Even though the Philippines is an archipelago, there are numerous bus and ferry routes that connect each city. Taking a flight each time you transfer to a different island can be expensive and more time-consuming. But if you’re lucky, your point of origin and your intended destination may be accessible via a direct ferry route.
For example, did you know that a direct ferry exists from Tagbilaran, Bohol to Larena, Siquijor? The travel time from Tagbilaran to Larena via ferry is only an hour and a half. Most tourists have Bohol and Siquijor on their Philippine bucket list so this ferry route is convenient for island hoppers. Check out our guide below to help you plan your backpacking trip around Bohol and Siquijor. Schedules and fare prices may be subject to change without prior notice.
