A resident discount is also on offer for a number of Spanish and Italian crossings — select the "Residents" option where available and the price will adjust automatically. Make sure you can show proof of address, such as a residency certificate or ID card, when you check in.
Document requirements differ by route, so check what you'll need well before departure. Travelling from Batangas to Cagayan De Oro generally calls for a valid passport, plus any visa or national ID your nationality requires. Since rules depend on both your citizenship and your destination's regulations, our Check-in, Travel Documents & Tickets guide is a good place to check the details and avoid delays at check-in.
Getting your tickets is simple — enter your departure port, arrival port, and preferred travel date to see every fare and sailing available. From there, you can compare alternative routes and departure times to land on the best option for your trip.
Watch for early-bird pricing and flexible ticket formats, such as upgrades or flexi-fares that allow later changes or cancellations. Enter your details accurately, including passenger count and vehicle information, to keep your booking process smooth.
A confirmation email lands in your inbox the moment your booking is finalised. How your boarding pass gets issued from there depends on the specific ferry operator.
Certain operators release your boarding pass right after booking; others want you to check in once you reach the port. Where available, the Direct Ferries app lets you check in online ahead of time.
Ticket desks sit near the ferry terminal in most cases. Give yourself extra time before departure to collect your tickets and complete check-in without stress.
You'll need to present your confirmation email plus valid photo ID — a passport or identity card — at check-in. Pet owners should bring vaccination and insurance paperwork, and anyone using a resident discount should have proof of address on hand.

Batangas Port, also known as the Batangas Pier, lies in the south west coast of the Philippines, primarily serving the Calabarzon region. Known as the alternate port of Manila, Batangas Port is only a two hour drive from the capital, with bus services running frequently and many taxis available for the journey. The city is famous for the Taal Volcano and Taal Heritage Town, which attract many visitors a year. With several crossings a day, Batangas Port is primarily used for travellers to access the popular tourist destination of Puerto Galera. The sailing takes roughly 90 minutes and arrives at the Muelle Pier. Despite its location in a friendly, bustling city, Batangas Port can be troublesome; foreign visitors are advised to be extra careful when buying tickets and make sure all purchases are made through official services.
Famous for its whitewater rafting and kayaking adventures, Cagayan De Oro is located on the north coast of the Philippine’s most southerly island of Mindanao. Away from the water, Cagayan De Oro has a thriving shopping scene, specifically the night market which stays open till 3am, creating a livelier atmosphere than the average shopping experience. Ferry routes out of Cagayan De Oro are fairly infrequent; the most common crossing is to Manila, which only runs four times per week with 2GO Travel. The crossing lasts around 21 hours and typically runs either in the morning or very late in the evening. 2GO also offer ferry routes to Cebu, Bacolod and Iloilo, but again the ferries run infrequently with no more than three a week. The crossings are often inconsistent so it may be best to check for live updates on departures.
