The Moalboal Sardines Run is available all year, so the best time depends on your weather preference and travel style.

Dry Season (November to April) – Expect sunny skies, calmer seas, and ideal conditions for snorkeling and diving. This is peak tourist season, so it’s busier and hotels book out fast.

Wet Season (May to October) – Occasional rain showers and tropical weather patterns roll in, but sardines stay close to shore year-round. There are fewer tourists and hotel rates are generally lower during these months.

In short: choose the dry season for bright, sunny conditions and the wet season for fewer crowds and better travel deals — the sardines are waiting either way.

Our operating hours are from 7 AM to 5 PM. The experience itself takes about 1 hour — you may select any start time between 7 AM and 4 PM (last call is 4 PM), though we highly recommend an early morning slot for the best conditions.

Most folks don’t really go for fins, so we left them out. But hey, if you’re all about those fins, no worries! You can choose to add them as an extra service when you’re booking the tour. To begin the booking process, click the “Check Availability” button located in the center of your screen. 🌟👍

Yes — we offer round-trip hotel transfers.

Pick-ups from Badian or Moalboal are more affordable, while transfers from areas like Oslob, Cebu City, Lapu-Lapu (Mactan), and Mandaue come at a higher cost due to the longer distance — but you’ll enjoy a private tourist vehicle with insurance for a safe and comfortable journey.

Yes — we can arrange Pescador Island hopping as part of a custom tour. But if you’re mainly interested in the sardines run, you won’t need to pay extra for the boat to Pescador Island since the sardines are found just a few meters off the shore of Panagsama Beach.

We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred date, top local guides, and guaranteed transfers — especially during peak season when slots can sell out quickly.

Last-minute bookings may still be accommodated if there’s availability, but early reservations give you better chances, priority scheduling, and access to any discounted transfer slots.
