Money Matters

There are ATMs on the entire island. Maximum withdrawal at one time is Php10,000.00 to Php20,000.00 per day. Foreign money (US dollars, Euros, Korean Won, Japanese Yen, etc.) can be exchanged at several locations around the island. It's worth checking around for the best exchange rate, as all places don't offer the same rate. Much better if you do the exchange in Manila airport before heading to the island.

Travel Tips for a Smooth Trip

Book domestic flights separately from your international flight for flexibility. Use hotel-arranged transfers for a stress-free arrival. Bring cash for small purchases, as some places may not accept credit cards. Bring power adapter (Philippines uses Type A, B, and C plugs, 220V). Pack light beachwear, sunscreen, and water-resistant bags for boat rides.
