Ormoc to Liloan Ferry

The Ormoc to Liloan ferry is the return leg of Lite Ferries' overnight roll-on/roll-off service, carrying passengers and vehicles from Ormoc City on the west coast of Leyte across the Camotes Sea to the port of Liloan in Cebu province. Note that this is Liloan in Cebu, not the Southern Leyte town of the same name that serves Surigao.

Departures from Ormoc are generally scheduled for the evening, typically leaving around 10:00 PM and reaching Liloan close to 5:00 AM — an overnight sailing of about six hours. Travelling this direction is handy for people leaving Leyte for Cebu: arriving into Liloan before dawn puts you within easy reach of northern and central Cebu by road, avoiding the busier Cebu City piers for those who don't need them.

Why travellers take this direction

• Leyte residents and traders bringing goods, vans and private vehicles into Cebu on a single RORO crossing.
• Early risers who want to disembark in Cebu at daybreak and continue their journey by land.
• Passengers connecting from Tacloban, Baybay and other Leyte towns that funnel through Ormoc's terminal.

Because the vessel is a RORO, cars, motorcycles, trucks and cargo roll on and off directly, with vehicle freight charged separately from the passenger ticket. Standard and tourist-class passenger fares sit in roughly the same band as the outbound leg, around the mid-hundreds to just over a thousand pesos. Ferry timetables in the region shift with weather, demand and fuel prices, so always reconfirm the sailing day and departure time with Lite Ferries before booking your trip out of Ormoc.
