Bohol to Camiguin by Ferry
There’s no direct route from Bohol's main tourist areas — Panglao or Tagbilaran — to Camiguin.
To make this journey, you first need to travel to Jagna Port, located on the southeastern coast of Bohol. This is the only port on the island with ferries bound for Camiguin.
Step 1: Tagbilaran City to Jagna Port
Jagna Port is about 65 km east of Tagbilaran City. The cheapest and easiest way to get there is by bus.
Head to Dao Bus Terminal in Tagbilaran City centre and hop on a bus bound for Jagna. Fares start at 150 PHP ($2.50) and the journey takes about 2 hours. Expect the bus to make a lot of stops to pick up and drop off passengers along the way. Buses are available from 3:20 to 17:40.
A faster and more convenient option would be to take a taxi from your hotel to Jagna Port. Depending on your location, taxi rates range from 3,000 PHP ($50) to 3,500 PHP ($57). Travel time with a taxi is around 1.5 hours
Step 2: Jagna Port to Camiguin
Super Shuttle Ferry operates one trip daily from Jagna Port to Camiguin. Ferry fares start from 975 PHP ($16) for the journey that takes around 4h 30m.
We recommend booking in advance through 12GoAsia to secure your seat. If you prefer to buy your ticket at the pier, arrive at least 30 minutes early. Tickets can sell out fast during weekends or in peak seasons.
