About this crossing

Boarding is at Lipata rather than at the Surigao city port: Lite Ferries' schedule lists this crossing from the Lipata Ferry Terminal to the Port of San Juan at Cabalian, on the east coast of Southern Leyte (Lipata). Both sailings are worked by one ship, Lite Ferry 25, which lands at Cabalian at 10:00 and 22:00 and heads back two hours later each time (Cabalian to Surigao), so the evening boat is followed by a midnight return. Lite does not sell these sailings through its online booking system. For the west coast of the province, FastCat and OceanJet sail from Surigao to Maasin.
