Filmed December 2003. This is 5 minutes 42 seconds of video of Malapascua Island just off the top off mainland Cebu. Some people claim that Malapascua will be the new Boracay and I can definitely see possibilities. At the moment it is mostly divers who go there and facilities would be too primitive for many foreigners. It would be very difficult for a disabled person to get to the island as you have to travel by dinghy then by Bangka boat. I asked how do I get from the dinghy on to the Bangka and the man said: "jump". The electricity at the time was only turned on from 6.00 pm to midnight except for special occasions. Now electricity is 24/7 This video shows two accommodation sites; White Sand Bungalows and Monteluna. It also shows a local village, some beach views, a boat being repaired and some people preparing to go snorkeling. File size 29.9mb |
