About this crossing

With Negros lying between Cebu and Panay, the direct ship to Iloilo City has a long way round, and Cokaliong times it at twelve hours overnight, from 19:00 to 07:00. Iloilo faces Guimaras across a narrow strait on Panay's south-east coast.

A daytime alternative can be put together in three pieces. FastCat crosses the Tañon Strait from Toledo to San Carlos, the road runs over Negros to Bacolod, and fast craft cover Bacolod to Iloilo in an hour. It means more changes of vehicle and vessel, but no night on board.
