- Malapascua Island on the north end of Cebu attracts tourists from around the world and Filipinos as well. A bus, taxi, or van ride from Cebu City will get you to Maya Port where you can catch a "ferry" banca outrigger boat over to Malapascua Island. It is a favorite with scuba divers and snorkelers and has many resorts and dive shops.
For those who suffer motion sickness in a boat or car the trick is to have ginger herbal medication and drink alot of ginger herbal tea starting the night before the trip..and to have a very light or no solid food just prior to the trip only fluids..Thanks too Rod for another top class video mate..Thumbs up from Australia.
Thanks for that advice Albert. I have seen ferries handing out sickness bags on a couple of rough trips.
thats after the typhoon the typhoon occurred December 24 and stop at 25 Christmas day
Yes, thanks Bieber.
Thanks for sharing, Rod! Recently got over to Bantayan, and although lots of fun it was so very sunny! Maybe the water wouldn't be so wavy during the coming dry season? These unique to the Philippines bangka boats are also referred to as pump boats here:) One thing I often notice on steep steps here, that most of the time there are no railings! I'm pretty agile I think, but I can be a klutz at times, so I'm not sure if all the jumping and climbing in the sun is my style.:0 Once on land it looked looked like fun though.:)
LOL. No railings and it would be easy enough to take a tumble and that could hurt and ruin the day....or week Regina. Have fun and stay safe.
*Screw Ytube and their new policy of mandatory ads/commercials that have plagued us all*
*Good news: there soon will be an alternative platform we can all move to.*
*Let's all hope Ytube goes bankrupt. Amen*
I don't care for ads either eliaso but at present it is the only way any of us make a little money for all of the time and effort.
You're so lucky to have chance to visit all this beautiful islands. Thank you Rod for sharing this great video. 👍👍
Thanks Beth. I feel very lucky to be able to travel a bit here. So much to see and do.
Thats not a ferry its a boat
Amazing Philippines for sure. Your living a good life and thanks for sharing it with us.
✌🏽✌🏽🇺🇸🇵🇷🇵🇭
Thanks state of mind. Keep that good attitude.
8:00 I would swim to the ferry
you're too old sandy
Just bring some flippers with ya!
LOL. It is probably shallow enough that you could walk out Sandy.
Perhaps a vhire would be the faster option to Maya Port.
A Vhire might be a bit faster but they can get very cramped for space it they get a full load of people.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 agreed. I have in the past bought an extra seat for my backpack so I can travel comfortably.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks James. Nice to get out of the city.
What camera are you using on this video? It takes a great video
Thanks Keith. I use the new Gopro 8 Black and happy with it.
Amazing Philippines that’s great . I have a GoPro 7 black. Bought it new . When it come out. Just haven’t used it yet. That little camera takes great video. Thank you for letting me know
Rod,
I was telling a guy I know about my interest and toying with the idea of relocation to the Philippines. He said that there were documentaries about the Philippines mainly made by expats on TH-cam. I told that I've been watching them but there's one guy that I'm subscribed to and regularly follow. He replied, "No, you have to watch this guy, he's real good." As he's saying this, he's writing on a scrap of paper. He says, "Here, check this guy out." I look at the paper and says "Amazing Philippines" His name is Pat and I'm guessing he's right around your age. He also lives in Gilbert. By the way neat video
LOL. So cool Daniel. You just made my day. I am humbled that I have that much of an affect on future expats.
Hi Rod,
Thanks for recording, editing and uploading!
Sub'd and liked!
In one of your vids you mentioned a service ? (Asian Pacific?) which will carry over cars, truck s, etc...to other island s?
Can't find it now.
Can you share that screen shot again?
Lastly, if I want to contact you via eMail for biz inquiries? what would that be?
Thanks spicer. My email is noisemasters@gmail.com.
Most of the RORO (Roll on Roll Off) ferries will provide that service. There are several ferry companies and each has its own routes to certain islands. You can check online for the options or some newspapers list shipping companies and schedules also.
Nice to see Malapascua again Rod, it brought back some memories. Our crossing was really rough and took a long time as the boat went really slow. I hope you enjoyed your break from the city, thanks as always for sharing your experiences there.
Thanks Brian. This was my 3rd trip to Malapascua. I don't mind a little rough if it is safe to travel and the boat is not overloaded.
Excellent detail and colour Rod, what a lovely place, north of where our house is, but as i have said, i am not a touristy type, so i have never seen this place.
Lina said there are many foreigners residing there, in paradise. Someone else said it, but i will say it too Rod, you are living the good life,
and why not. Cheers amigo.
Thanks Bob. This is my 3rd trip to Malapascua. I have an Aussie friend who has a hotel and dive shop there. I had hoped to do some snorkeling but got busy with entertaining my "guest" gf. Many of the tourists are younger divers but there are also several "senior" divers. I asked a few people what a house would rent for and didn't get many good answers. 10,000/month was a common figure when they saw this foreigner and their eyes lit up....so I think there may be an island-wide conspiracy to raise rent prices.
We've traveled on a few of these, it can be a humorous experience watching sm older out of shape guy getting off one of these. My wife tries so hard not to laugh at me when I do. 🤣🤣
LOL. It is a unique experience and I haven't fallen off yet John.
That looked to be a great adventure. If we ever get to Cebu, I am gonna have to get you to be our tour guide! You are getting out and about some now and looks like your finding new places to visit along the way.
I enjoy riding the boats. I enjoy the waves and cutting through or across them. I have not gotten sick on one yet.
Thanks Steve. Yes, definitely get in touch if you get to town. I need to get out of the city occasionally for a break and this is a nice island to do it at.
great video but to much bouncing in the waves I'll do my snorkelling in a land pool with fake fish and less bounce.
LOL. I understand BOOGNOW.
Wow malapascua so nice place
Thanks. This is my 3rd trip to Malapascua and a very nice island.
So much nice I been there one time I'm not far of that island
Hey Rod, I'll be in Cebu in March. Would love to meet you,if you have time
My email is noisemasters@gmail.com. Stay in touch.
Great job as always Rod...i enjoyed this video
Thanks Jim.
Cool video.
Looks like a very calm and relaxing island to visit.
Thanks Todd. This is my 3rd visit to Malapascua and I enjoy it.
Nice video Rod....Thanks for sharing be safe-have a great day
Thanks Mario. It was good to get out of the city for a bit.
I wanna swim with the thresher and the sardines
Thanks Mark. This is a scuba and snorkeling paradise but I didn't do any of that on this trip unfortunately. The threshers are an awesome site as are the millions of sardines. I think they also have hammerheads in the area.
Have a nice trip
Thanks Manuel. It was nice to get out of the city.
Thanks
Thanks Sami.
