Via Sea

Butuan is easily accessible by boat from Manila, and Cebu via the Nasipit port, 18 kilometers from the city proper. Fares vary according to accommodations.

Direct trips from Manila to Butuan usually take two days via the shipping carriers such as Superferry and Sulpicio Lines.  Trips from Cebu to Butuan are overnight trips departing Cebu usually at 8PM and arriving Nasipit Port by 6AM. One may take a van, bus or multicab to reach the city proper. Cars for rent are available at the seaport to reach the CSU main campus, but all are not metered, so remember to agree on the fee before boarding.
