In a country that is made up of over 7,100 islands and islets, travel has a lot to do with transportation. Rest assured that options are endless for getting around, some typical and others quite unique.
.
There are regular flights from Manila to Cebu on a large number of airlines, including Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific airlines. Getting to Moalboal is incredibly easy, with hourly flights each day from Manila to Mactan on Philippine Airlines & Cebu Pacific airlines. Taxis and cars can be hired at the airport for approximately US$60.00 one way or 2000 pesos on the meter.
.
Once I heard of a taxi driver telling a guests that it was the custom to pay his round trip back to the city THIS IS NOT TRUE don’t get scammed like this just refuse an tell him to call the police it if want to try this.Belive me he will not call any police
One can also take the airconditioned bus – even more comfortable than a taxi From the airport, that cost 100 pesos in 2011 , it best to take a taxi to the south bus terminal; ordinary buses to Moalboal run regularly about every 30 mins apart from here taking around 2½ hours – from the cebu south bus terminal for approximately 100 pesos or US$2 one way to Moalboal town proper.
Paying for your bus fair is easy sense they will be ask you after you leave the bus terminal you distension, I never been charged the same price in six years. Paying for it you will have to be in pesos they will not take dollars or Euro, the resorts will take your dollars or Euro but you real should have changed you money before leaving the city behind sense
.
There is what we call a V_HIRE this is a van that holds about 9 people but they will try an get in 15 people or more ill never us it. If you come from Europe or the states your quickly learn the drivers here don’t not use defense diving , they take risks of over taking on blind curves as thought they could see around them , best to stay out of these vans
there is no [ ATM ] machines in Moalboal 2011
From there, a 120-peso tricycle ride over a bumpy gravel and dust road will give you the right local flavor to start off your dive vacation.
Before you get in to the tricycle, discuss the price with the driver, tell him where you want to go [ Asian Belgian Resort ]
set your price, he will most likely try and talk you in to going some wears else sense he will get a large commission from that resort if he can.
May be your still not sure as to where to go yet , why not check trip advisor under (ASIAN BELGIAN RESORT ) Asian Belgian Resort has great trip advisor reports an their the lowest priced on their rooms , beer an food as well as there diver trips
Reminder , if we know your coming by bus our truck will pick you up in Moalboal an you can for go the above
The above is for the adventures at heart , personal I can tell you that if I had never been to the Philippines I would prefer to be picked up at the airport by one of the resorts trusted personnel and delivered right to the resorts door ,
Our driver will be happy to take you to a ATM machine also take you to a currency exchange,befor you leave the city contact us for this service so we can arrange everything for you.

When visiting Moalboal Cebu Philippines you will find no shortage of pedcabs an tricycle as you wind your self thur between the bus to moalboal that has stopped an pasting venders wanting to sell there wears , for sure there will be many tricycle drivers asking (Where You Go Joe ) seems all white skins are named Joe , this is a throw back to the 1940 an the GI joes , seem we lost 66 years hu….
.
Looking around you might come a road side cafe full of expats with a table full of beer bottles never mind its only 9 am ,its all part of the experience to give you the right local flavor to start off your dive vacation in moalboal cebu Philippines.

VISA: When you enter the Philippines you receive a free visa which is valid for 21 days. If you intend to stay longer you can get a 59 days visa at the Philippine embassy in your home country. It’s also possible to extend your 21 days visa in the Philippines at the Bureau of Immigration. Anyhow your passport should be valid for at least 6 month.

CURRENCY: The philippine currency is the Peso, but you will often see prices written in US Dollar. It’s almost everywhere possible to pay also in Euro. Creditcards are not everywhere accepted. There is no posibility to get cash from a credit- or bank card in Moalboal ( No banks or ATM machines)2011. So the best is to get enough money in Cebu City. The rate for 1 US$ is about 42 Peso, 1 Euro – 60 Peso ( by Sept 2011). Now these rates change everday best to check on line to see what it is as of your date.sence we dont intented to updates this dayly.
HEALTH: There is no immunization required if you want to enter the philippines. Anyhow it’s advisable to get immunization for tetanus and hepatitis A. All major cities have modern hospitals with professional doctors and well sorted pharmacies.
ELECTRICITY: 220 V, 60 Hz. Philippine outlets are not fitting for international plugs, some resorts got international outlets, otherwise you have to ask for an adapter .
COMMUNICATION: Technology is developing fast, so it’s nearly everywhere possible to find a telephone, fax, cellular phone or even send an e-mail. Internet cafes are plenty in big cities and they are very efficient and quite cheap.You will also find an internet cafe in Moalboal. Even most of the cellular phones work without any problems (Globe and Smart).
We do have Internet at the resort, a little slow but working an your wecome to us it

SAFETY:
Well that a good one, personal I feel more safe here than I do in my own country, but saying that I have to add that my mother had a sign above her back door of her house saying, Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Best to take your safety serious and personal, for me when Im in the city it not uncommon for my wallet to be in my front pocket
This is a country of the super rich and the super poor, for you they see you as a walking bank, you eather have a dollar or a euro on you head they dont know which but they see you this way
I never heard of one of our guess being robed in travel, but I have heard of the local people being robed when they had used a jeepney.I heard of locals robed in taxies, when they were by them selfs , I heard of taxies robed by locals.
Best to travel in pairs, if your that adventures at heart , watch out for pick pockets . reminder as a guess here you will most likely have to ask for help from the locals, if they seem overly friendly this may be the very shark tha
