Travel Advisories

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date. Check if you need a visa to enter the Philippines and apply in advance if required.

Confirm with your doctor if you need any vaccinations for your trip to the Philippines. Consider bringing necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. It’s also wise to have travel insurance that covers health emergencies.

Familiarize yourself with the weather conditions during your travel dates. Bantayan Island enjoys a tropical climate, so pack lightweight, breathable clothing, sun protection, and rain gear, especially if traveling during the rainy season.

The local currency is the Philippine Peso (PHP). Make sure to have some cash on hand, as not all places accept credit cards. ATMs are available, but it’s best to check with your bank about international withdrawal fees.

While English is widely spoken, learning a few basic phrases in Filipino can be helpful and appreciated by locals. Consider getting a local SIM card for your phone for easier communication and internet access.

Be respectful of local customs and traditions. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites and always ask for permission before taking photos of people.

FLIGHTS

Flights Bantayan Island

Flights from Cebu (CEB) to Bantayan (BTY) are scheduled to depart at 8:00 AM on Mondays and Thursdays.

Flights from Bantayan (BTY) to Cebu (CEB) are scheduled to depart at 9:25 AM on Mondays and Thursdays.

LEASCOR ATR72 flights (CEB–BTY–CEB) operate on Mondays and Thursdays, or Fridays and Sundays, with fares starting from PHP 1,500 to PHP 3,900.

If there’s no flight available on your preferred date, no worries — we’ve got you covered! 🚐⛴️ We offer hassle-free land and sea transfers, and can arrange a private transfer for you anytime, tailored to your schedule.

Important Note

Please be informed that flights between Cebu and Bantayan are non-refundable and non-rebookable. This policy is set by the charter company, and as a reseller, we are required to follow it.

Kindly also note that flight schedules may change without prior notice, as these are solely managed by the charter operator. Flights may also be cancelled without prior warning — even if you have already received your flight voucher. Cancellations can occur for safety reasons, such as unfavorable weather conditions (the runway on Bantayan Island is relatively short), as well as due to operational issues on the part of the charter company. In case the flight is cancelled, a refund can be provided within up to 2 months. The process may take longer because the charter company is not accustomed to using online banking or online payment systems.

You are encouraged to review the Air Passenger’s Bill of Rights and the carrier’s Terms and Conditions here: Terms and Conditions.

Please arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before departure. Considering the required waiting time before departure, the short flight, and—if you have luggage—the waiting time after arrival, the total travel time may still take around 3 hours. For a more dependable alternative, you may wish to book a private transfer: Private Transfer Cebu to Bantayan.

SYKE Travel & Tours acts solely as a reseller of these flights and therefore assumes no responsibility for the safety, operation, or performance of the air service; all operational and safety-related responsibilities rest exclusively with the charter company and the operator.

We (SYKE Travel & Tours) offer these flights only because we are the only DOT-accredited travel agency in Santa Fe (Bantayan Island) and are responsible for the online marketing of our beautiful Bantayan Island. For a more convenient, flexible, and reliable way to travel to and from Bantayan Island, we recommend booking our private transfer service here: Private Transfer Cebu to Bantayan.

If you have a connecting flight to or from Cebu, we strongly recommend using our reliable private transfer service: Private Transfer Cebu to Bantayan.

Ecological Note

Small charter flights are fast, but they also have a disproportionately large climate impact per passenger when compared with road transfers. An ATR-72 on a short (~30-minute) Cebu–Bantayan hop produces roughly 15–55 kg CO₂ per passenger depending on how full the aircraft is; a shared private transfer plus ferry is typically lower (≈10–35 kg CO₂ per passenger). In other words, where sustainability matters, choosing a shared private transfer (or combining passengers in one vehicle) usually results in a smaller environmental footprint than taking a lightly-filled charter flight.

Description

The Ruins in Santa Fe, Bantayan Island is a well-known and very popular spot to visit. Its stunning location on a cliff with breathtaking sea views makes it a perfect place for photos, whether during the day, at sunrise, or at sunset. According to local stories, the house was once owned by a German national who had a lease agreement for the land, granting him the right to build on it. After his passing, no one inherited the lease or had the right to live in the house, so the property reverted to its original owner. Left unattended, the house was exposed to the elements. In 2013, Typhoon Yolanda struck the area hard, causing significant damage, and over time the house slowly transformed into the ruins that we see today.
