“In Life, It’s Not Where You Go, It’s Who You Travel With” – Charles Schulz


For our first travel this 2018, (#January2018) we went to Moalboal to have some fun together with @queenjventurer's teammates.

Moalboal is a small town found on the South-West side of Cebu Island where Negros Island can also be found on the western shoreline. It is a two hours drive from Cebu City and opens a way to some of the favorite diving spots not just in Cebu but also in the whole Philippines.

This is our first beachin' this year of 2018.

We both love to go to beach as this is our favorite past time. Not to mention, I am a good swimmer but she is not. 😂

We also had lots of snapshots during the day since the view is a total wow!

It's always best when we're together.

SAND-Bathing Moment

Being in a beach, with fine white sand, you will never be excused to experience covering and burying your body with it.

Unless if you're a claustrophobic person.

@queenjventurer enjoyed covering my whole body up to my neck with the sand.

It is a bit relaxing because the weight of the sand feels like a massage. When I stayed for a longer time, my arm got numb so I tried to get up but it was heavy. However, I was able to sit and relax my arms.

The Tour

For our itinerary during the day, we planned to go to Pescador Island and Sardines Run.

Price: P2, 500 per boat

Pescador Island in Moalboal

Pescador Island is known to its best diving spot. It is just a very small island where no one resides. It is a 15-20 minutes travel from Basdaku, Moalboal.

Lots of corals and fishes can be seen under the water in Pescador that can only be seen when snorkelling. It is best advised when you bring your snorkelling gears.

For us, we were not able to explore more in Pescador since the current is so strong that time. After 15 minutes, we went straight to the place for the Sardines Run!

Sardines Run

Lots and lots of fishes were found --- Thousands or probably, millions of sardines were there.

We never had a chance to dive into the bottom since we don't have any gears to be used. However, the view is so fantastic! There were many foreign citizens who visited the place and with complete gears so they were able to swim together with the sardines.

Although we didn't bring any gears, we we're still able to enjoy the tour. It was so tiring but all worth it.

Look at our satisfied red faces. hahaha!

And for all, the best part is watching the sunset with your loved ones. And this time, I am with my love, to watch the beautiful sunset for that day.

Someday, there will be someone who will watch every sunrise with you until the sunset of your life. ~ unknown

A new adventure that we will never forget.


We may not have explored the whole Moalboal, but will surely be back here to look for more of what it has to offer.

Moalboal is one of a kind places in Cebu and best marine life resources with lots of surprises and perfect sceneries.

Enjoy more of the nature and get started in your journey as an adventurer! Enjoy!
