About
About Davao City
The Manila crossing is booked at 3,660 minutes — 61 hours, or two full nights and the better part of three days, across 374 nautical miles. Two sailings a week leave at 11:30 and 20:00, with arrivals from Luzon at 15:00 and 23:00.
General Santos is the other destination and a different order of journey: 540 minutes, leaving at 20:00 and arriving in the morning, one sailing a day. 2GO Travel operates both.
Davao is Mindanao's largest city and sits deep inside its own gulf, with Mount Apo — the highest point in the Philippines — behind it and Samal Island a few minutes offshore. The distance to Manila is the whole point: a route this long survives because it moves cargo and passengers who are not going to pay for a flight, not because anyone is in a hurry.
