Cebu island, the capital of which is Cebu City, has a central location in the Philippine archipelago, which makes it a major transport hub for both sea and air travel. The island itself is home to more than a dozen recognized dive destinations. The closest of these to the main international airport is Mactan island, which is where the airport is located.
Getting There
You can reach Cebu by air from just about every city in the Philippines to the Cebu-Mactan International Airport. The resorts along Mactan's west coast are generally within a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport.
Cebu is also a major hub for the Philippines’ extensive ferry network. You can island hop to or from Cebu and any of the other islands, notably the other popular islands of Bohol and Negros.
