Wasn't a fan of the tourguide
The hotel was good on this trip, besides the one bartender hitting up on my girl I was with. Also I left a decent tip at checkout but they forgot to check the mini bar. I had drank a couple beers and ended up having to pay that which was way under the tip amount and basically another tip as I didn't have change then when they called and j had to leave with the tour guide that took us to the ferry to leave the island. Then onto the tour itself. Wasn't bad persay. Lots of activities, not all that was listed when I booked tho as unavailable. Main problem I had is I didn't know where the heck I was going daily, and during it the guide refused to speak much English to me directly even tho he knew it fluently. So I had to sit in the tricycle not knowing where I was going during and hearing him talk to my then filipina girlfriend the entire time without knowing what was even being said, even when I kept having to interrupt and ask where we were going after he was done speaking where in Filipino. My ex knew English fluently too. Just annoying when you are a tourist and don't speak that language and they keep looking at you as they joke and speak something you don't understand, and act like you do. Furthermore being I didn't know where I was going I wasn't dressed accurately each morning. I could have just went back in and delayed and changed each day but would have been better to know well before hand the expected day activities. They might have said a little prior, but not enough for me to understand with the stress I was already going thru. Wasn't even able to go to kota beach, which wasn't directly their fault. However they made the problems worse with me and my then girlfriend which caused us to cut the trip short. Overall 3/5 stars. I wish I could rate higher but the trip was already terrible for me because of the situation I was in, and that tour guide and bartender (not the owner bartender as he was great) wasn't making my vacation any better.
Response from the operator: We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may have encountered during your experience with us. Your feedback is crucial, and we have already addressed the issues raised with both the hotel staff and our tour guides to ensure a more seamless and enjoyable experience for our future guests. We appreciate your valuable input, and it motivates us to continually enhance the quality of the experiences we provide. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we hope to have the opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.

Dream vacation on bantayan
The Tour was wonderful! The manager and his wife are super friendly and all the staff too. The drivers were always on time and from the pick up until the drop off at the end everything was fine. The apartement was clean and everthing was as described. We were able to plan the tour individually and the tour guide was very handsome and kind. We will be coming back next year.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, we really enjoyed to have you as our guests and we hope to see you another time on Bantayan Island!

It was ok
The island is interesting. Lots or recognisable places and foods. Lots of choices for food snd drinks and safe to walk around. Lack of communication on what we were doing nothing explained to us. We did not have a itenary for the days do unaware of where we suppose to be. Island hopping nice although felt like on display most of time due to how busy it was and People just staring at us.

Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 4D/3N: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cebu.
How much does Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 4D/3N cost?
+
Prices start at $300 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 | 4D/3N take?
+
Plan for about 96 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 | 4D/3N worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 6 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 | 4D/3N?
+
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 | 4D/3N suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 4D/3N?
+
Around 2 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bantayan Island Getaway Package | 4D/3N 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 | 4D/3N?
+
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 | 4D/3N include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 550 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 | 4D/3N 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 | 4D/3N?
+
