Cebu To Dumaguete : The Best Route

September 1, 2019 By Jimmy Huss 4 Comments

Traveling the Philippines is a lot different from most of Asia. With the Philippines having over 7,600 islands it’s not always the easiest to get around but it is worth the visit. Getting from Cebu to Dumaguete has become much easier and accessible in recent years. 

When we went to the Philippines for the first time, we knew our first stop had to be Dumaguete. We heard so much about how amazing it is and how we just can’t miss it. The only issue is flying from Manila to Dumaguete is not the cheapest due to there being limited flights. Although this is the case it didn’t stop up from taking the journey. There are cheaper options and one of them could be by going to Cebu first then headed to Dumaguete. 

They offer three different ways to get from Cebu to Dumaguete, bus, plane, and ferry, and we will talk about all of them below.

How to get to Dumaguete from Cebu?

Cebu to Dumaguete bus

Due to the flight being the most expensive route we will talk about that last but first, we will talk about the most common route to take and that’s to travel by bus. First things first you need to get to Southbound Bus Terminal. 

  • Once you arrive there to make sure you find the bus going to Bato. This is another port on the southern tip of Cebu. The main goal is to make it to Liloan Ferry terminal. This journey isn’t all that long or expensive. The Cebu to Dumaguete fare is only 175 Peso for the bus and takes around 4.5 hours.
  • Once you arrive at the port take the fast boat to Sibulan Pier. It’s only a 60 Peso fee and only takes around 30 minutes.
  • Now that the hard part is done you can just grab a trike to wherever you’re staying. 

The entire trip by bus and ferry takes around 5-6 hours depending on if the timing is right with bus and ferry arrival and it only cost you 235 Peso. The Philippines offers many ways to ways around to help you stay on budget if needed.

The bus and Ferry run daily so no need to worry about that. Make sure you catch the Creces Bus schedule accordingly. The times are listed below.

There are five trips each week from Cebu to Dumaguete via ferry and vice versa. The total journey takes around 6-7 hours. The passenger fare depends on what type of accommodation you choose. With the boat taking so long you can choose everything from Economy to Suite rooms. Below are all your options Cebu to Dumaguete Ferry rooms and fare. For the most up to date, ferry schedule checks the Marine traffic site here. It not only is a live update to where the ship is but it also tells you its arrival and departure time from each port. This was by far the most detailed and up to date source of information I could find.

Cebu and Dumaguete are our two favorite places in the Philippines. They have tons of stuff to do and some of the best-hidden gems. They also offer very easy travel options to many of the surrounding islands like Apo Island and Siquijor. We spent a month exploring Dumaguete and Cebu and didn’t even scratch the surface. From incredible waterfalls to the most amazing marine life in the world these are two places you must not miss when in the Philippines. 

** If you have extra time and want to see more of the Philippines make sure you don’t miss El Nido and Coron. These are two of the most popular spots in the Philippines and for a good reason.**

Travel is bigger than just us taking a trip. ⁣
⁣
To me It’s about helping people, learning about the cultures, and sharing them with the world. When I first arrived on a Sunday I was walking the streets of #istanbul🇹🇷 and couldn’t find any businesses open, actually after talking to some locals they said the only businesses allowed open were government-run restaurants, shops, and stores. The locally run shops weren’t allowed open on weekends and The local Turkish people weren’t even allowed outside on Saturdays and Sundays only the tourist were. ⁣
⁣
It was was their best effort to stop the spread of Covid. A street that receives 3 million people a day is now a ghost town(swipe right). I was really worried that it would be like that the whole trip. ⁣
⁣
Now that Monday rolls around you can see life in the city again smiles in the streets, children playing and helping their siblings (swipe right). Just know that this series coming up is more than sharing what I learn but helping people that need it in a time that’s hard for everyone.⁣
⁣
Support local business, help a friend in need and be kind to everyone. You never know when you will need help.⁣
⁣
Love you all and thank you for being here supporting this community. ⁣

Went to see the sunrise and saw a snowstorm.⁣
⁣
First time in my life I got to see a snowstorm and in Asia and Europe all on the same day! Did you know this was possible?⁣
⁣
In the last 30 days, I have completely filled up a brand new 2TB hard drive. These two series are the most in-depth ones yet and I am so happy that I got to see snow and sunshine in both Serbia and Turkey all in one trip. Most of the time it takes two trips to see both sides of a city but we got to see snow in both. Ironically both snow days were on my last day in each country.⁣

Serbia blessed us with snow on the last day of the trip I’m hoping Istanbul will do the same!⁣
⁣
Feeling fresh, excited, and motivated. With the first trip of the year under the belt, I’m excited to get back home and continue to push out these two series.⁣
⁣
Where should I travel to next?⁣
⁣
@jrherrm and I will be in Puerto Rico soon so as long as things go as planned you can expect at least one video from there but if it doesn’t open in time where should we go?!⁣
⁣

Do you travel for warmth? Most of the time I avoid traveling to cold places but honestly, this was exactly what I needed!⁣⁣

I didn’t expect to see snow this trip, with the weather forecasted for rain i was going to make the most out of it and see as much as I could. I really was super lucky catching the first snowfall of the year in #belgradeserbia⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Well, Serbia was full of surprises, from the food, people, and places It was a country I really need to see more of. Check out the newest video on Serbian food in Belgrade now live on the tube (link in Bio)⁣

Never did I think I could experience Christmas twice in one year. Christmas is always the most special time of the year for me. I love the festivities and family spending time together. It’s just so magical to see the laughter and love that comes from it. ⁣

Merry Christmas!⁣

Did you know Christmas is January 7th for Orthodox?⁣

Happy New Year!⁣ ⁣ Like most places in the wor Happy New Year!⁣
⁣
Like most places in the world, Serbia is doing the best they can to help control Covid 19 so although New Years is normally spent staying up till 12 and ringing in the New Year with good drinks, friends, and loved ones. The cities shut down at 6 pm. ⁣

How did you spend your New Years Eve and Day?⁣
