Document requirements differ by route, so check what you'll need well before departure. Travelling from Bonifacio to Palau 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.
A handful of reasons can explain the lack of departures from Bonifacio to Palau on your selected date — timetable adjustments, sold-out sailings, or a seasonal gap are the usual culprits. Try a different date or browse other routes through our Route & Port finder.

Located on the southern tip of the French island of Corsica, Bonifacio is a city that lies on the Mediterranean Sea coast and is separated from the island of Sardinia by the Strait of Bonifacio, which is 11 km wide. The city is home to the only harbour on Corsica's south coast and is a very popular visitor destination. During the summer months, the city's beaches are a major draw as are the city's other major attractions which include Torra di Sant' Amanza, Torra di Sponsaglia, Église Saint-Dominique de Bonifacio and Église Sainte-Marie-Majeure de Bonifacio.
For visitors interested in prehistoric sites, Bonifacio has two that are important. The first is the ancient cave shelter of Araguina-Sennola, near the city of Capello to the north of Bonifacio. This is a site of the Lady of Bonifacio, a female burial carbon-dated to about 6570 BC, which is either late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic. The second site is the chambered tomb of Vasculacciu near Figari. This tomb belongs to the Megalithic Culture and is dated to the Middle Neolithic. The alignment of the two and the extensive use of chert from Monte Arci in Sardinia shows that the Bay of Bonifacio was a route to inland Corsica from the earliest times.
Ferry services from the port depart to Santa Teresa di Gallura, Sardinia.
