After passing through security screening, you may board directly to your destination port without complicated procedures. Before travelling, please note a few important reminders: although the ferry operates daily with stable schedules, there are many travellers during peak season, so early booking is recommended to secure seats.

Schedules and fares may be adjusted seasonally, so be sure to reconfirm the latest information before departure. In case of bad weather, the service may be delayed or cancelled; it is advisable to check weather conditions before heading out. Additionally, you may bring your own seasickness medication, sunscreen, and a light jacket to enhance your comfort during the trip.

It is the top choice for planning an inter‑island journey across Palawan.
