About
About Camotes Ferry Services
Camotes Ferry Services works the Camotes Islands from the Leyte side, which is what distinguishes it: most operators serving this group come from Cebu. CFS is based at Ormoc City and sails both from Ormoc and from Danao on Cebu, giving the islands two mainland gateways instead of one.
The two crossings
Camotes to Ormoc takes about three hours, calling via Tudela and Pilar, with departures at 07.00 and 12.30 and fares from ₱200. The return is quoted at around two hours from ₱150. These are roll-on/roll-off ships: passengers, motorbikes, vehicles and market goods travel together, which on an island route is the whole point.
The ship
The Ormoc–Camotes run is worked by the RORO vessel MV Junmar 8, the company's newest on this route.
Booking
There is no company website. Schedules and booking enquiries go through the operator's Facebook page, which functions as its public timetable — a common arrangement among smaller Philippine lines. Tickets are otherwise bought at the pier. Confirm the day's sailings before travelling: departures on these routes shift with weather and demand.
Getting there
Ormoc is on Leyte's west coast with connections to Cebu City by fast craft, so the Camotes can be reached from either island. Other operators serve the group from Danao and Consuelo — worth comparing if the CFS timing does not suit.
