Jagna to Balingoan Ferry

The Jagna to Balingoan ferry connects the island of Bohol with the northern coast of Mindanao, giving travellers a direct sea route between the Central Visayas and Misamis Oriental. Sailings depart from the Port of Jagna, a working RoRo terminal on Bohol's southeastern shore and one of the island's main gateways toward Mindanao. The crossing heads south across the Bohol Sea (Mindanao Sea) and lands at the Port of Balingoan, the mainland town that also serves as the launch point for Camiguin Island.

The service is provided by Lite Ferries (Lite Shipping Corporation) on a roll-on/roll-off vessel, so it carries private cars, motorcycles and freight trucks in addition to foot passengers. It runs on a fixed weekly pattern rather than daily — the Jagna departure is typically a morning sailing (around 8:00 AM) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, arriving in Balingoan in roughly five hours, around early afternoon. This makes it convenient for a same-day onward journey by land.

Fares are split by class: an open economy deck, a tourist section and an air-conditioned cabin, with passenger tickets running from about ₱350 to ₱550, and discounts of up to 20% for seniors, persons with disabilities and children. On arrival, Balingoan sits on the national highway between Cagayan de Oro and Butuan, so frequent buses and vans link the port to both cities, while the same terminal offers the short hop across to Benoni on Camiguin. For anyone moving a vehicle off Bohol toward mainland Mindanao, this morning RoRo is one of the most direct options available.
