Southern Leyte is frequently mentioned as a desirable destination (and it is) and often dismissed due to difficult access. For future reference, be aware that the Ocean Jet fast ferry is now servicing Maasin City (and has been since September 4). The ferry is scheduled to leave Cebu pier 1 at 7 am and arrive in Maasin approximately 3 hours later. From Maasin it is about 30 minutes to Padre Burgos by private transfer. From Maasin the ferry continues to Surigao (scheduled departure 10:30) and arrives in plenty of time to catch a ferry to Siargao. The ferry leaves Surigao bound for Maasin at 1 pm, and leaves Maasin bound for Cebu at 3:30.
There have been several attempts over the years to make Maasin accessible via fast ferry and none have met with long term success. Ocean Jet is no slouch. Hopefully including Surigao in this route is the key.
