✈️ Flight to Cebu | 1 hour | (Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines)
🚕 Taxi to South Bus Terminal | 30 – 45 minutes
🚌 Bus to Moalboal | 2 – 3 hours
Notes:
- This is the only reasonable way to get from Coron to Moalboal. All other routes are unnecessarily long or expensive.
- You can ask your accommodation in Coron to book transport to the airport for you, or you can book yourself online here.
- South Bus Terminal doesn’t have an official schedule. However, there are buses leaving for Moalboal roughly every 30 minutes.
➡️ Moalboal to Camiguin
By plane
🚌 Bus to Cebu City | 2 – 3 hours
🚕 Taxi to Cebu Airport | 30 – 45 minutes
✈️ Flight to Camiguin | 1 hour | (Cebu Pacific)
Notes:
- This is by far the best way to get to Camiguin from Moalboal. Most other routes (except the one below) are either unreliable, highly time-sensitive, or unnecessarily long and not exactly cheaper.
via Bohol
🚌 Bus to Cebu City | 2 – 3 hours
🚕 Taxi to Pier 1 | 15 minutes
🛥️ Ferry to Tagbilaran, Bohol | 2 hours | (book online)
🛺 Tricycle to Dao Terminal | 15 minutes
🚌 Bus or van to Jagna | 1.5 hours
🛥️ Ferry to Mambajao, Camiguin | 4 hours | (book online)
Notes:
- This route is cheaper, but I don’t recommend it to inexperienced travelers. It takes a lot more time, and there are a lot of different rides you need to take.
- There’s another route from Moalboal to Bohol via Oslob. However, I don’t recommend this route since the current timetables for Oslob – Bohol and Bohol – Camiguin mean you won’t make it to the Camiguin ferry without spending a night in Bohol.
- There’s only one ferry from Jagna, Bohol to Mambajao, Camiguin. It’s run by Super Shuttle and currently leaves every day at 2:30 pm. You can check here for updated schedules and to book online.
➡️ Camiguin to Siargao
Via Cebu
✈️ Flight to Cebu City | 1 hour | (Cebu Pacific)
✈️ Flight to Sayak Airport, Siargao | 1 hour | (Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines)
🚐 Van to General Luna | 45 minutes | (book online)
Notes:
- This is the fastest and easiest route, but it can also be quite expensive because of the double flights.
- General Luna, the main tourist town of Siargao, is 45 minutes away from the airport. There are shared vans waiting to bring you there, or you can book ahead here.
Via Surigao
🛺 Tricycle to Benoni Port | 30 minutes
🛥️ Ferry to Balingoan Port | 1 hour
🚌 Bus or van to Butuan City | 2.5 hours
🚌 Bus or van to Surigao City | 3 hours
🛺 Tricycle to Surigao Port | 15 minutes
🛥️ Ferry to Dapa Port, Siargao | 1.5 hours | (book online)
🛺 Tricycle or van to General Luna | 25 minutes
Notes:
- This route is significantly longer and more difficult for inexperienced travelers. However, it is also cheaper than taking 2 flights to get to Siargao.
- If you’re going this route, I don’t recommend booking anything ahead since your arrival time will depend greatly on if there are any delays on the road. Plus, there are a lot of buses and ferries doing these routes, so you shouldn’t have too many problems just showing up and buying a ticket.
