After another TWO HOURS on the boat, we took a car from Tagbilaran to Alona Beach and finally arrive a little past 1:30am. Our taxi driver took us to a few different hotels trying to find vacancy without much luck. Then he looked us up and down and said, I know a place that probably has vacancy if you don't mind a place that's a little....different.
Before passing out, we had managed to book a snorkeling tour with a local named Ricky who pulled his boat up on the beach right next to where we were finishing our breakfast!
After waiting thirty minutes of no one else showing up, we decided to pay 1,000P (around $20 USD) for our very own ferry. The minute we'd paid for the ferry to go over, all of the locals who'd been hanging around waiting for the boat to leave piled onboard with us. Always great when you can drop a Jackson and feel like a baller.
This is what the ferry terminal to Malapascua Island looks like! We weren't in a big hurry, so we decided to hang out for a bit and see if any other people showed up who wanted to take a boat together.
