Why this transfer works well
Argao and Dalaguete are the closest stops on the southeast coast that still feel far from the city. You arrive in under three hours on most days.
If you are staying in Mantalongon near Osmeña Peak, tell us the address. The van takes the paved mountain road up from the coast, so you skip a habal-habal ride with luggage. The last steep stretch to the trailhead is usually walked or done by habal-habal.
Many travelers stay a night in Dalaguete before heading south to Oslob. We can quote both legs in one WhatsApp conversation.
Argao and Dalaguete are neighbouring towns on Cebu's southeast coast. Argao is known for its old stone church and local food, and Dalaguete for the highlands around Osmeña Peak. This page covers the private van from Mactan-Cebu International Airport to your accommodation in either town, including the hill area above Dalaguete.
