One of the many perks of being in Bohol is the convenience of getting around. There are number of ways to travel to and around the province.

Bohol is highly accessible by sea and by air. There are domestic airlines flying in from Manila daily and fast ferries and passenger ships plying between coastal cities.

By Sea

Ships may be slower than aircrafts but they’re actually cheaper too. From Manila, you can take the Superferry. Travel time is a little more than 24 hours but the shipping line offers all the possible comfort and leisure for a relaxing journey.

From Cebu, there are numerous options to choose from. You may opt to go via Tagbilaran or via Tubigon. The latter is cheaper and travel time is cut short by 50%. This is more convenient if your preferred destination is to the northern towns. Note: Tubigon is 1-hour away from Tagbilaran.
