Ferry schedule, Hagnaya to Sta. Fe
This schedule is based on Island Shipping Corporation. All trips may be cancelled without prior notice. Green Earth Tours and Travel shall not be liable for missed boat rides and confirmed tour packages are non refundable. Make sure you factor in the travel time from Cebu City to Hagnaya. It is best to have allot a 5.5 hour allowance, especially if you will be taking public transportation like Ceres Bus. We suggest that you be prudent and target morning or 1330H trip at the latest as there are chances the later schedules may not sail.
0300H / 0500H / 0630H / 0930H / 1130H / 1330H / 1530H 1730H
Ferry schedule, Sta. Fe to Hagnaya
0500H / 0730H / 0930H / 1130H / 1330H / 1530H / 1730H
Ideally, it’s best to take the 1130H or 1330H schedule. It takes around 4 hours to get back to the city from Hagnaya, you would not want to reach your hotel late at night. We usually advise against taking the boat trip on the same day of your flight back home. It is prudent to give allowances in case of cancelled boat trips which may result to you missing your flight. That would mean additional costs, which we hope to avoid.
