About this crossing

Before it reaches Mindanao, this ship puts in at Dumaguete, and that call stretches the trip to fifteen hours. Cokaliong's 20:00 from Cebu stops in Negros Oriental in the small hours, then crosses the Bohol Sea to Dapitan, on the north-west coast of Zamboanga del Norte, arriving at 11:00 the next day.

The stop also makes a two-leg version of the trip possible. There are 64 sailings a week from Dumaguete to Dapitan, most of them FastCat and Lite Ferries sailings, so a traveller can stop over in Dumaguete and pick a departure that suits. Dapitan is 8 km from Dipolog, the provincial capital, whose port is listed separately.
