Can anyone help please, Is there a ro-ro (car ferry) on dumaguete pier, going to tagbilaran. any Information appreciated. cheers Jim
you have to go from San Jose (Tampi) to Bato and then from Argao to Loon combined one way fare is about 1700 peso for a van and 700 for an XL200 about 3 hours driving and 3 hours on ferries
Thanks Cebudiver for the prompt reply. I looked on the net for Bato and Argao, and they looked beautiful places. I will probably stay and explore them. Found this link.YouTube - Philippines Skimboarding Argao,Cebu cheers Jim
if you stay near Bato, may I recommend this place? index we have been fully booked since february with a group of japaneese laying fiber optic cable across the straight but they should be finishing by mid june marine village is also OK, but overpriced IMO - thats why the japaneese employees moved from there to our place ... the drive from Bato to Argao is scenic but the road is twisty in places - watch out for the oncoming ceres busses and v-hires ... there is a nice place in Alcoy on the left side of the road on top of the hill - look for the large cogan grass roof when you get to Loon, note the churches en-route to tagbilaran - the chocolate hills are nice for 30 min or so but not really a place to linger ... if you are into the 60's ...janis, the dead and such... nuts huts is a nice getaway - if not, the artsy theme and the butterflies get boring after awhile-the tarsiers are interesting - in the wild at sunset - not at the tourist trap near nuts... alona is a little overtouristed but the diving at balikasag is great
