    Hi, I am looking for transportation from cdo to Dumaguete.
    So far I only found Cebu Ferries Corporation - Schedules, leaving
    cdo on tuesdaynights.
    Is this my only option?
    I would prefer leaving cdo on friday or saturday.

    That's all I've ever found as well. I try to work it where I take the ferry on one leg and fast ferry to Cebu and fly to CDO. I prefer to take the ferry to DMGT and get a good nights sleep and not to waste a whole day on the return.

    There is no direct route from Butuan to Dgte, no matter what type of transportation you are taking. I always have to go to Cebu or Cagayan to get to Dgte. One time I was desperate, I have to take a plane from Butuan to Manila and then Manila to Dgte. There is a port in Nasipit (near Butuan), but I dont think they have a direct route to Dgte.

    CDO to Dumaguete

    I found that Cebu Ferries offers a boat from CDO to Dumaguete only on Saturdays departing at 12 noon and arriving Dumaguete at 7:30 sunday morning. Is that the only way to get to Dumaguete from CDO other than going to Cebu or Manila first?

    ferry CDO to Dumaguete

    As far as I know this is indeed the only ferry once a week between these 2 cities. Same ferry returns to CDO on Sunday morning 10am.

    That gives new definition to the term "slow boat"! Do they give the passengers oars?

    ferry CDO to Dumaguete

    It's not a speedboat of course, lol. A sailing time of roughly 7 hours seems to me quite acceptable. The alternative flying CDO-Cebu-Dumaguete, might be even more time consuming.

    A sailing time of 7 hours would be quite acceptable, but how do you find a sailing time of 19.5 hours?

    Maybe they stop to fish somewhere along the way.

    You didn't include details about the 19,5 hours
    I used this ferry many times (in both directions) and never exceeded the sailing time of 7,5 hours except in the event of a delay, what happened once.
    I am not promoting this connection and if someone knows a better option do yourself a favour and use that particular one.
