165. You will also find a Direct Bus (Fare: P200), which drives onto the ferry and off to Bantayan Island. But yeah we always choose the cheaper one
- Board the Island Shipping or Super Shuttle ferry bound for Santa Fe Port. First trip is at 3am, last trip 5:30pm. Travel time: 1 hour. Fare: P170. An additional P10 terminal fee will be collected.
At Santa Fe Port, follow the covered walkway to the Tourism Office. You will have to pay the Ecological Fee which is at P30.
Take a tricycle to your resort. Fare: P20-25. If you have pre-arranged service with your resort, they will be picking you there with a signboard.
That’s it. The total travel time from the airport to Bantayan Island is around 5.5 hours, not to mention the traffic and yeah the waiting hours.
WHERE TO STAY?
We just stayed actually in paradise beach because we brought our tent, an entrance fee of 50php and rent for the tent which is 300php per night. But you can search on google for cheap rooms or hotels of you want to stay in a room and sleep. Well we just enjoyed the whole night.
