Cebu to Surigao City Ferry Terminal Destination Reviews

I had about 50 kg of luggage with me, so I thought flying would make the journey very expensive. Instead, I chose the low-cost option—and it turned into a great little adventure. On 12Go, you can’t book a private cabin to sleep in, but once you’re on the boat, you can pay around $10 extra for a four-person cabin. It has electricity to charge your phone, and each bed has a curtain, so you can sleep in the dark. It’s also much quieter than the tourist hostel-style room with around 60 bunk beds. I slept very comfortably and arrived at 6:00 in the morning. Boarding was actually fine. A tip if you have heavy luggage: leave it downstairs so you don’t have to drag it up the stairs to your sleeping bunk. I really enjoyed the adventure of traveling by boat. The harbor and check-in process feel a little chaotic at first, but that’s part of the experience. I’m glad I did it—it was definitely an adventure I didn’t want to miss.

It's my first time to ride with Startlite Express. However, I have a bad experience because the departure schedule was delayed resulted to being late with my appointment.

Everything was very good except the cabin was way too cold. Not just for us, but everybody was shivering and putting on sweaters and jackets. There’s no reason to keep it that cold.

The booking was comfortable and easy. The prices are more expensive than booking it by yourself.

You should mention that there are additional fees you have to pay cash and how the check in process is supposed to be.

The vessel was delayed for 6 hours. There was no announcements via email or at the port itself. The comfort room doesn't have a proper toilet and water for flushing. The charging ports are always not available or out of order. There was no privacy in terms of sleeping due to the open bunk beds despite being in the tourist cabin. The staff was helpful, though. Overall, I hope the list mentioned above will be acknowledged.
