Samal Island Ferry Boat, Lantsa, and Bus Schedule and Rates
Nowadays you don’t have to worry on how you can access Samal Island even if you don’t have a private vehicle with you since there are already several options available that you can choose from to get to your chosen destination in the island either via Km. 11 Sasa Port or thru Sta. Ana Wharf. You may take the bus, ferry or ride the barge itself. Please see the equivalent prices per vehicle type for your reference.
Upon arriving at the Babak Port, you may also hire single motorcycles, multicab or tricycles to take you to the resort proper itself so basically, the mode of transportation is not a problem especially if you’re the adventurous type of tourist traveler.
