Getting to
Bohol!
BY AIR
The easiest and fastest way coming to Bohol
from Manila and Cebu is by air direct to
Tagbilaran City. At present there are three
airline companies servicing these routes:
Asian-Spirit, Philippine Airlines and the
Laoag International Airlines. Daily trips
direct from Manila and Cebu are provided by
these airlines. Schedules vary, so please
check with the airline companies.
Coming from other countries and if one wants
to avoid the hassles in the Ninoy Aquino
Internation Airport in Manila, you can book
your flights from your country and chose Cebu
City as your entry point in the Philippines.
Then from the Mactan International Airport in
Cebu, you can then take a connecting flight
(Asian Spirit Airlines) direct to Tagbilaran
City. Or if your schedule does not allow you
to have a connecting flight upon your arrival
at MIA, then you may opt to sleep over in
Mactan or take the boat trips to Tagbilaran
City.
BY SEA
Travelling by sea is a less expensive
alternative in getting to Bohol. Different
shipping companies serve the sea routes direct
from Manila, Cebu, Cagayan, Dumaguete and
Dipolog. Most of the ships/boats dock at the
Tagbilaran City Pier while other ships/boats
dock at the town ports of Jagna, Ubay, Tubigon,
Jetafe & Buenavista. Aside from the super
ferries and the regular boats, fastcrafts are
also servicing the different routes. Daily
trips from Cebu and back are available either
by fastcraft or regular boat and trips from
Manila and other points of destinations have
different schedules during the week.
While in Bohol, you can also rent out some
smaller boats or bankas to take you to the
