Things to do in Daanbantayan

Book a dive trip to Malapascua Island's famous Monad Shoal, where thresher sharks can be observed year-round as they ascend from the deep for cleaning station visits early in the morning, a bucket-list diving experience unlike any other in the world. Explore Malapascua's white-sand Bounty Beach and the surrounding dive sites renowned for seahorses, Mandarin fish, hammerhead sharks, and diverse macro marine life. Visit the heritage lighthouse on Daanbantayan and soak in the panoramic views of the surrounding sea and islands from the tip of Cebu. Fresh seafood at local carinderias (eateries) and small restaurants around Maya Port is outstanding, with grilled fish, kinilaw, and fresh shellfish served at very affordable prices. Island-hop to nearby Carnaza Island for stunning limestone cliffs, pristine beaches, and far fewer tourists than Malapascua. The drive from Cebu City through the northern scenic road to Daanbantayan passes historic churches, rolling hills, and dramatic coastal landscapes worth stopping to photograph.
