How do you travel between islands in the Philippines? Ferries are one of the main modes of transportation and they come in many sizes and options. The slow ferry or a fast ferry, nonairconditioned, airconditioned, business class, or cabin are available on some ferries. There are also RORO ferries, roll on roll off that can accommodate motorbikes, autos, and trucks. Weather and rough seas can create circumstances where the coast guard will cancel ferries. You may purchase tickets near the ferry terminals or at many travel agencies.
