Avoid the typhoon season or when there is an incoming typhoon. The delays/cancelled ferry trips at Matnog port caused by inclement weather will ruin your trip schedule. In good days, make sure you are at Matnog before 6 AM so you will reach Ormoc before night. If you are the only driver, you have to rest at Ormoc and continue your travel to Bato (Leyte) the next day. Ferry schedule from Bato to Ubay (Bohol) is at 9 Am and 9 PM, Medlalion Shipping is the ferry operator. Google and call them to be sure that they still operate this route and the type of vessel they use and time.

If you wanted a less tiring route and not time press but less scenic. From Matnog go straigh to Calbayog -Magino-o Pier and take the Cokaliong Magino-o->Cebu Ferry. The ferry leave at night (7 PM) and arrives Cebu at around 5 AM the next day. Then from Cebu take the ferry to either Tagbilaran or Tubigon. Just google the ferry schedule.

it is. the international airport in panglao has just kicked off construction. the beaches are great. the chocolate hills. and tubigon is a growing town. you'll enjoy island hopping there.☺
