island hopping at Pescador Islamd

#Philippines Pescador Island is an island located on the western coast of the island of Cebu in the Philippines and is part of the municipality of Moalboal. Unlike my other snorkelling trips, snorkelling near Psecador Island was really fantastic and fun. It was an eye-opening trip where we swam near the pool of sardines and fishes and followed the big turtle it was really fun and highly recommended!

Discovering the marine life under

One of the best reef diving locations in the Visayas is Moalboal, Philippines, and one of the most stunning dive sites is Pescador Island. The reefs on the tiny island gently slope downwards, with soft coral covering the first 5 to 10 meters offshore before abruptly dropping to 40 meters offshore, forming a hard reef wall. The reefs of Pescador Island are home to hundreds, if not thousands, of different fish species. It is for this reason that adventure trips to Pescador Island are popular among both locals and visitors. #naturalwonders#seafoodfeast#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

SHORT VACATION @ MOALBOAL TROPICS

SHORT VACATION @ MOALBOAL TROPICS#beachlife

One of the best hotel in Maolboa

The service was real good, they organized the driver to pick us up even after we arriving midnight. Warm welcome from the gate, we missed breakfast but they still prepared breakfast for us. Massage was the best we paid 700 pesos for an hour. Definitely visiting this place again 👌.#maolboa tropics

Island hopping in the beautiful Moalboal 🇵🇭

We spent half a day visiting Pescador island and Panagsama beach. We snorkelled, swam with the sardines and sea turtles. It’s a must take trip if you’re around Cebu or Moalboal.

We had the most exciting trip underwater. From snorkeling to scuba diving!! We had a moment watching the turtles and sardines! And of course, with the help of our patient tour guides from Jojo South Cebu Adventures. You may also contact them thru their Facebook page. They also have room accommodation for group and it’s super affordable! #moalboal #jojoscubadiving

Watching the sardine storm in the ink treasure, you can also encounter turtles! is a seaside town not far from Cebu. We take a cruise from Dumaguete directly to the nearby pier and need to take the bus to get off at the Mobo site, then take the tutu to the seaside hotel. Of course, there are two points of glamour here. One is the cliff. Soon after the sea, in addition to seeing more dense corals and marine life than snorkeling in Siquijor, you can see the cliffs a little further into the deep sea! The other one must be a sardine storm. See where the sardines storm went, and walk more than 200 meters from our hotel to a boat-intensive place. When you see people with deep dive and places where tourists gather, then you can see the location of the sardine storm. Seeing such unpredictable fish swimming and swimming is really shocked, sometimes gathering and separating, sometimes like a big wave, but like a big fish, it was there for more than half an hour to be satisfied.

As a tourist destination in Southeast Asia, the Philippines is an archipelago country that is more suitable for diving than Thailand. It has many diving spots and attracts tourists from all over the world. Cebu is located in the heart of the Visayas Islands and consists of 167 islands dotted with palm-fringed fishing villages. It is a very quiet and idyllic island. As the earliest city developed in the Philippines, Cebu's tourism resources are very rich. The most fascinating thing for me is Moalboa. Chinese tourists like to call it "Ink". The active tourist scene of "Ink" is centered on Panagsama Beach and wonderful diving activities. It is known as the "Diving Paradise" and is the top diving destination in the Philippines. If you want to watch the "Sardine Storm" and want to get involved in the "Sardine Storm", "Ink" is a trip that can't be staggered. Whether it's snorkeling or depth, this wonderful underwater wonder is only here. Once you have experienced the fun of diving here, you will never forget your life, or even fall in love with diving.

Moalboal Basdaku

A perfect example would be the Basdaku White Beach, nestled in Moalboal in southern Cebu. For only ₱10-20 (depending from where you enter), you can experience Basdaku Beach’s wide shoreline and its crystal clear waters and pure white sand. A little trivia, the term ‘Basdaku’ is derived from two Cebuano words “bas” and “daku” which means ‘sand’ and ‘big’, respectively. The name literally describes the kilometer-long coastline of the beach. When it comes to looking for a place to stay, Basdaku absolutely got it all for you. For travellers who prefer to sleep on the sand, witness the gracing sunrise or magnificent sunset and enjoy the chilling vibe — which is something every backpacker dreams of, there are definitely areas for camping.#awesomepic #staycation #beachlife #campingglamping

My Pescadores Seaview Suite Experience

Getting There - I was really afraid at first because I have no idea of the road's terrain going to Moalboal. Before deciding to proceed, luckily, we found a cellphone number at Facebook and the agent told us that the road is not that steep which I am afraid of. We used Google Maps as reference. From Lapu-Lapu, we traversed the 1st Bridge to Mandaue, then to Cebu south road. Upon reaching Carcar, at the round about, we turned right to Carcar-Barili road and just followed the Google Maps. In all my travels in Cebu, this road is the easiest to drive at. It took us more than 3 hours to reach Moalboal. Attractions - Of course, the beach is the main attraction which can be seen from the pool, as well as the Pescadores Island, which at the time of our visit is not yet available for visit due to the damage brought by the Super Typhoon Odette last December 2021. Accordingly, the island is still on its rehabilitation stage. Other attractions include the Moalboal Park which is beside the ocean and near the market. Hotels - There are various hotels and resorts beside the area which you can choose. We preferred PSS because they are open to accepting pets. We do have 3 small dogs with us--a cavoodle, a shihpoo and a combination of both. Food & Restaurants - There are restaurants, carinderias, and barbecue grills nearby which offers variety of food. There are also coffee and milk tea shops at the main road. Shopping - There is Gaisano Moalboal Mall at the main road and some Ukay-Ukay shop few meters away from the said mall. #tigeryear2022 #staycation #beachlife #pescadoresseaviewsuites #moalboal #cebu #philippines

Pescadores Suite in Moalboal

What we love in this place is that they have an excellent costumer service, they are very accomodating. The place is clean and their food as well is good. We did enjoy our stay at the hotel. Spacious room and super friendly staff! You can use their snorkeling gears, life jacket and the must try transparent kayak! They also surprised us with some petals and balloons in our bed/room. I loved the fruits they gave us too! I would highly recommend this place! #urbanexplorer #summervacation #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
