About this crossing
Two daily departures northbound, and neither goes to Cebu directly — both run to Tagbilaran and connect there for the onward leg.
The published pairing
Leave Siquijor at 08.20 or 14.30, arrive Tagbilaran, and take the 10.40 or 17.00 for Cebu. The morning chain puts you in Cebu around midday; the afternoon one arrives in the evening. There is no third option, so a missed morning boat costs you six hours.
Read the ticket, not the itinerary
Each leg is a separate point-to-point contract. If you check in for a leg and then do not board it, there is no refund and no revalidation — the condition is stated plainly in OceanJet's ticket policy. Refunds on unused tickets lapse six months from issue.
Going to Negros instead?
Siquijor–Dumaguete runs six times a day for PHP 350, against PHP 800 for the Tagbilaran leg alone.
