About this crossing

A fast craft every morning and a conventional ship on Friday nights are the two ways from Cebu to Palompon, on Leyte's west coast. OceanJet leaves at 10:00 daily, while Cokaliong's Friday sailing at 19:00 takes six hours and comes in at 01:00.

Most travellers will find the morning boat simpler, since a landing at one in the morning needs a bed or a lift arranged in advance. Palompon lies 24 km north-west of Ormoc, and the nine daily crossings to Ormoc are the fallback when neither Palompon sailing fits.
