How to Go to Seven Seas Waterpark

From Manila or Clark

You can fly from Metro Manila or Clark via Cebu Pacific Air or Philippine Airlines straight to Laguindingan Airport.

From Laguindingan Airport, Cagayan de Oro

Option A: From Laguindingan Airport, you may opt to take a cab or shuttle to Bulua Mini Market where you can take a tricycle straight to Seven Seas Waterpark Resort.

Option B: If you rather DIY it than taking the most convenient yet expensive way to get there,  you can take a tricycle that will bring you to the highway where you can take a bus, jeepney or van going bound for Misamis-Cagayan de Oro route. Tell the driver to drop you off somewhere near Seven Seas because they won’t be passing by Opol-Bulua Diversion Road. Safest would be getting dropped off Bulua Market where you can take tricycle straight to Seven Seas.

From Cagayan De Oro City Center


Option A: You can take a cab or grab straight to Seven Seas Waterpark and Resort en route to diversion road. It usually costs 160php good for four heads in this ride with traffic not counted.

From Gaisano, look for Regency Liner. Take a van to Barra. Alight at Opol crossing highway then take a cab (around 60php per head) or tricycle (usually 15php per head) to Seven Seas.

Option C: In front of Gaisano Mall, take a jeep or multicab bound for Opol. At the drop off point, transfer to another multicab en route to Iponan-Bulua-Patag.
