Welcome to Maasin City, Southern Leyte and the nearby provinces and islands within Region 8, which is in East Central Philippines! You are in the ideal tropical island to visit, tour, take a vacation, invest and/or retire. Tourist arrivals in Southern Leyte grow recently by 461%!
When you take a vacation to enjoy our famous historical and ecological attractions including the Limasawa, Panaon, San Pablo and San Pedro islands, whale sharks, coral reefs and mangroves, and to invest or retire in our coastal, hilly and mountainous city and the rest of Southern Leyte, you can reach us when you board a flight from the Manila Domestic Airport to Tacloban City, the capital of northern Leyte. From Tacloban Airport, you can ride one of the passenger vehicles to take you to the taxi-van or bus stations in Tacloban City. The vans and buses depart from early morning up to evening time bound for Maasin City, the capital of Southern Leyte. The van or bus ride along the straight and zigzag concrete highway takes about 3.5 to 4.5 hours from Tacloban City to Maasin City.
An alternative way to visit us is to take a flight to Cebu-Mactan International Airport. If your budget permits, you can charter a small aircraft from Mactan to Maasin City Airport. From Cebu City, you can board either one of the ships which sails few times per week direct to Maasin City and daily to Southern Leyte via Bato, Hilongos, Baybay and Ormoc City which are located in northwestern side of Leyte island. From these towns and a city, you can ride any of the buses, jeepneys, or taxis (vans) which travels several times daily down to Maasin City.
