Public Bus
From Cebu City, head to the Cebu North Bus Terminal located at the corner of M.J. Cuenco Avenue and N. Bacalso Avenue. Board a bus headed to Lapu-Lapu City (look for signs that say 'Lapu-Lapu' or 'Mactan'). The bus ride takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. Once you arrive at the Lapu-Lapu City Bus Terminal, exit the terminal and look for a local tricycle or habal-habal (motorcycle taxi). Tell the driver you want to go to Caohagan Island; they will take you to the nearest port for island transfers.
Tricycle
If you are already in Lapu-Lapu City, find a tricycle station nearby (these are common around markets or busy streets). Take a tricycle to the nearest port that offers boat rides to Caohagan Island. The most popular port for this is the Marigondon Beach area. Upon reaching the port, buy a ticket for a boat to Caohagan Island, which usually departs every hour. The boat ride takes about 30 minutes.
Habal-habal (Motorcycle Taxi)
If you prefer a quicker option from Cebu City, you can hire a habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) directly from your location. Negotiate the fare to take you to the nearest port for Caohagan Island. This option is faster but be sure to wear a helmet and follow safe riding practices. Once at the port, purchase your ticket for the boat ride to Caohagan Island, which takes approximately 30 minutes.
