Logistics

How to get to CEBU, PHILIPPINES

Cebu has an international airport with regular direct flights

from Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila, and Tokyo.

Either arrange with the hotel your transport options from the

airport prior to your arrival in Cebu, OR you can find the

official yellow airport taxis on your exit from baggage claim.

The yellow taxis are the ‘official taxis’ and cost a little more

than the others. To travel by taxi to Ford’s Inn/Montebello,

the cost should be no more than 250Php, and for Marco Po-

lo, no more than 400Php. The airport is approximately

(depending on traffic) 30-45 minutes from Ford’s Inn/

Montebello.

on Saturday morning before 7:45am for an 8:00 am start,

probably 30 minutes.

a. White coloured public taxis are readily available to

bring you to and from CIS. Just remember to assert

yourself and ask for the meter (flag down rate for white

coloured public taxis are Php 40.00, then meter adds

Php 3.50 per kilometer. The total fare would range from

Php 100 - 150 from Fords Inn/Montebello)

b. If you are the adventurous type, try a jeepney (ride the

ones with the label that says Pit-os or look for the 62C

label for only Php 12.00 and get a taste of the local

transport network.
