What are the best ways to travel between islands in the Philippines?

Updated April 22, 2026

Exploring the Philippines means island hopping, and SouthESIM keeps you connected while you do it! The most common ways to travel between islands are by domestic flights for longer distances, or by ferries and fast crafts for shorter hops. For example, you can fly from Manila to Cebu, then take a ferry to Bohol. For closer islands like those around El Nido, Palawan, you'll often use smaller boats for island-hopping tours. Having SouthESIM means you can check schedules and book tickets on the go.
