How to Get from Cebu to Moalboal

If you're flying into Mactan-Cebu Airport and want to head straight to Moalboal, booking a private transfer is the most convenient option. It saves time, and you won’t have to deal with Cebu City traffic. We recommend booking your ride in advance with BookAway. They offer reliable airport pick-ups with friendly drivers and excellent customer service. Rates start from for a -seater private transfer. Divide the cost, and that’s just about per person. One thing to note: BookAway only picks up from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, not Cebu City centre. But that actually makes it a great option if you plan to skip the city and go straight to the coast.

From Cebu City

If you're already in Cebu City or planning to explore a bit before heading south, you can book a private transfer through Klook instead. This way, you can expect a nice car with a good driver. Rates start from [price 70 USD] for a 3-seater sedan from Cebu City to Moalboal.

Check Private Transfers with Klook

You can also hail a regular taxi from the airport or within Cebu. But be prepared to haggle because taxi drivers rarely use the metre for long-distance trips. They will also try to give a higher rate when negotiating with foreigners. For reference, a reasonable rate for a private transfer from Cebu to Moalboal is around [price 3,000 PHP].

Can I book a Grab from Cebu to Moalboal?

Grab works well for short rides within Cebu City, including trips to and from the airport. But it’s not licensed to operate in Moalboal.

You can try booking a long-distance trip to Moalboal through the app. Sometimes, you might see a fare that looks like a bargain — around [price 2,500 PHP]. But here’s the thing: most drivers will ignore the request.

Why? Because Moalboal is outside their coverage area, and there’s little chance they’ll get a return trip. If someone does agree to take you, they’ll likely ask for double the fare to make it worth their while.

To avoid the hassle, it’s better to pre-book your ride with BookAway if you're coming from the airport or with Klook if you’re already in the city.
