Local Tips
Most transportation is by habal-habal (motorcycle taxi); bring cash as ATMs are scarce. English is understood by some, but basic Filipino or Bisaya phrases are useful.
Cultural Etiquette

Safety Warnings
Petty theft is rare, but always keep an eye on valuables in busier areas. Use caution near the river during rainy season due to rising water levels. Some roads can be muddy or rough.
Hidden Gems
Seek out the smaller river inlets for a quiet picnic, visit the local coconut farms, and look for family-run carinderias serving home-cooked Filipino meals.
