How to Get There By Sea

From Manila to Iloilo

As a coastal city and major transportation gateway, Iloilo is well connected by ferry connections to major islands and cities in the Philippines. Regularly scheduled direct ferries to Iloilo seaports are available from Manila, Cebu, Bacolod , Cagayan de Oro, Palawan, and Guimaras . Traveling to Iloilo from other major destinations in the country is also possible through a combination of roll-on roll-off (RORO) ferries and land connections.

Travel time to Iloilo City by direct ferry varies depending on the shipping company and boat / vessel that operates the route but it should take around 15 minutes from Guimaras , 1 to 1.5 hours from Bacolod , 12 to 14 hours from Cebu, and up to 27 hours from Manila.
