Cebu Airport to Maya Port: Private Transfer with Meet & Greet

Summary

Private transfer from Cebu Airport direct to Maya Port for Malapascua

You’ll step off your flight at Cebu Airport and spot your driver waiting with your name on a sign — no searching or stress. Settle into an air-conditioned private ride straight to Maya Port, passing green countryside and coastal towns along the way. Your driver helps with luggage right up to the Malapascua boat terminal. It’s smooth, simple travel that lets you breathe out.

What’s the experience like?

We rolled our bags off the carousel at Mactan-Cebu Airport, still half awake from the flight, and there was our driver — holding up my name in big marker letters. I didn’t expect it to feel so reassuring, but after the usual airport chaos, seeing someone actually waiting for us felt like a small relief. He grinned and waved us over, then whisked us outside where the air hit warm and thick (Cebu always smells faintly of diesel and seaweed if you’re paying attention). The van was spotless inside, cool air already humming. I think my shoulders dropped two inches right then.

The drive north toward Maya Port is long — three and a half hours if you’re lucky with traffic, maybe four if Cebu City decides to do its thing. But honestly? It never dragged. Our driver (I wish I remembered his name; it started with an R) chatted just enough but left us space when we drifted off or stared out at the rice fields sliding by. At one point he pointed out a roadside stand selling bibingka and asked if we’d tried it before. We hadn’t — he laughed and said next time we should stop. The road wound through little towns where kids chased dogs along the shoulder, then opened up to stretches of green that looked almost fake in the late morning light.

I kept thinking about how easy it all felt compared to wrangling buses or haggling for taxis (which I’ve done before here — not my favorite). No crowded vans or random stops; just us and our bags in the backseat, dozing as the scenery changed from city grit to coconut palms. When we finally pulled into Maya Port, our driver hopped out first and grabbed our bags before I could even protest. He walked us right up to the boat terminal — pointed out which banca would take us across to Malapascua — and made sure we were set before heading back. That little gesture stuck with me longer than I expected.
