    Great hosts and service

    The excursion from Cebu took and while. Our driver from Cebu was excellent. The ferry trip was not much fun and all transportation on the island was by a tricycle. Though Janell was great, a tricycle is not goos in bad weather. We thought we were getting a air conditioner car like it listed in the description. Other than that everything was great. Hotel was cute and nice. Food was excellent as was all the staff. The weather was rough but you can't control that, only make the best of it. I would definitely recommend this excursion as long as you are okay with a tricycle as your mode of transportation around the island. Santa Fe was very nice without a lot of traffic. The beaches were also not crowded.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We're very happy to hear that you had a great experience. Regarding the transportation, we truly appreciate your understanding. Unfortunately, it's a bit challenging to detail the different modes of transportation for Cebu and Bantayan Island separately in the inclusions. However, we do our best to ensure everything runs smoothly for your journey. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to welcoming you again soon!

    Amazing Cebu and Bantayan holidays arranged by experienced SYKE Travels

    Jan 2024 was the second time my group used SYKE Travels for our land tour of Cebu and Batayan Island. SYKE Travel arranged car transport during our week of Medical Mission in Cebu, followed by 2-days amazing sightseeing tour around Cebu City during the hectic Sinulog Festival. Jilo, the assigned driver/ guide, was fun, friendly, happy and informative. SYKE also arranged our Bantayan Island package and we had an awesome stay at the popular SMAKs Hotel where staff spoiled us with the best local food, tricycle tours and swimming at local beaches away from crowds! The hotel's Special Ginger Lemon Tea, Swiss Adobo and schitzels are all-time favorites! Bantayan is a must- do trip and we Highly Recommend SYKE for their very reasonable rates, reliability and professional services!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the nice review. We had a wonderful time with you and would like to thank you for your commitment to the community in Cebu. Also many thanks for the nice gifts and sweets :)! We hope to see you again soon!

    Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cebu.

    How much does Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N cost?

    +

    Prices start at $260 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cebu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cebu is not rushed.

    Is Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cebu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cebu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cebu and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cebu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cebu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cebu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale Watching in Sumilon Island with Ocean View Resort Tour, Whale Shark & Tumalog Falls & Sumilon Sandbar & Pescador Island with Sardines, From Cebu: Oslob Whale Shark Swimming & Moalboal Sardine Run Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cebu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cebu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; Use of snorkeling equipment; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 330 listed pickup locations in and around Cebu. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Filipino and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N?

    +

    Is Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 3D/2N if the weather is bad?

    +
