About the Loon – Argao crossing
The Loon to Argao route is the return leg of Lite Ferries' western-Bohol to southern-Cebu roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) line. Operated by Lite Ferries (Lite Shipping Corporation), it connects Catagbacan Port in Loon, Bohol with Taloot Port in Argao, Cebu, giving Bohol travellers a direct sea link into the southern half of Cebu island without passing through the congested Cebu City harbour.
Crossing time and frequency
The sailing takes about two hours across the Cebu Strait. Lite Ferries usually schedules multiple daily departures from Loon, frequently spread across the early morning, midday, afternoon and evening, giving flexible options for both day-trippers and drivers timing an onward road journey in Cebu.
What you can bring
As a genuine RoRo service, the Loon to Argao ferry carries vehicles as well as passengers:
- Cars, vans and SUVs
- Motorcycles
- Trucks and freight
- Walk-on passengers
Passenger tickets typically cost around ₱230 to ₱260, with vehicle fees charged separately by length. Reduced fares are available for children, seniors and persons with disabilities.
Practical value
Loon lies only about 30 kilometres from Tagbilaran City, so this route is convenient for travellers leaving Panglao, Tagbilaran or the Chocolate Hills area who want to reach Argao, Dalaguete, Oslob or other southern Cebu destinations. Arriving at Taloot Port in Argao places drivers on the coastal highway south of Cebu City, shortening the trip to Cebu's southern beach and whale-watching towns compared with docking in the capital.
