Port of Jagna

Overview

Port of Jagna is Bohol’s southern maritime hub — the principal departure point for ferry services to Northern Mindanao and Camiguin Island. The 2020–21 Philippine Ports Authority wharf reinforcement upgraded the berth to accommodate larger RoRo vessels. Jagna is roughly 70 km east of Tagbilaran along the southern coastal highway — about 1.5–2 hours by bus.

Operators and routes

Schedule data: Lite Ferries’ Jagna–CDO leg is the Bohol-leg return of their Mindanao network. Super Shuttle Ferry’s Camiguin schedule is less frequent than their Cebu routes — verify before travel.

Lite Ferries: Jagna–Cagayan de Oro overnight

An overnight bunk-ferry option for travellers heading to Northern Mindanao without routing through Cebu. Bunk classes: Economy A, Standard, Tourist Lying, Business. Book a Tourist Lying or Business class for overnight comfort.

Tip: print your ticket — overnight RoRo gangways often require a physical ticket, not a phone screen.

Super Shuttle Ferry (which also operates Hagnaya–Bantayan, Oslob–Siquijor, and the Bohol–Camiguin service) connects Jagna to Balbagon Port, Camiguin Island — a direct island-hop without routing through Mindanao. Check 12Go for the current schedule as frequency may be limited.
