Misamis Oriental is a province, and Cagayan de Oro, its capital, is the one destination inside it with a confirmed, regularly scheduled ferry link to Bohol. If you’re traveling from Cagayan de Oro city itself, our dedicated guide for that crossing covers the operator, port, and overnight logistics in more depth. This page covers the wider province — what else might be reachable, and what to verify rather than assume.

The confirmed route: from Cagayan de Oro
Lite Shipping runs a regular overnight RORO crossing from Agora Pier, Cagayan de Oro, to Jagna Port on Bohol’s southeastern coast. This is the route almost everyone searching “Misamis Oriental to Bohol” is really looking for, and it’s the one with a named, verifiable operator behind it.
Other Misamis Oriental departure points
Balingoan, a port town north of Cagayan de Oro, comes up in general industry knowledge around Mindanao ferry crossings — but a live check of 12Go’s Misamis Oriental–Bohol listings (2026-07-29) turned up no distinct Balingoan-to-Jagna product, only the Cagayan de Oro–Jagna (Lite Shipping) route.
Until that’s confirmed, the practical answer for most travelers is to route through Cagayan de Oro regardless of which Misamis Oriental town you’re starting from.
Ports and arrival
- Departs: Agora Pier, Cagayan de Oro, on the confirmed Lite Shipping route.
- Arrives: Jagna Port, Bohol’s southeastern gateway, roughly 66 kilometers from Tagbilaran City — budget an additional 1.5–2 hours by van for onward travel to Panglao or Tagbilaran.
Economic context
Jagna’s public market runs on peanut butter made in small batches and kalamay, Bohol’s most common pasalubong sweet — a reasonable stop if your onward transfer from the port isn’t immediate.
Booking
- Search Cagayan de Oro to Bohol on 12Go, regardless of your specific starting point in the province — that’s the confirmed sailing.
- If you’re starting elsewhere in Misamis Oriental, arrange domestic transport to Cagayan de Oro first; it’s the province’s transport hub with regular connections.
- Book Tourist (Lying) or Business class for the overnight crossing.

One honest caveat
Don’t assume your specific Misamis Oriental town has its own direct Bohol link just because it’s in the same province as Cagayan de Oro — verify with a live source, and default to routing through the city if you can’t confirm otherwise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Misamis Oriental the same as Cagayan de Oro for booking purposes?
For this route, yes in practice — the one confirmed ferry link serves Cagayan de Oro city specifically, so that’s what to search and book even if your final destination is elsewhere in the province.
Is there a direct ferry from Balingoan to Bohol?
No distinct product found — a live check of 12Go’s listings surfaces only the Cagayan de Oro–Jagna (Lite Shipping) route. If you’re starting from Balingoan specifically, route through Cagayan de Oro and check operator listings directly for any newer options.
Where does this ferry land in Bohol?
Jagna Port, on the southeastern coast — not Tagbilaran or Panglao. Plan an additional 1.5–2 hours by van for onward travel.
How often does the Cagayan de Oro to Bohol ferry run?
Lite Shipping runs it as a regular overnight service; check 12Go for the current schedule, since a specific fixed timetable wasn’t confirmed in available sources.
What if I’m not starting from Cagayan de Oro city itself?
Arrange domestic transport to Cagayan de Oro first — it’s Misamis Oriental’s transport hub, with regular bus and van connections from other towns in the province.
