You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used.

Know more about traveling from Dalaguete
The town center is easy to overlook but worth the stop. The Baroque Parish Church of San Guillermo de Aquitania, built in the early 1800s, has a coral stone facade with floral carvings and a mural-covered interior, plus watchtower ruins that once guarded against Moro raids. Nearby, colonial-era houses round out a short walk through the Poblacion, and the local market showcases why Dalaguete is called Cebu's vegetable basket.
Regular cars can comfortably reach Mantalongon, the highland barangay about 14 km (9 miles) inland from Dalaguete town, on a paved though winding mountain road. From there, the final short stretch up to the peak's trailhead is steep and rocky, so it's typically covered by habal-habal motorbike or 4x4 rather than a standard car. Your Daytrip driver will get you to Mantalongon smoothly, so you only need to arrange the brief final hop before the 15 to 30 minute hike to the summit.
Dalaguete sits about 84 km (52 miles) south of Cebu City along the coastal highway. A private transfer typically takes roughly 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic through Carcar and Argao, compared to a longer ride and possible transfers by public bus. Traveling by car also means you can add stops along the way rather than sticking to a fixed route.
A visit to OsmeƱa Peak alone, including the drive and hike, generally fills a half day. Pair it with a walk through the historic Poblacion and market, and you're looking at a full day trip. Since your itinerary is built around your private transfer, you can trim or extend either portion based on how much time you have.
Yes. The town has its own waterfront boulevard for a quiet stroll, and a short drive to Barangay Casay leads to a clean, low-key beach. Further south, Obong Spring feeds a secluded lagoon of pale blue-green water framed by tropical growth, with an old Spanish-era watchtower nearby. It's an easy add-on stop and a quiet contrast to the mountain scenery.
Dalaguete packs mountain, heritage, and coastal scenery into one lesser-visited town, without the crowds that trail Cebu's better-known attractions. OsmeƱa Peak alone rivals any viewpoint on the island as Cebu's highest point, while the historic church and market give the day trip a cultural layer most southern Cebu itineraries skip. A private transfer lets you string all three together in one day exactly the way you want.
