&ldquo;Pescador Island is surreal &ndash; truly a paradise. The water is so blue and clear that it makes you want to stay forever. The underwear world with beauuuutiful corals creates an out-of-this-world feeling.&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="https://en.tripadvisor.com.hk/Attraction_Review-g663539-d7222456-Reviews-Pescador_Island-Moalboal_Cebu_Island_Visayas.html" target="_blank">Love Istanbul</a>

If you&rsquo;ve already exhausted all the <a href="https://thetripguru.com/tour/enjoy-a-day-of-snorkeling-and-sun-in-cebu" target="_blank">island hopping</a> options around Cebu and Mactan but want to see more of the area&rsquo;s underwater treasures, then this day trip to Pescador Island is just the thing. Located in the snorkelling paradise of Moalboal on Cebu&rsquo;s west coast, Pescador Island is home to colorful fish and wonderful corals with a vibrant intensity that you won&rsquo;t quite find near the airport and city center. Divers first flocked to these shores thanks to perfect conditions, sea turtles, and sardine shoals.

If you&rsquo;re deciding between island hopping in Mactan versus the farther Moalboal, the former would definitely be more convenient. However, Moalboal holds more of the Philippines&rsquo; true beauty in terms of natural scenery and biodiversity. It&rsquo;s further out, but as they say &ndash; good things come to those who wait.

Fun Fact: &ldquo;Pescador&rdquo; means &ldquo;fisherman&rdquo; in Spanish

We&rsquo;ll be picking you up from your hotel in Mactan / Cebu early to avoid the traffic and catch marine life when they&rsquo;re most active. At 9am we&rsquo;ll arrive at the pier at Moalboal where we&rsquo;ll take the boat out to Pescador Island. There you&rsquo;ll ditch the human world for an aqua one teeming with inhabitants the likes of hawkbill turtles, nudibranch (Spanish Dancers), parrotfish, the famous sardine run&hellip; even a whale shark if you&rsquo;re lucky! In the summer months, however, make sure to wear a rashguard or a wetsuit during jellyfish season.

&ldquo;The water was clear, calm and absolutely clean. The whole place is pure virgin island. On our way, we saw dolphins swimming around, what a surprise!&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="https://en.tripadvisor.com.hk/Attraction_Review-g663539-d7222456-Reviews-or10-Pescador_Island-Moalboal_Cebu_Island_Visayas.html" target="_blank">Louise, Trip Advisor</a>
