Pack like sardine! 18 passengers + driver to share a van.
The shared van does not offer any space for the pack except under your ft. Therefore extra seat or two is a MUST if you do have a pack.
 
Thanks guys. This is going to be heaps of fun. I had read about buying an extra seat or 2 so will definitely do that. I’ll make sure I document the process and get some photos for context.

I work with a couple of lovely Philippino ladies so I’ll definitely be getting some Tagalog phrases to help. ‘I paid for 3 seats’, ‘sorry’, ‘don’t sit on my dive gear’. Ha ha ha.

What kind of vehicle would that be? It doesn't look like those usual Toyota Hi-Ace or similar because it is a lot bigger.

Busted - it's the next best thing - the chicken bus. Also an option but not as comfortable, fast, or convenient as a van.
It's a good time to mention that if you do this route from Tacloban south, no matter how you get to Bohol, as long as you have no need to return to Cebu your beat the band option onward to Dumaguete (and then to Dauin) is the fast ferry from Tagbilaran.

Challenge accepted. I'll see if I can top the Chicken Bus. :wink:
