Buses to Batayan Island is located at Cebu North Bus Terminal. Buses leaves frequently from 1am to 11pm. Travel time from Cebu City to Hagnaya Port is around 4 hours depending on the traffic. Cebu is a progressive province there are a lot of vehicles even if you are already away from Metro Cebu. Add the fact that there are plenty of road works on going.
The challenge is to catch the Roro to Bantayan Island (Sta. Fe Port) from Hagnaya Port. The RoRo or Ferry leaves every hour. The last trip is 5:30PM.
If you leave Cebu North Bus Terminal at 12nn, you’ll sure to catch the 5pm ferry from Hagnaya to Sta. Fe with allowance of time.
Alternatively, you can hire a Van to bring you to Hagnaya Port. Vans and private vehicle can take alternate route that has less traffic bringing you to Hagyana faster.
