You can see from the date above the article when we last updated the schedules and fares. Kitang mga Pinoy, nakahibalo na ta nga ang mga schedules og presyo sa atoang mga public transportation, dali lang mag usob usob. Mao nga ang amoang tambag sa mga konsumidor nga kontakon ninyo mismo ang shipping companies para sa tukmang schedules o presyo sa ticket. --- Rodelyn

Personally I did not buy boat tickets in advance. Some shipping companies offers online booking but most of the them, you'll have to get your ticket on the same day near the port area at their respective ticketing outlets. --- Rodelyn

I don't think so. Based on my experience, you will have to buy the ticket on your departure day. --Rodelyn

Hi Jhe, please check out the shipping company websites or call them directly for their recent schedules and fares. --Rodelyn .

Hi Rochanie, hindi namin alam. Paki tawag lang po sa shipping companies mismo para masagot nila yong mga tanong mo. -- Rodelyn

Hi Ramona, paki send lang og e-mail sa shipping company mismo para ma aksyonan nila kining ingon niani nga problema. I am sure nga daghan pa nga kababayan nato ang naka experience og ingon nianing problemaha.

Manghinaut ko nga ang mga shipping companies, maghimo unta og linya nga para lang sa mga grupo starting from 8 o 10 persons and above panahon sa mga peak season para ma less ang chaos. Separate nga linya para lang mag check sa mga online purchased tickets.

Subo nga huna-hunaon nga naa sab nga mga kababayan nato ang nag abusar sa sitwasyon panahon sa peak season, gihimo ni nilang negosyo. Mopalit sila og ticket unya ilahang i offer sa mga nag linya pero ang presyo, at least doble na sa presyo sa original ticket price. Daghan sab ang matintal nga mopalit gumikan kay nagdali sila o walay gana nga mo linya og unya dili pa sab segurado kong maka palit pa sila og ticket para sa giapas nila nga oras sa pag biyahi. Kong walay mopalit....walay mo baligya. -- Rodelyn

Thank you Adam for notifying us.

Walay diretso nga biyahi gikan sa Boracay paingon sa Bohol. Kinahanglan ka nga mag via Cebu. Gikan sa Cebu pwede kang molawig paingon sa Lungsod sa Tubigon o sa siyudad sa Tagbilaran. May mga barko usab nga mo biyahi gikan sa Cebu paingon sa Ubay o Talibon, Bohol. --- Rodelyn

Hi Ramona, you can take the regular ferry to Larena, Siquijor. Lite Shipping Corporation operates on the route from Tagbilaran to Larena, Siquijor or vice versa. You can also visit Siquijor from Tagbilaran, Bohol via Dumaguete. The alternative route is via Cebu to Dumaguete then from Dumaguete to Siquijor. You can check the boat schedule above. --Rodelyn

Hi Jackie, it will depend on you, where you'll be staying and if you don't want to spend more time traveling with vehicles. The traveling time with the boat to Tubigon is much more shorter than to Tagbilaran and it is also cheaper and from there more boats travel back and forth to Cebu. But if your destination is either to Tagbilaran or Panglao, you'll have to take a bus, Van for hire or rent a car to get to your destination. You can call a car rental company before your arrival and ask them to pick you up in Tubigon. If you make an appointment beforehand and you'll be arriving early in the morning in Tubigon, you can even spent your day with a day tour from Tubigon to some of the touristic spots in Bohol such as Chocolate hills in Sagbayan (Sagbayan Peak) and in Carmen (Chocolate hills complex, man made forest in Bilar, Loboc (where you can see the famous, but now heavily damaged Loboc church, Loboc Tarsier Conservation Area and the Loboc floating restaurant), Baclayon (The famous, but now damaged Baclayon Church and finally to Tagbilaran (Sandugo Blood compact in Bool district) or to Panglao island.

Traveling time from Tubigon to Tagbilaran via the coastline is about 45 minutes but if you'll take a passenger bus it will take longer since buses stops often.

Cebu to Tagbilaran is somewhat comfortable if your destination is in Tagbilaran itself or to Panglao island. Panglao island is opposite to Tagbilaran city, for example, you'll be in Alona beach for more or less 30 minutes. --Rodelyn

Hi Kimmy, I assume you will be staying in Tagbilaran or in Panglao island. Most of the hotel and resort operators offer guided tours that include visiting the famous Chocolate hills in Carmen. You can also take a passenger bus that will pass near the Chocolate hills complex, ask the driver to drop you at that place. First, you'll have to go to the Bus terminal in Dao, Tagbilaran and ask people around to help you to find the bus that passes the Chocolate Hills of Carmen. You can also rent a car, motor or scooter to visit the Chocolate hills. This way, you can visit different places you desire and stop anytime you want, which is also convenient.--Rodelyn

Yes Dale, there is paid parking space in Tubigon port. You can also park your vehicle outside the paid parking space but there is a risk. -- Rodelyn

I don't know what would be the fastest way to travel from Tacloban to Tagbilaran, but it might be the easiest way to travel first via Cebu and then take a boat from Cebu to Bohol, either via Tubigon or Tagbilaran. There are fast crafts traveling from Ormoc to Cebu.

You can also take a ship or a passenger outrigger boat (a big "bangka") either from Hilongos or Maasin, Leyte to Ubay Bohol. From Ubay, you can take the bus or the van for hire going to Tagbilaran.---Rodelyn

I think Ocean Jet is safe, like most shipping companies, unless there are technical and human errors, a ship loaded over its capacity or natural disaster. I couldn't say don't bring your jacket with you, that depends on your own taste or feeling, some people find air-conditioning uncomfortable while others find it quite comfortable.--Rodelyn

Sorry, we cannot give the information you need on this matter. My advise to you is to visit the shipping company website or contact them directly to get the information you need to avoid any troubles during your trip.--Rodelyn

I just added the fastcraft schedules on the route from Tubigon to Cebu and vice versa. --Rodelyn

Please read the schedules and the rates mentioned above. For more information you can visit the Shipping company websites.---Rodelyn

For more information about schedules and other destination, please visit the shipping company websites mentioned above and the regular ferry section.---Rodelyn

There is neither a direct flight nor a passenger ship from Bohol to Iloilo or vice versa. You could take a boat from Iloilo to Cebu, and then onward to Bohol, or make three hops, going from Iloilo to Negros, Cebu, and then Bohol. This last route is probably the fastest.--Lyn

The easiest way to go to Bohol from Panay is to fly to Cebu and then from Cebu, you can take a boat either to Tubigon or Tagbilaran.--Lyn

There is a fast-craft going from Cebu via Tagbilaran to Dumaguete. However, it may be cheaper to take a bus, and just cross to Negros from Southern Cebu.--Jeroen.

It can be done, but is not really fast. The boat from Cebu to Ilo-Ilo has to sail around the islands of Cebu and Negros, and thus takes a long time. The trip from Ilo-Ilo to Caticlan is more in the order of 5 hours. Easiest is to take a flight from Cebu to Kalibo (25 minutes), and then a bus to Caticlan. A better over land and sea alternative is to take two ferries, first to Negros, and then from Negros to Ilo-Ilo. But then, why not go to Bohol, from Cebu you can be there in a few hours only.--Jeroen.

Thanks for informing us--Lyn

Flying from Manila direct to Tagbilaran is probably the most convenient route. If fully booked, you can fly to Cebu, and then take a fast craft to Tagbilaran, but that will take at least 3 hours more. A boat from Manila to Tagbilaran takes 25 hours. Rooms near Alona Beach start at about 500 pesos per night. These are not directly at the beach, though.--Jeroen.

1. Which would you say is "better" than the other? I am going from Cebu to Tagbilaran so it would be helpful to know which craft on this route is better.

2. Oceanexpress is a little more costly, but through the photos in their website, it appears to me that only the oceanexpress vessel that goes Cebu-Tagbilaran has a deck. Is that precisely correct? I am particular with which vessel has a deck where passengers (tourist or businessclass) are allowed to stay. I get nautious inside the cabin.

3. Do you have contact numbers of their Manila offices? I know their websites are informative enough but I believe it still pays to speak with someone coz I have a lot of queries the site cannot answer. Thanks!

I have no opinion on which fast crafts is better. Some do have decks, some don't. I like to have an deck, since they give me the opportunity to look at the sea and the islands we pass, and take some nice pictures. These decks can be quite windy, as those fast ferries go fast, upto 60 km per hour. The catamaran type of ferries mostly do not have accessible decks. I unfortunately have no other contact information than they provide on their website.--Jeroen.

From Davao the easiest way to get to Bohol is probably to take a flight to Cebu, and take a taxi from their to the pier. If coming from Singapore, the SilkAir flight going to Davao will also stop in Cebu, and you may arrange to get out there. What is the ideal resort depends on your wishes. We stayed (with our 4 and 1 year old boys) at Flower Garden Resort, which is very good value for money, and includes cooking facilities, but a bit away from the beach and without aircon. Other nice locations are Sunapartelle (includes kitchen and aircon), Alona Palm Beach Resort (directly at beach, no kitchen), or Bohol Divers (directly at beach). Take your kids out to see the Tarsier (in Corella) and Dolphins, they will love it.--Jeroen.

You’ll have to take tricycle or taxi to Dao bus Terminal. From there you can take either bus going to Talibon via Carmen (it will pass by Loboc), or with a jeepney to Loboc. From Loboc you can take the bus Going to Carmen where the famous Chocolate hills complex is located. Just ask the driver or conductor to drop you there. From the road, you’ll have to walk for about 200 meters.

In Tagbilaran port itself, you can find quite alot of offers for a tour with this destinations. But they are more expensive than using regular buses.--Lyn

Not all their Cebu to Tagbilaran route has been cancelled. They are now having 3 instead of 6 trips per day. There are some regular boats as well.---Lyn

As far as I know, there is no direct flight or boat going to Davao from Tagbilaran or vice versa. Perphaps you can fly from Davao to Cebu, the fare is approximately Peso 2,600 plus some additional fees. From Cebu you take a boat to Tagbilaran or Tubigon, Bohol--Lyn

Sorry, but I don’t know when they will resume on Cebu to Tubigon or vice versa route. Perhaps they might permanently stop their service on this route.--Lyn

Thanks for informing me about this Ferry.--Lyn
