About this crossing

OceanJet sells its 13:00 as a connecting trip rather than a through sailing. The fast craft runs to Tagbilaran on Bohol, the booking shows a 20-minute stop there, and a second leg under its own voyage number reaches Cebu City at 17:20. The only other choice is Cokaliong's overnight ship, which comes in from Dapitan and leaves here on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 23:59, docking in Cebu at 06:00.

Travellers going no further than the southern end of Cebu island can save hours on the one-hour evening boat to Oslob.
