Ozamis to Mukas ferry
Daima Shipping Corporation
Northwestern Mindanao - the short hop between Ozamis to Mukas by barge cuts about two hours travel time off a road trip driving the long way around the bay.
I paid 56 pesos for a motorbike and driver. The trip is easy and quick and there is no hassle with the registration or other paperwork because you are not leaving Mindanao, you’re just taking a shortcut.
If you arrived in Dapitan by ferry from Dumaguete and plan to head to either Iligan or Cagayan de Oro this is your next connection. Just drive out to the dock in Ozamis and buy your ticket from the men at the desk under the shelter.
It’s one of the easiest crossings I have done.
Mindanao gets a lot of bad press but it’s a reasonably easy place to travel if you stick to the main roads. Do a little research before making your travel plans, taking into consideration your own risk tolerance.
