To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. JCalbert offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Most Popular Routes of JCalbert?
Here are some of the most popular piers covered by JCalbert’s schedule:
The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.
Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel
Pros of Ferry Travel
To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.
Cons of Ferry Travel
Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

Left almoat exactly at 5AM. Even when we got q flat tire and had to stop, we still arived more or less at 10AM. The ride itself was definitely an experience but I went into this expecting it so it was fine. You get what you pay for!

We were picked up at our hotel and dropped at the location stated on the booking. The driver took two bathroom breaks, which was needed on a nearly six hour drive.
However, the van was very crammed and not comfortable. We arrived nearly an hour after what was stated on the booking, even though the driver drove quite fast. The communication was also not great, the person behind the contact number could not even tell me the van license plate the morning of our booking and the van ended up being branded by a different company, which made things confusing. The driver made no effort to speak English and other passengers had to translate for us how long the breaks were etc.

Driver wasn't very friendly. He picked up my cousin and I along with another couple from the airport. He was on time and was waiting for at least one other person for about 15-20 minutes past the designated 5:30 pickup time. Then, he brought us to a nearby location where we were told to transfer to another van, which had people in it already. I'm guessing they just wanted to consolidate, which is fine but he should've at least told us that was the plan.
We were almost at maximum capacity when we left that second spot...but then we picked up one more person, who sat in the passenger side of the front. Then we went to the gas station to fill up. Why wasn't the van already full of gas?
We probably didn't get on the road until about 6:15pm. Even though he was on time as far as picking us up at the airport goes, we were still late in leaving Puerto Princesa.
I'll give the driver credit for driving FAST, especially since it was very dark. It felt like we were riding in a roller coaster!
We stopped at a restaurant as the halfway point for about 15 minutes.
We finally got to our destination but the driver didn't say much as far as info goes.
More than anything, the driver should've been more informative and friendly.

This was a good organized organization. I checked in and went to get some food. They called me to inform me to come back because we departed earlier. I also had a request to sit in the front from not feeling well in the back while driving fast and these curves, they arranged that for me. It was a smooth and actually fast and very comfortable ride. These minivans are more comfortable and spacious then other vans I went. This organization is definitely recommendable!

It was alright! The driver was nice and even made stops for eat and toilets. But at some point he was driving really fast and pressing the break a lot suddenly. At least when it started raining, he slowed down a bit

Me and my partner were put in the back of the van, essentially the boot with two small seats, no leg room and everyone else's bags next to us squashing us in. Only way out was the boot, so every stop bags had to be removed so we could get out.air con didn't quite reach us. Was a very rough journey and we were thrown around quite a bit as we were over the wheel arch. Also was not clear if it was the right van, the driver didn't know who I was, so I had to go searching for someone who did, eventually after walking back and forth with baggage between people in the mid day sun, we were told it was the correct van. Didn't leave puerto until around 4pm due to picking up of packages and of locals.

Very good customer service, we were able to change the departure time on the same day. Van was not too full and comfortable. The only negative thing was the driving. The driver went unnecessarily fast in sharp turns and was driving way too close to the cars in front of us.

They picked up us from the airport. Leaving and arriving on time. 5 hs trip, only one stop of 20 min for the toilet or some snack. The van was in a very good condition and had air conditioner. The driver was responsible. Our flight was canceled and they allowed us to change our trip they so we didn't missed the transfer. Higly recommended.
