Located in the northern tip of Cebu, Malapascua Island is a tropical haven full of rich seascapes and white sands. It is one of the must-visit vacation spots in the Philippines.
There are tons of things to do in Malapascua Island, and here are some of them:
Swimming with the thresher sharks
Thresher sharks are one of the harmless types of sharks that divers encounter in Malapascua Island, specifically in Monad Shoal. They have enormous tails that are used to stun their prey. Aside from that, these sharks can also jump out of the water and into the air.
Visit the underwater caves
Just an hour away from Malapascua Island, you can find the famous dive site of Gato Island. It is where white-tip reef sharks and a 30-meter underwater cave can be found. To explore the entire cave, it can take up to 30 minutes, so it’s best to have a professional with you when you go diving.
Explore the beautiful marine life
Bugtong Bato and the Lighthouse Reef are two of the go-to places to explore various seascapes and marine life such as the mandarin fish.
A mandarin fish is known for their ever-colorful appearance that they use to mislead their predators into perceiving that they are toxic due to the color.
Restaurant & bar hopping
Malapascua has late night restaurants that offer various delicacies and creative cocktails. You can try The Cavern, Dory’s Bar & Sugba, or The Craic House. Each restaurant has their own diverse menu that can cater to any type of craving.
Spend a day at the beach
The Logon, Guimbitayan, and Langub Beach are some of the most known beaches in Malapascua. After a day swimming with sharks and a night of bar hopping, you can just relax and enjoy the ocean breeze with your loved ones. Sip on fresh coconut water or bring a milky shake with you while you lay on the sand.
Malapascua Island continues to stand as a picturesque gem in the northern region of Cebu as it offers an unforgettable escape into tropical paradise, leaving visitors enchanted and rejuvenated by its natural splendor.
