Getting from Bohol to Cebu and Vice Versa

So how does one get from Bohol to Cebu and vice versa?

Here are the options:
 
1. by taking a plane
2. by riding a fast ferry/fast craft vessel - approx. 2 hours
3. by kayaking - approx. 6 hours? :)
4. by swimming - approx. 2 days? :)) haha

During my recent trip, I chose option number 2 because option number 1 is too pricey. I guess I don't need to explain why I didn't even consider options 3 & 4. :D

Several fast ferry companies offer daily trips to and from Bohol and Cebu. We opted for Oceanjet because their trip schedules best fitted our DIY itinerary. For the daily trip schedules and corresponding rates please click here for Bohol-Cebu trips and here for Cebu-Bohol trips. 


I am relatively satisfied with Oceanjet's services but not with the facilities. The ferry crews are kind and accommodating. I have seen how they attended to customer requests immediately. However, the seats are not well-kept. A few seats have already come off the metal bar that used to hold them. Also, a few seats wiggle continuously due to some loose screws.


I would not recommend booking a trip in the evening because the waves are calmer in the morning. I had to hold on to my seat during the evening trip to Bohol because the large and strong waves kept tossing the ferry. I was only able to relax during the morning trip back to Bohol.
