Before you go
General advice for travel in the Philippines, not facts about Malapascua.
- Bring some cash. ATMs can be few or empty in small towns and on islands, so ask your resort.
- Ask the resort whether it takes GCash or cards for anything you pay on site.
- Environmental, tour and terminal fees change. Check the current amounts with the resort or the local tourism office.
- Boat trips stop in rough seas. Leave a buffer day before flights and check PAGASA advisories.
- Ask your resort for the nearest clinic or hospital, and which mobile network works best there.
