Cebu Port is the largest domestic port in the Philippines; situated on the east coast it borders the Mactan Channel, a narrow strait between Cebu and the Mactan Islands. Cebu Port belongs in Cebu City, the oldest city of the Philippines and the country’s first capital. Over the years it has transcended into a hub of activity, with many tourists flocking over to witness its historic monuments and stunning architecture. Being a purely domestic port, Cebu Port only serves to other islands belonging to the Philippines. Five companies are in operation from Cebu Port, all offering daily crossings to Bohol Island Port, Cagayan De Oro Port, Danao Port and Ilo-ilo Port. Each ferry route runs around one or two times per day, typically leaving in the early morning and lasting for around two hours. Cebu Port is popular among passengers for its recently renovated canteen area and free Wi-Fi for customers.
Iligan City Port is found on the northern coast of the island of Mindinao, the southernmost of the many islands which comprise the Philippines. Due to its tropical location, the area rarely experiences cold weather, making it a desirable holiday destination for tourists. However, Iligan still remains somewhat of a hidden gem in the Philippines with visitors tending to head towards more prominent regions such as Manila and Cebu. The lack of westernization from European tourists has maintained Iligan Port’s authentic feel, yet it still welcomes tourists from all countries. Transport to and from the ferry terminal is somewhat lacking; there is a general absence of public transport such as buses and trains, therefore it is advisable to book a taxi or try the local custom. Tartanillas (horse drawn carriages) and sikads (personalised mopeds) are readily available and can be seen all over the city, however, sikads are known to be sometimes dangerous and unreliable. Two companies are relied upon to supply ferry routes from Iligan City Port; Carlos A. Gothang Lines and Cokaliong Shipping Lines provide the crossing to Cebu as the most popular service. There are also crossings to Cagayan De Oro, Dumaguete and Legaspi, each running a few times per week. The times of the crossings vary from season to season, so it is worthwhile checking for live updates to guarantee a pleasant journey.
