This island is part of the Municipality of Daanbantayan. Malapascua is very blessed in marine diversity. There are many things to do in the island besides from swimming under the glimmering sun. You can also try diving or snorkeling, or go island hopping.

I have researched and realize that one of the best resort you can find there is “Thresher Cove Diving Resort”. The resort also provides air-conditioned rooms with bathrooms, comfortable beds, satellite t.v., free WiFi and a refrigerator. You can enjoy the swimming pool, volleyball, badminton, billiard and spa treatment and designed in native. Located at Sitio Kalubian, Bantayan Island, 6052 Cebu Bantayan Island.

Northern side of Cebu may have their thresher sharks, but the South has their whale shark! You can watch the butandings or whale sharks at Brgy. Tan-awan, Oslob, 6023 Cebu.

Sad to say they do not have a resort right smack where you can watch the whale sharks, so you have to check in to the nearby resorts. They also have a policy “First Come, First Serve” or book a private tour package. They're open from 6AM-12PM the whole year except during Good Friday.

They also offer diving, snorkeling, island hopping and whale watching. There are guidelines and rules you must follow in order to make sure your safety.
