Banca Boat to Paradise, Cebu City to Bohol, Cebu, Philippines

- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- I took this Banca boat from Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines to Getafe port in northern Bohol Island. This was the start of a tour of Bohol. These small ferries called Banca boats come in various sizes and designs and have outriggers on each side for stabilization. It is an interesting journey for those not subject to seasickness. The piers and ports vary and many are being improved. Transportation and tour offers are often offered upon getting off the ferry.
So many good memories going to getafe on small boat !! I ride on top too!!
Thanks. I really enjoyed the ride over.
Nice video..
Thanks for the visit Alfonso.

Thanks for coming along for the ride Danny.
Bianca boats is like a water taxi...can be use for any haul that can fit in it...we used to haul our coconut Copra growing up...great video as usual, thnx for sharing ...
These boats are the workhorses of the sea for many making a living with them. Thanks for watching Milo.
I like the format here, thanks Rod, great job as always!
Thanks for the kind comment Jerry. It is always good to hear from viewers like you.
Another great video, Rod, and thank you for all the detailed info you give in your videos. Very useful to us newbies (soon to be), especially. It's so nice to be able to watch videos like this and have an upper hand upon arrival. Thank you!
What did explorers do before UA-cam? LOL. Videos certainly helped me have a comfort level with the Philippines before I came here. Thanks for watching Jason.
Amazing Philippines Haha I know! We definitely live in an age where things are so much easier and convenient. GPS, cell phones...how did we survive before them?😂
Thanks for sharing Rod...some great info. Your story about the chair and help with bag just solidifies my thoughts about the helpfulness of people there. Take care and safe travels 👍👍👍
I find Filipinos very friendly and helpful and I am amazed at how quickly people here take an interest in you dlorbieski.
Thanks Rod that was interesting and informing
Thanks for watching boogieman.
Hey Rod you reminded me of the last time I was in Philippines I took a Supercat to Ormoc city.Quite a thrill.
I love the ferry rides most of the time over airlines. Thanks for watching Rick.
that's a nice video.the banca is fast and safe. salamat Rod for taking us to your trip to tagbilaran.happy holy week there.
I spent a couple days in northern Bohol and then a bus trip to Tagbilaran City. Happy holy week to you as well Lena.
Enjoy your adventures. .:)
There is so much to see and do in the Philippines. Thanks for watching Tsimay.
I miss my hometown of Getafe Bohol..please help to improve our poor town..all people there is hospitality and very peaceful to live there..
I think that the area economy will grow and help out a lot of people Rewel. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for introducing our beloved town of Getafe through social media..I ride many times that boat cebu-getafe vice versa..more passenger will ride that boat everyday because of low fare..so interesting..!!
I enjoyed the ride Rewel and hope to visit Bohol again soon.
I like ferries as well. I also like trains. Planes are bad for your health IMO. Certainly a lot more room than planes. Even if you do have the right of way, relative size matters!
Thanks Anthony. Ferries can be more relaxing although some can get crowed also. It is too bad there aren't more trains in the PH.
wow I relate this of mine going to buhol
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I had never seen a banca boat as big as yours before. Actually, it looks like they are many of that size between Cebu and Bohol.
Great video quality (colorful, bright and sharp) The 1080p setting is great even if it takes you some more time to upload.
Thank you and take care.
There many bancas about this size delivering people and goods to other islands and island hopping tours. Fishing bancas are usually much smaller with 1-5 people on them.
I use the 1080 setting most of the time if there is something interesting to look at.
Thanks for watching and commenting Shineamen.
Thanks for another great video, Rod. You always do such a great job explaining the topics!
Thanks for the kind words Roger.
Rod, great video as always. How long was the voyage - time and miles?
Good question but that was several years ago. I think it took a little over an hour on the boat Gregorio.
lovely
Thanks for watching. I just read an article that looks like a 6 month shutdown of Palawan beaches just may happen. I feel sorry for the employees though.
Amazing Philippines not palawan its boracay
Thanks for catching that. You are correct.
Rod, very interresting vid. How long is the ride from Cebu to Bohol? Once we settle down there, we need to invite you. Come and visit us in Mindanao. I bet you can ride a ferry from Cebu to CDO.
There are ferries to CDO and I would love to come visit. This trip was about 1 1/2 hour. Going to Tagbilaran City, Bohol takes closer to 2 hours. Thanks for watching Malou.
Nice information! A trip to Northern Bohol we have been thinking! As living in Lapu-Lapu I know there`s this kind of bangkas or bancas which takes motorbikes also even these are smaller bikes! I noticed there were not any on that banca, am I right? Anyway soon to find out after a week when landing on Mactan. Thank you and God bless!
There were no motorbikes on this trip. You may find other bancas from Mactan also as a commenter called lionhearted mentioned a port on Mactan that goes to Getafe in northern Bohol. Just ask the locals Leo.
Rod good video. Are there ferries you can take motorcycles on
RORO, roll on roll off, carry vehicles and there are many of them here.
Thank you
I think they want to get off first so they can get to their next mode of transportation earlier. Sometimes the bus or jeepneys have no seats available for latecomers.
Good point John. There is always a scramble for available transport. In China 10 years ago I was literally pushed up the stairs into the plane even though we all had assigned seats. Some people are so impatient.
Be careful on some Ferry boats that will take you or your group on a tour around some small islands in Bohol...the boats are fit to carry up to 20 passengers...but in my experience, I found out during our tour, that the Life jackets on-board are only for the crew of 5 on-board...
Interesting Kent. Thanks for watching.
I use Super Cat the jetfoil...better and faster.
I took the 1st SuperCat trip back to Mactan Ron.
Hello and thanks for your video. I'm going to tour Bohol soon. I fly to Mactan. Do you know if I can drive from Mactan to Getafe with a Banca boat? Or which means of transport are available here?
If you want to go to Getafe in the north part of Bohol I think you have to leave from Pier 1 in Cebu City Leonardo. Things change so there may be transport boats from Mactan but I am not aware of any. You can take a fast ferry from Pier 1 also going to Tagbilaran City in the south and take a bus north or rent a motorbike. Safe travels.
Gd pm po idol msta na po ku
Many thanks. Hope you are well also.
Another great video! I'm trying to find out how to get a safe deposit box in the Philippines. Maybe it's not worth a video request but hoping someone here may have an idea.
Interesting question Michael. If I get time I will stop by a bank and ask.
I have a question there in the Philippines how do you handle the total defrent ways there as far as the laws there ?
I try to stay out of trouble William. LOL. Common sense goes a long way but it is good to be informed also. They seem to be quite tolerant here also.
Thanks Rod... I didn't know there were other options in getting to Bohol... It looked to me like the platform on the back of the boat would be more stable for sitting, although it would probably rough on your hind end.... Approximately how far is Getafe to Tagbilaran?? Thanks again...
I took a bus from Talibon, Bohol near Getafe to Tagbilaran City and it took about 2 1/2 hours I think. The cost was less than 200 pesos, $4 USD, as well. They have Vhire vans as well Bruce.
Hi! Is this a late upload? The date of the video further right below says it’s 09/28/2016. Just noticed it. 😬
This was a trip I took some time ago. I take lots of videos as I travel and walk and sometimes I can use older video better in a topic.
Thanks for watching.
Rod do you have a web page? Or e-mail I'm going to Cebu in May n looking to rent a place preferably a condo with security.Thanks enjoy ur video's always
I am working on a website. My email is noisemasters@gmail.com. Stay is touch Dennis.

I have been to Bohol a couple of times and hope to go again soon Kent.
where is paradise island?
I just used the term paradise to describe Bohol Island Tom.
You know what Paradise is 👊🏻 IS LIE 👊🏻 it's a fantasy create them people and a live as we like them to be 👊🏻
We all have our own idea of what "paradise" is and it is a good term for many places in the Philippines by their own standards. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Magkano ang fare from cebu to bohol?
About 160 Peses I think from pier 1 to Getafe in the north. They also have fast ferries to Tagbilaran City for about 500 pesos I think.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 thank you very much for the info.
