The journey takes 3 1/2 to 4 hours, air-con 200 pesos, non air-con 190 pesos. Maya is the last stop on the line so you dont need to worry about missing it and the bus conductors are always helpful.

From Maya a local boat goes across morning and afternoon with a break at lunch time, 'till around 17:00. It takes about 1/2 hour and costs 80 pesos. First boat from Maya is at 06:30 Be aware that a ferry will not leave unless it has enough people, so aim to arrive earlier rather than later.

When arriving/departing from Malapascua's shores be prepared to either jump into the shallow waters or walk down a rickety plank. At low tide you can transfer to a smaller boat for 20 pesos.
