Alona Beach is located in Panglao, it’s an island connected to Bohol Island by two road bridges. Bohol airport is now just 10 min away from our dive center, its located in Panglao since 2018 and Tabligaran port is located in Tabligaran City, the capital of Bohol province, just 20 kilometers away from Alona Beach.
Coming to Alona Beach
By plane from Manila to Tagbilaran
There are three airlines offering direct flights between Manila and Tagbilaran:
By ferry from Cebú to Tagbilaran
Cebu International Airport is located in the city of Lapu-Lapu, in Mactan Island, not far from Cebu city. A taxi can take you from the airport to the port in 30 to 45 minutes for around 200 php. Remember that you should go to port number 1.
You must buy your tickets at the port from one of the companies covering the route Cebu-Tagbilaran:
- OCEAN JET (http://www.oceanjet.net) PORT #1. Is the most popular, it offers nine ferries a day.
- SuperCat (http://www.supercat.com.ph) PORT#1. Offers three fast ferries a day.
- Cokaliong (http://www.cokaliongshipping.com). There is only one ferry a day, every evening.
- Lite Shipping (http://www.liteferries.com)
- Weesam (https://www.weesam.ph)
From Tagbilaran to Alona Beach
Alona Beach is located just 20 kilometers away – 30 minutes- from Tagbilaran. If arriving by ferry you can go to Alona Beach by tricycle, the typical Philippine motorbike with sidecar, for around 400 php, by private car for around 700 php, or by taxi… if you can find one. You can also take a jeepney, but you must go first to the “bus station” and wait for the next one. We don’t recommend this option.
Ask the driver to take you to Bohol Divers Resort. We are located downstairs as you enter the resort, right in front of the beach.
