    FAQs

    What’s the most family-friendly Cebu day tour?

    Which tour needs the most time?

    Is island hopping better by regular boat or speedboat?

    • Regular boat = relaxed full day with BBQ and lower rates. Speedboat = faster, smaller groups, premium pricing.

    Island hopping is one of the top day trips in Cebu. From Mactan, you can reach nearby islands with white-sand beaches, clear waters, and coral reefs in under an hour. Choose between two main options: the regular boat (locally called an outrigger or banca) for a relaxed full day with BBQ lunch, or a speedboat for a quicker, more private trip if you don’t mind paying a bit more for speed and comfort.

    🌊 What to Expect

    ⛵ 1) Regular Boat Island Hopping — The Classic Island Day

    Cruise across Mactan’s waters on a traditional wooden boat with shaded seating and space for families and groups. The route includes San Vicente Marine Sanctuary, optional snorkeling at Hilutungan and Nalusuan, a possible stop at Caohagan (tide-dependent), and ends at Pandanon Island, known for its long white sandbar. BBQ lunch is cooked and served on board.

    • Full-day tour with BBQ lunch cooked on board
    • Several snorkeling stops and island visits
    • Hotel pick-up from Cebu City, Mandaue, or Mactan
    • Great for families and groups

    🚤 2) Speedboat Island Hopping — Faster and More Private

    speed boat

    If you prefer shorter travel time, smaller groups, and a smoother ride, the Speedboat Island Hopping Tour is for you. Visit Nalusuan Island for swimming and snorkeling, then continue to Hilutungan or Talima Marine Sanctuary before lunch and return. This option is more premium — ideal if you’re willing to pay extra for convenience and more time on the islands.

    • Smaller group, faster transfers
    • Set lunch on the island
    • Snorkeling gear, towel, and drinks included
    • Optional round-trip transfers from Cebu City hotels

    💰 Tour Options & Rates (2025–2026)

    🌅 Why Go Island Hopping in Cebu

    Few cities make island life this easy. In one morning you can go from hotel to reef snorkeling or sandbar photos. Whether you choose the regular boat for an all-day outing or the speedboat for a quicker, higher-end trip, Cebu’s island-hopping covers marine sanctuaries, beach views, and local seafood in a single day.
