Cebu Port and Passenger Terminal
The Oceanjet Ferry bound for Bohol and Ormoc departs at Pier 1 on Legazpi Extension, Cebu City. Make sure to get there early because tickets sell out fast. Bring a valid ID or else you won’t be issued a ticket. Or you can skip the lines by booking your ticket in advance.
How to Get to Cebu Pier 1
From Mactan-Cebu International Airport, it’s a 30-minute drive to Pier 1 without traffic. Taking a taxi would be advisable if you’re in a rush or if you have a lot of luggage.
But if you’re not in a hurry, then you can try commuting. Ride a MyBus from the airport to SM City Cebu for 40 PHP. Trips start as early as 7:00 AM, with the bus coming every 20 minutes. At SM City Cebu, take another MyBus that will bring you directly to Pier 1 for only 25 PHP. The first trip of the day for this route is at 8:40 AM. Bus intervals are roughly an hour, but the wait may be longer during peak hours. Catch the last trip to the port at 2:40 PM.
If your accommodation is in the heart of Cebu City, take the 02B jeep from Elizabeth Mall or South Bus Terminal to get to Pier 1.
