How to use a bus ferry that travels around the Mishima around Cebu Island in the Philippines by only 4000 yen Summary

Philippines · Cebu is known as a popular resort area in Japan. On the Visayas including Cebu island are attractive islands such as Negros Island with Bacolod Dumaguete, Bohol Island in the world's smallest monkey island, Boracay island famous for its beautiful beaches, and when visiting Cebu It is packed with places you want to stop by all means. Remote islands around such Cebu Island can be revolved at a superb discount by making use of buses and ferries. I tried Bacolod and actually tried the circulation route of going around Cebu and Bohol Island and returning to Bacolod again via Dumagueteeti.

◆ Bacolod → Cebu
"Bacolod (Bacolod)Go to Cebu fromCeressThe bus leaves from North Terminal and South Terminal. This time I will depart from a new and big North Terminal. From the North Terminal there is a bus leaving at 22 o'clock, which means "get to Cebu while sleeping".


The location of North Terminal along Rakson Street is here. Since many gypsies in Bacolod city pass through the North Terminal, the transportation is far above the South Terminal.


Arrived at North Terminal around 21 o'clock. Unfortunately, it was full. The flight departing at 22 o'clock is popular, and he said that he is issuing a reservation ticket around noon on that day. It seems unlikely that the seats will be sold out almost by the reservation over the weekend.


With that in mind, partitioning is done. I changed to a flight departing from 5:30 in the morning, and when I arrived at the bus stop around 4:30, there were few people.


I will head by such a bus.


There are two types of flights to Cebu on the way, via flights via Toledo (Toledo) and via Tabuelan (Tabuelan). It seems that it is shorter via Tabuelan in terms of time alone.


The clean air-conditioned baths are also comfortable for the seat.


Leave before dawn.


The bus will go north above the east coast of Negros Island in good condition.


The fare to the "San Carlos" where the ferry is served is 420 pesos (about 940 yen).


It is OK if you pay the fare including 160 pesos (about 360 yen) of ferry to the bus's assistant staff.


While stopping by some bus stops on the way ......


Arrived at San Carlos Port in about six hours. I was able to appreciate 3 movies in the car.


The entrance of San Carlos Port is like this.


We will pay a charge of 20 pesos (about 45 yen) at the port while lining up in the row in front of the entrance.


I got through the security gate to detect the metal and arrived at the waiting space.


Since there was not time I was told that it was going to be hurried and as I went forward, a row appeared again.


Fill in information such as name and accommodation as prompted by guard man.


And we arrived at the ferry. It is quite a big ferry.


The bus which I got on already parked in the ferry.


The parking lot in the ferry is crowded with cars as well as by bus.


The ferry is three stories long. The second floor space is a bed.


I use a bed of numbers written on the ferry ticket. People who already got into the ferry seemed to have been waiting for the bus I came on.


There are chairs as well as of course not to mention the bed.


So I left San Carlos and went to Cebu.


I mistook a ferry heading from Cebu to Negros Island on the way. The sea seen from the ferry was beautiful and I thought it was better to head by early morning flight rather than heading by late night flight.


Arrived in Toledo in Cebu in less than two hours.


As I get off the ferry, the bus is waiting.


Since there are many buses, I will take the same bus that I got on to avoid making a mistake.


Since the seller came in the car, I bought a banana chips. It costs 20 pesos (about 45 yen).


As I arrive at Cebu Island, the rain goes down and rains.


However, it was light rain when I reached Cebu City.


And at around 13:45 we arrived at the North Terminal in Cebu City. The fare cost was 580 pesos (about 1300 yen) and it was a super price. The time from Bacolod was 8 hours and 15 minutes at the very least.


The location of the North Bus Terminal in Cebu City is here. It is also close to Mactan Island.


When going from CebCity to Bacolod, if you follow the opposite route OK. Depart from the North Bus Terminal by bus and ferry to Bacolod.


The bus timetable for Bacolod North Terminal as of October 2016 looks like this.


Schedule for Bacolod · South Bus Terminal. Many buses for Cebu to Bacolod seem to depart in the morning.


You can also swim with whale sharks if there is 4000 yen for fare and snorkeling fee, when heading for "Oslob (Oslob)" by bus from Cebu South Bus Terminal.

In addition, the Shimara Church that causes miracles is as worth seeing as a castle-like building.

◆ Cebu → Bohol Island
If you visit Cebu, you should also go to Bohol Island on the next island. It is an island full of sights such as "Chocolate Hills" of the famous terrain and the world's smallest monkey "Tasha", one of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines "Arona Beach".

The ferry heading to Bohol Island leaves from the ferry terminal Pier 1 which is as close as it is from the North Bus Terminal.


The place is here.

There are some sightseeing destinations in Cebu such as "St.Ninhyo Church".


There are two types of ferries heading from Cebu to Bohol Island. It is a flight to the biggest city southwest of Bohol Island "Tagbilaran" and a flight to "Tubigon" located northwest of Bohol Island. Cheap things are to Tivigon. To Tagbilaran it is OK if you head by cheap bus from Tubigon.

There are two or more ferries heading to Bohol Island and the rates vary. SupaerCat or ...

Lite Ferries


OCEANJET and others.


OCEANJET's bound for Tagbilaran was also large.


However, the aim is a ferry company "Star Craft" in this building on the opposite side across the road from a corner where there are multiple ferry companies' ticket offices.


It is a shopping mall that is small enough not to notice that it is a ferry ticket department if not told.


Ticket counter is how the plywood board state. I do not notice that it is a ticket counter first if I can not say it.


Ferries to Tivigon are discounted with tourist classes of 210 pesos (about 470 yen) and business classes of 270 pesos (about 600 yen).


On the ferry terminal Pier 1, walk from the ticket counter and on the ferry terminal Pier 2 take a mini bus.


Arrived at Ferry Terminal Pier 2.


Go through the security gate ......


We will pay a terminal usage fee of 25 pesos (about 60 yen).


A relatively pretty ferry terminal at Pier 2's waiting center.


A Star Craft ferry is like this.

The seat is also high quality.


"Tourist" class


The seat was made of plastic.


I arrived in Tubigon in less than an hour.


When getting off the ferry, a lot of customers crawl. I was invited to "Would you like to go sightseeing with a tricycle?" I usually offer prices of around 1,000 pesos (about 2200 yen), but it is possible to price it. Tricycle not only arranges various sightseeing places by himself but also waits during sightseeing, so it seems to be said enough if you easily go around various places with a tight schedule.


I planned to head for Tagbilaran by bus, so I used a pedicab on a bicycle carrier. The fare to the bus stop is 10 pesos (about 20 yen). The pedicab does not compete with the tricycle and basically it is not a long distance use so there is no worry that the fare can be sprinkled. There are also thanks to the relaxed transportation means, you can hear recommended information such as the location of the bus stop, the climate of Bohol, where to go if you can meet Tasha. I brought it to the bus stop and gave me a tip to give thanks for providing the information.


By the way there is a McDonald 's in front of the bus stop so we can crush the time until the bus arrives.


To go from Tubigon to Tagbilaran, take the bus for "Carmen" at the relay point. If you are lucky you can go straight to Tagbilaran without having to change in Carmen.


This is the inside of the bus.


You can buy water from the window.


The way to Carmen is a pastoral landscape.


In addition, there are several places where you can meet the world's smallest monkey "Tasha" near Carmen. The theme park "Sagbayan Peak (Sagbayan Peak)" which can enjoy the karst topography of chocolate hills is quite good.

Arrived at the Tagbilaran bus stop in about 2 hours.


The place is here. To the center of Tagbilaran, it is OK if you head by a tricycle.


◆ Tagbilaran → Dumaguete
I will head from Bohol Island to Negros Island with Bacolod. From the Tagbilaran Ferry aims at the city "Dumaguete (Dumaguete)" in the southeast of Negros Island.
