På samme måte, hvis du bare ønsker å se Masasa Beach så vel som ikke de andre øyene, kan du ignorere øyhoppeturen siden du raskt kan nå den ved å ta den offentlige båten til Tingloy.

Dykking
Prisene varierer veldig (avhenger av feriestedet som tilbyr det). Bunter for dykkerprogrammer inkluderer vanligvis overnattingssteder, utstyr, samt dykkeassistentavgift. Men nedenfor er de billigste vi fant:
– Nybegynnerkurs: Så lavt som P8000.
– Introduksjon til dykkerøkt (i et basseng eller basseng som forhold): så lavt som P3000.

Matkostnadene dine avhenger selvfølgelig av deg. Det er Carinderias i nærheten av Anilao-port som tilbyr et måltid fra P30-P60. Hvis du er en gruppe, kan du også tenke på å kjøpe komponenter fra markedet, samt bare forberede maten selv.
