Inter-island ferry travel

When traveling by ferry from Cebu to Bohol with a motorbike, note that OceanJet ferries may not accommodate motorcycles. Look for larger ferries that transport cars. Barkota.com is a resource for ferry information, but motorcycles are generally not allowed on passenger ferries.

To find ferry schedules in the Philippines, particularly for routes like Panglao to Oslob and Oslob to Siquijor, travelers can use the website apekoptravel.com or download the '2go' mobile application. These resources allow for pre-planning of inter-island travel.

Ferry route Cebu-Tagbilaran (Panglao): Online booking often requires non-Russian cards. Booking at the port (Pier 1, Cebu) 60 minutes before departure is a reliable alternative. Payment on-site is accepted in cash.

Ferries and boats to Boracay operate 24/7. Therefore, arriving at the port even late in the afternoon, such as around 5 PM, does not pose an issue for reaching the island. There is a constant flow of boats available to transport passengers.

During windy or inclement weather conditions, the ferry and boat services between Boracay and Caticlan may be suspended. Travelers should inquire about alternative transportation options or be prepared for potential delays or cancellations.

The ferry from Caticlan to Boracay costs 500 PHP per person for a one-way ticket directly at the registration counter (including all fees). The return trip is 200 PHP per person. Ferries operate frequently, approximately every 15 minutes, and coordinate with flight arrivals, so there isn't a strict schedule. Avoid 'hustlers' at the airport offering transfers for 1050 PHP. A tricycle to the port costs 75 PHP per person, or a minivan 150 PHP per person, then purchase the ferry ticket directly.

Travel to Talicud Island from Davao involves two types of boats: local 'bankas' that wait until full capacity (unpredictable schedule) and 'tourist' boats that operate on a fixed schedule. Renting a bike in Davao and bringing it on the boat is a viable logistics strategy.
