Bantayan Island is approximately 5 hours from the city so one must plan their trip ahead of time.
From the airport, take a bus to SM where the North Bus terminal is. It took us an hour to get there because of heavy traffic.
Then, take a bus to Hagnaya port, approximately 4 hours away. Next, board a ferry to Sta. Fe port which is 1 hour away.

You can rent a jeep or tricycle to tour the island. We forgot the price but it really depends on your deal with the driver.
Here is the contact number we got from a tricycle driving offering us land tours:
Bok: 0946-923-5525/0999-508-5482
For the island hopping, we booked directly at the tourism office. There are agents around the island but they offer it at a higher price. During our time of visit, only Virgin Island was open. Other islands were closed due to the pandemic.
You can also rent a motorcycle or bike. We chose to rent a motorcycle since it's more affordable & we have more control of our time & where to go. Here is the contact number if you wish to rent a motorcycle:
