Transport between Dauin and Malapascua

[Oldwiseguy]

In late November my wife and I will be diving for 2 weeks in the Philippines. First, Dauin, then Malapascua, and finally Leyte. I have estimated a day travel between Dauin and Malapascua. Is this doable with public transport, or should we use a private driver from Liloan to Maya (if the latter, perhaps we'll do a side stop to see Kawasan Falls). Can anyone recommend a driver, or is the expectation to pick up a taxi at the port (or make a reservation through our Dauin operator...Bongo Bongo).

Thanks,
