Why Pedi e-Ticket Is the Easiest Way to Book Ferry Tickets in the Philippines
Live sailing schedules, cashless payments, and e-tickets on your phone. Here is how Pedi e-Ticket takes the stress out of island hopping.
Ferry travel without the port queue
Sea travel is how most of the Philippines gets around. Whether you are heading home for the holidays, catching a beach weekend in Bohol, or commuting between islands for work, the ferry is often the fastest and most affordable option.
Buying a ticket the old way usually means arriving early, lining up at the port, and hoping your trip is not sold out. Pedi e-Ticket lets you book ferry tickets online from your phone or laptop, so you can show up ready to board instead.
See real sailing schedules before you commit
Pick your origin, destination, and travel date, and Pedi e-Ticket shows the available trips for that route. You can compare departure times and accommodation classes side by side and choose the one that fits your plans and budget.
- One-way and round-trip bookings in a single search
- Departure and arrival times shown up front
- Accommodation options and fares before you pay
Popular Visayas and Luzon routes in one place
Pedi e-Ticket covers fast craft routes operated by partners such as OceanJet, connecting major ports across the Visayas, Mindanao, and southern Luzon. Ports on the network include Cebu, Tagbilaran and Getafe in Bohol, Dumaguete, Siquijor, Iloilo, Bacolod, Ormoc, Palompon, Maasin, Surigao, Batangas, and Calapan.
Popular trips such as Cebu to Tagbilaran, Dumaguete to Siquijor, Iloilo to Bacolod, and Batangas to Calapan can all be searched from the same booking form. Available routes depend on the operator schedule for your travel date.
Same price as the ticket booth
Booking online should not cost you more. Some e-ticketing platforms add a markup on the fare, but Pedi e-Ticket charges the same boat fare you would pay at the port ticket booth, straight from the ferry operator.
You see the full price breakdown before you pay. Pedi's service fee is usually waived, and if your chosen payment channel has a convenience fee, it is shown at checkout too. No surprises at the end.
Pay the way you already pay
No need to carry cash to the terminal. Pedi e-Ticket supports cashless payment channels Filipinos use every day, including e-wallets like GCash and Maya, QR Ph, online banking, and cards. The channels shown at checkout depend on what is currently available.
Your booking is confirmed once payment goes through, so you will know right away that your seat is secured.
Your e-ticket, right on your phone
After payment, you can download an e-ticket for each passenger and each leg of the trip, including return and connecting trips. Keep it on your phone or print it out before heading to the port.
Faster checkout for families and barkadas
Booking for a group? You can add up to 10 passengers in one booking, with adult, child, and infant fares. If you sign in, Pedi e-Ticket remembers the passengers you travel with often, so you do not need to retype names and details every time.
Signed-in travellers also get a My Bookings page where they can look up past and upcoming trips and re-download tickets at any time.
