About the Siquijor – Tagbilaran crossing
Two sailings a day from Siquijor to Tagbilaran, at 08.20 and 14.30. Each connects at Tagbilaran with a boat onward to Cebu.
Both departures are the first half of something longer
The 08.20 meets the 10.40 for Cebu; the 14.30 meets the 17.00. Few passengers stop at Bohol — the timetable is written for people crossing the whole way. If Tagbilaran is your destination, you have a two-hour wait either way before the connection you do not need departs.
A note on live cargo
The carrier reserves the right to refuse live plants and animals altogether, which on an inter-island route between farming communities is a real constraint rather than boilerplate.
Fares and rules
PHP 800 tourist, PHP 1,200 business. OceanJet requires check-in at least 30 minutes before departure; a confirmed seat may be forfeited otherwise.
Your destination
About Bohol
Most travellers reach Bohol by fast ferry from Cebu, and the island has two sea gateways. The direct choice is Tagbilaran City port (roughly 1.5-2 hours by fast craft, and the closest landing to Panglao and Alona Beach). The alternative is Tubigon port in the northwest: the crossing is shorter, but Tubigon sits about an hour by road from Tagbilaran. Bohol itself is the home of the Chocolate Hills, the tiny tarsier, and the diving reefs off Panglao.
