Mactan-Cebu Airport Transfers in Cebu and Bohol
Part of the Cebu and Bohol travel guide — see every topic in All Cebu and Bohol Guides.
Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB) is on Mactan Island in Lapu-Lapu City, across two bridges from Cebu City. Terminal 1 is domestic, and Terminal 2, with its wooden arched roof, is international. Resorts on Mactan are 10–25 minutes away; central Cebu City takes 40–90 minutes.
MyBus
MyBus is the cheapest comfortable ride. Buses leave from outside both terminals for SM City Cebu for about ₱50, roughly every 20–30 minutes from morning to night, and take 60–75 minutes. From SM City Cebu, take a Grab or taxi to your hotel. Space for big bags is limited at busy times.
Grab and taxis
Grab picks up at the signed bays. Typical fares are about ₱150–350 to the Mactan resorts and ₱300–600 to IT Park or Ayala Center Cebu. White metered taxis are cheaper than yellow airport taxis; ask the driver to use the meter. The two old bridges jam at rush hour, and the CCLEX toll bridge is faster for the south of Cebu City.
Onward trips
For Bohol, take a taxi to Pier 1 in Cebu City and a fast ferry to Tagbilaran, about 2 hours. For Moalboal or Oslob, buses leave from the South Bus Terminal and take about 3–4 hours; a private car is faster. Some airlines also fly from Cebu to Bohol-Panglao, Siargao and Palawan.
