Six nights a week Lite Ferry Seven leaves Dipolog at 02:00 for Oslob, near the southern tip of Cebu island, and is in by 08:00; on Mondays the same ship starts from Dapitan instead. On Sundays a second boat follows, Lite Ferry Twelve at 13:00, which calls at Dumaguete and reaches Oslob at 21:00. Neither sailing can be booked through Lite's online system, so check times and fares with the company before travelling. Boats back from Oslob leave at 18:00 and 22:00.
