About this crossing

For travellers bound for Siargao, the useful thing about Cokaliong's night ship is its hour of arrival. It docks at Surigao City, on the north-eastern tip of Mindanao, before dawn, which leaves the whole day for the onward crossing to Dapa on Siargao, with four departures a day (Surigao to Siargao).

OceanJet's daytime alternative is sold as one trip with a 30-minute stop at Maasin on Leyte, where FastCat also sails for Surigao, which suits anyone combining Leyte and Mindanao.
