Panglao to Cebu City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fastest connection between Panglao and <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/ort\/cebu-city-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"16\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cebu City<\/a> is by ferry. From Tagbilaran Port on Bohol, the Ocean Jet Ferry takes you in about <strong>2 hours<\/strong> directly to Pier 1 in Cebu City. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tickets-buchen\"><strong>Booking Tickets<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can book your ticket either at the port, at travel agencies in Panglao or conveniently online via <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/panglao-cebu-tickets-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12go.asia<\/a><\/strong>* . Especially around holidays such as New Year or on weekends it is best to reserve in advance, as seats can be limited. Don\u2019t worry if the ticket is only sent by email 24 hours before departure \u2013 everything runs smoothly via 12go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"transfer-von-panglao-zum-tagbilaran-port\"><strong>Transfer from Panglao to Tagbilaran Port<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Taxi<\/strong>: A taxi takes you to the port in about <strong>30 minutes<\/strong>.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Price: 800 PHP on the spot, 600 PHP via Grab (if a driver is available).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tip: Best book your taxi in advance through your accommodation\u2019s reception, as Grab drivers are not always available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ablauf-am-hafen\"><strong>What Happens at the Port<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Confirm your ticket<\/strong>: Go to the Ocean Jet office at the roundabout in Tagbilaran to have your ticket confirmed. Short-notice changes are possible here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check in and drop off your luggage<\/strong>: After confirmation you can go to the pier. Tickets usually include only 10\u201320 kg of luggage, but excess baggage costs just 50 PHP per suitcase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Terminal fee<\/strong>: Before departure you still have to pay the terminal fee of 50 PHP.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ankunft-in-cebu-city\"><strong>Arrival in Cebu City<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pier 1 in Cebu is often busy. Best leave the port area and wait near a 7-Eleven for your taxi. With Grab, the ride into the city center costs about <strong>155 PHP<\/strong>, while local taxi drivers often charge higher prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fahrzeiten\"><strong>Ferry Times<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ferry runs hourly from <strong>6:00 am to 6:00 pm<\/strong>, and the weather usually doesn\u2019t matter much because the sea in this area is very sheltered. Still, weather-related cancellations can happen from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6af724b60854c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6af724b60854c\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ocean-Jet-Ferry-Cebu-City-Pier-1.jpg\" alt=\"OceanJet ferry at Pier 1 in Cebu City\" class=\"wp-image-11368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ocean-Jet-Ferry-Cebu-City-Pier-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ocean-Jet-Ferry-Cebu-City-Pier-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ocean-Jet-Ferry-Cebu-City-Pier-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ocean-Jet-Ferry-Cebu-City-Pier-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ocean-Jet-Ferry-Cebu-City-Pier-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ocean-Jet-Ferry-Cebu-City-Pier-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ocean-Jet-Ferry-Cebu-City-Pier-1-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/cebu101.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Ocean-Jet-Ferry-Cebu-City-Pier-1-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-panglao-nach-oslob\">2.
