When the Kawit ferry makes sense

  • You are already in the far north of Cebu (around Kawit or Daanbantayan): Kawit port may be closer for you – compare the road to both ports from where you are. From Cebu City, Hagnaya is the shorter way.
  • You missed the last ferry from Hagnaya: the late ferry leaves Kawit at 11:00 PM and reaches Santa Fe around midnight (published crossing times range from about 55 to 75 minutes).
  • High tide at Hagnaya: after earthquake damage in September 2025, Hagnaya port pauses loading at high tide (since March 2026). Aznar opened the Kawit route in 2022 as an alternative to Hagnaya. Before you change ports, check that Kawit is running and that its next departure suits you.
