How to go to Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines

Bantayan island is known for it's fascinating white sand beaches, food and activities. You experience great activities in this small island. But how do we get there?

Here are the instructions you need if this is your first time to travel alone or with friends to this paradise island.




First, head to North Bus Terminal.

There are buses and vans that can take you to Hagnaya Port. There are also buses that goes directly to Sta. Fe port in Bantayan island which I think is even better and less hassle for you. Check the fares below to prepare your budget.

140 pesos – Non air-con bus to Hagnaya Port

*Same fares for the return trip to Cebu City


These buses normally leave about every 30 minutes. Just get on the bus and no need to buy a ticket ahead of time.

Ceres runs several buses a day that drive onto the ferry (RORO – Roll On Roll Off) and come all the way to Bantayan Island. The end stop is in Bantayan Municipality, but you can get off at the Santa Fe Port and take a bicycle taxi to your resort.


Have a wonderful getaway! :)
