Travel Routes – Coron, Siquijor, Siargao

Step #1 Coron to Cebu City

🚐 Van to Coron airport | 30 minutes | (book online)

✈️ Flight to Cebu | 1 hour | (Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines)

Notes:

• You can ask your accommodation in Coron to book transport to the airport for you, or you can book yourself online here.

Step #2 Cebu City to Siquijor

Fastest Route

🚕 Taxi to Pier 1 | 30 – 45 minutes

🛥️ Ferry to Siquijor via Bohol | 4.5 hours | (book online)

Notes:

• This route is the fastest and most straightforward way to get to Siquijor from Cebu. However, it’s also the most expensive option. You can check the schedule and buy tickets online here, or you can also buy at the port.
• This route has a short stopover in Tagbilaran, Bohol. It’s about 15-30 minutes.

Direct Ferry

🚕 Taxi to Pier 1 | 30 – 45 minutes

🛥️ Direct ferry to Larena Pier | 10 hours | (book online)

Notes:

• This is the only direct ferry from Cebu City to Siquijor. It leaves 3x a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. You can find updated schedules and book online here.
• Larena Port is farther away from San Juan (Siquijor’s tourist zone) than Siquijor Port (which the other travel options dock on). Nonetheless, there are plenty of tricycles or motorcycle taxis outside Larena Pier that will be happy to take you there.

Direct Bus

🚕 Taxi to South Bus Terminal | 30 – 45 minutes

🚌 Direct bus from South Bus Terminal, Cebu to Siquijor | 7 – 8 hours

Notes:

• The bus drives to Liloan Port, gets on the boat, and continues its journey around Siquijor. You can stay inside the bus while it’s on the boat, or you can get out.
• You still have to pay the boat fare. In total, you’ll spend about php650 (roughly 400 for the bus, and 250 for the boat)
• When the boat docks, the bus will loop around Siquijor Island. So if you’re staying in San Juan (Siquijor’s main tourist zone), just tell the conductor to drop you there.
• This is a fairly new route by Ceres Bus Liner, and it currently leaves every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8 pm, and 1 am on Sundays. You can check their Facebook Page for any updates.

Alternative Route

🚕 Taxi to South Bus Terminal | 30 – 45 minutes

🚌 Direct bus to Dumaguete City | 5 – 6 hours

🛥️ Ferry to Siquijor | 40 minutes | (book online)

Notes:

• This is probably the worst route to Siquijor. However, because the other routes are either slightly expensive or not available every day, many travelers still do this route.
• Buses to Dumaguete City leave South Bus Terminal in Cebu every hour starting at 6 am. Like the direct bus to Siquijor, you still have to pay your boat fare.
• From Dumaguete Pier, there are about 6-7 different ferries to take you to Siquijor. The Fast Crafts are owned by OceanJet, and they leave twice a day. Click here to see schedules and book online. The slow boats can only be booked at the pier.
