Options available for travel to CEBU from Manila

by SirHalberd Online Now Mar 24, 2007 at 9:46 PM

What is the best way to get to Cebu from Manila? How long will it take to get to Cebu from Manila? Can you do a day trip there and return to Manila in the evening? Thank you for your help.

    The best way is to fly which only takes 55 mins. From Manila, the first flight to Cebu is 5 am, and the latest flight from Cebu back to Manila is 7:30 pm so it is entirely possible to spend the better part of the day in Cebu and be in Manila by bedtime.

    if u do that as suggested, its great, its like you're a business traveller having a meeting in cebu for that day and return back to manila for dinner not to mention the waiting time u will waste in both airports .My suggestion is to stay at least one or two nights in cebu.

    Flying in to Cebu in the morning as Stamporama suggested (0530) and flying home to Manila in the evening is doable. I think he was speaking of PAL flights? If you browse the Cebu Pacific website you'll see that you can get an even later flight out of Cebu(2240).

    Thanks for the info. How about ferry runs? Any available? Probably a good idea to spend a night or two while I am there and take a more scenic route. Thanks

    I did the Super Ferry once. It's 20+ hrs. at sea, a good way to decompress after the hectic sked on the island. Super Ferry sails to Manila almost daily. I have more details in my Cebu transportation tip.

    well, it seems you have plenty of time, so why not do the cruise thing via superferry to cebu from manila, thats whooping 24 hours journey, and then fly when you come back? u can book online at www.superferry.com.ph. Its not a a cruise ship, its a passenger semi luxury ship, u can choose to be in luxury or on budget.
