How to get there?

Visitors from other Country and State were coming from the North road.

• Can travel to Cebu by plane or boat and head to North Bus Terminal.
• They can choose to ride a bus, van, rental car, or hire a grab taxi that will transport them to Maravilla.
• If they choose this route, there is a Meme bus that goes to Maravilla while the Ceres Bus or other public transportation needs to stop at the open market to catch a motorbike. For v- hire if you have more passengers, you might be able to ask the driver to drop you off to Maravilla directly, but you have to pay more than the regular fee.
• If you are renting a private car and taking the North road route, be careful the spot in Logo where you need to turn to Tabuelan or else you wouldn’t notice it and will reach Bogo. Lol, You have to turn left from there and continue to go straight until you are in Tabuelan. When you reach the crossing, you have to turn right until you reach Maravilla.

Visitors are coming from the city using Trans Central road.

• Visitors from the city who likes to visit the area or this road will make sense for them they can take Trans Central road to connect to Balamban. From Balamban you have to ask for the way going to Asturias, Tuburan, Tabuelan. I recommend getting a driver who knows the road to be safe in driving the area and take precautions.

Visitors were coming from Negros who dock in Tabuelan.

• If you have your vehicle, you can go to Maravilla from the pier. Drive straight from the dock until you pass a public market or the bus terminal. Continue to go straight until you reach a crossing. From there you have to turn left going to Maravilla continue driving until you enter the town.
• If you are taking public transportation, I’m very sure motorbike drivers would be happy to transport you to Maravilla. If not they can drop you off at the Public Market and you can hire another one.

Visitors are coming from the South.

• Can be tricky if you have to commute. But trusts me, my sister and I traveled it ourselves during high school days, and we manage to get back home. So I’m sure you will handle the same.
• You can ride a bus going to Tuburan, and from there you can ride a Bus going to Tabuelan. Ask the driver to let you go down in Tabuelan and from there ride a motorbike going to Maravilla.
• If there is no bus when you arrive in Tuburan, hire a motorbike that will transport you to Tabuelan. For sure the driver will allow to carry you to Maravilla.

Visitors are coming from Bogo, Bantayan, Malapascua, and San Remigio.

Is it possible to visit Tabuelan from here? My answer is yes. Maravilla Tabuelan is the boundary to San Remegio, and one of their mountains is the boundary between Tabuelan and Bogo. You wouldn’t have a problem visiting Maravilla as it is very near to these towns mentioned above. From the islands follow the sign to Bogo and instead of going towards the city or Sogod turn to the right side where it takes you to San Remegio keep going straight it connects to Maravilla.

• Van rental costs me about P 5, 000- P 7, 000 pesos.
• Car rental costs me around P 3, 000- P 4, 000
• If you have a family or relatives, who are kind enough to go together. It would be best if you fueled it two times, and I spent around P 3, 000 for fuel then gave my cousin P 1, 000. But take note this price we did a lot of driving around Maravilla to Tabuelan.
• Ceres aircon and non-aircon- P 113
• Meme bus- P 75
• V-hire- P 120
• Motorbike fee- P 40

Things to remember:

• If you need medicine, make sure you bring them if you need anything most people drive to Tuburan or Bogo to buy something if it’s not in Tabuelan.
• The internet is only in the proper town of Tabuelan, and the telephone signal can be hard to make sure to bring Sun Cellular, Smart and or Talk n Text. Globe networks work in the proper of Tabuelan. If not, you can always catch up free internet in their Public market.
• Leave nothing but footprints.
• Please don’t litter and leave your plastic bottles anywhere.
• Please bring trash bags to carry your plastic trash back home if it’s possible. They don’t have proper garbage disposal yet. If you enjoy and care about our environment and want to enjoy the natural resources in this area, I beg to do so.
• Have fun and please help take care of the area, so our future generation still has something to enjoy.
