Malapascua Island is located off the Northern tip of Cebu, in the Visayan region of the Philippines. The island is well known for the daily sightings of thresher sharks and more recently the chance to encounter tiger sharks. There is also incredible macro diving, colourful reefs and many other great dive sites both deep and shallow. Plus the best wreck dive in the Visayas on the Dona Marilyn. All of this makes Malapascua the best all around dive location in the Philippines.

Arrival and Departure

Mactan Cebu International airport is the closest airport and is serviced by many direct flights from international destinations, plus countless domestic routes if travelling within the Philippines. 

Arrival:- For people with enough time let’s meet Cebu City Friday 13 or Saturday 14 and explore the city and surrounding area. On the 15th we must depart Cebu no later than 13:00 to ensure making the last boat crossing.  
 
We head north by private transfer to Maya Port (around 4hrs), where a private boat will be waiting to bring us directly to the white sand beach at Evolution (45mins).

Departure Day:- first boats to the mainland are 6 am and we recommend leaving 6 hours before airport check in.  That means midday check in at the earliest.  Guests with flights earlier than 12pm will need to depart Malapascua the day prior and overnight in Cebu
