Heading to Santa Fe, Bantayan Island, or planning your trip back to mainland Cebu? Before you leave, it helps to know how much to prepare for your ferry ticket—especially if you’re bringing a motorcycle, car, multicab, SUV, or another vehicle.
The good news is that travelers have several ferry options serving Santa Fe. Based on the Santa Fe, Cebu Fare Guide updated September 29, 2026, the routes covered include Aznar Shipping between Santa Fe and Medellin, Bethlehem Shipping between Escalante and Santa Fe, Island Shipping between Hagnaya and Santa Fe, and Super Shuttle between Santa Fe and Hagnaya.
I’ve put the fares together below so you don’t have to jump between different announcements to compare prices.
Whether you’re a backpacker heading to Bantayan for a beach weekend, a family bringing a vehicle, a student traveling home, or a local simply checking the latest fare before going to the port, here’s your easy-to-follow Santa Fe ferry fare guide for 2026.
Important travel reminder: The rates below are based on the Santa Fe Tourism Office fare guide dated September 29, 2026. Ferry fares, sailing schedules, vessel assignments, and operating conditions can change. It’s still best to confirm with the shipping company before your actual trip.
Santa Fe Ferry Fares 2026 at a Glance
There isn’t just one way to reach Santa Fe by sea.
Your best option will depend on where you’re coming from, whether you’re traveling as a passenger or bringing a vehicle, and which sailing fits your itinerary.
The September 29 guide covers these four services:
| Shipping Line | Route |
|---|---|
| Aznar Shipping | Santa Fe–Medellín |
| Bethlehem Shipping | Escalante – Santa Fe |
| Island Shipping | Hagnaya – Santa Fe |
| Super Shuttle | Santa Fe – Hagnaya |
For travelers coming from the mainland of Cebu, Hagnaya is one of the familiar gateways to Bantayan Island, while the Santa Fe to Medellin connection gives travelers another option. The Bethlehem Shipping service shown in the guide connects Escalante and Santa Fe.
Aznar Shipping Santa Fe to Medellin Fare 2026
If you’re taking Aznar Shipping between Santa Fe and Medellin, the passenger fare depends on whether you choose non-air-conditioned or air-conditioned accommodation.
Aznar Shipping Passenger Rates
| Passenger Category | Non-Aircon | Aircon |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | ₱315 | ₱390 |
| Student | ₱250 | ₱305 |
| Senior | ₱215 | ₱275 |
| Half Economy – 3 to 9 years old | ₱155 | ₱190 |
For a regular passenger, that’s a difference of ₱75 between the non-aircon and aircon options.
If you’re trying to keep your Bantayan trip budget as low as possible, the ₱315 regular non-aircon fare is the cheaper option listed in the guide. If you’d rather have air-conditioned accommodation, the regular rate is ₱390.
Students are listed at ₱250 non-aircon or ₱305 aircon, while the senior rates are ₱215 and ₱275, respectively.
Children covered by the Half Economy (3–9 years) category are listed at ₱155 non-aircon or ₱190 aircon.
If you’re claiming a discounted fare, bring the appropriate valid ID or supporting document.
Aznar Shipping Rolling Cargo Rates
Bringing your motorcycle or car to Bantayan? This is the part you’ll want to check carefully.
The Santa Fe–Medellin guide also provides the following rolling cargo rates:
| Vehicle Type | Rate |
|---|---|
| Motorcycle | ₱675 |
| Motorcycle above 400 cc | ₱810 |
| Tricycle | ₱1,080 |
| Automobile / Multicab | ₱1,625 |
| SUV / Pickup / MPV / Van / L300 / Bongo | ₱2,280 |
| 6W ELF – Empty | ₱2,400 |
| 6W ELF – Loaded | ₱2,750 |
| 6W Forward – Empty | ₱2,750 |
| 6W Forward – Loaded | ₱3,115 |
| 8W Truck – Empty | ₱3,475 |
| 8W Truck – Loaded | ₱3,835 |
| 10W Dropside/Wingvan – Empty | ₱3,595 |
| 10W Dropside/Wingvan – Loaded | ₱3,835 |
| 12–18W Trucks – Empty | ₱4,560 |
| 12–18W Trucks – Loaded | ₱5,500 |
If you’re bringing a vehicle, don’t just look at the passenger fare and assume that’s your total cost. Vehicle classification matters, particularly for trucks and commercial vehicles where loaded and empty rates are different.
When in doubt about which category your vehicle falls under, ask the shipping line before heading to the port.

Bethlehem Shipping Escalante to Santa Fe Schedule and Fare
For travelers coming from the Escalante side, the guide includes the Bethlehem Shipping service.
The schedule shown is marked Monday to Sunday, so this is presented as a daily service in the September 29 guide.
Bethlehem Shipping Schedule
| Trip | Departure | Arrival |
|---|---|---|
| Barcelona → Santa Fe | 9:00 AM | 11:30 AM |
| Santa Fe → Barcelona | 12:00 Noon | 2:30 PM |
Based on those published departure and arrival times, the scheduled journey is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes each way.
If you’re planning around another bus, ferry, hotel check-in, or land transfer, however, give yourself some extra allowance rather than planning everything down to the minute.
Sea travel can be affected by weather and operational conditions.
Bethlehem Shipping Passenger Fare
The guide labels the passenger rates as “Angasil Only.”
| Passenger Category | Fare |
|---|---|
| Regular | ₱800 |
| Student/Senior | ₱640 |
| Children (2–12) | ₱400 |
| Infant | FREE |
The source displays two identical passenger-rate boxes, both labeled Angasil Only, with the same fares.
Because the fare guide does not provide further explanation of that label, it’s best to confirm the applicable boarding point and fare directly with the operator rather than making assumptions.

Island Shipping Hagnaya to Santa Fe Fare 2026
For many Cebu travelers, the Hagnaya–Santa Fe route is the one they’ll be looking for.
Island Shipping’s updated passenger fares in the guide apply to:
Hagnaya → Santa Fe and vice versa
That means the displayed rates cover travel in either direction.
Island Shipping Passenger Fares
| Passenger Category | Fare |
|---|---|
| Regular | ₱380 |
| PWD / Senior Citizen | ₱271.45 |
| Student | ₱304 |
| Child (1–11 years old) | ₱190 |
A regular passenger should therefore prepare ₱380 for the fare shown in this September 29 guide.
Students are listed at ₱304, while the PWD/Senior Citizen rate is ₱271.45.
Children from 1 to 11 years old are listed at ₱190.
For anyone traveling as a group, especially a family, knowing these rates ahead of time makes budgeting much easier.
Island Shipping Rolling Cargo Rates
If you’re bringing a vehicle from Hagnaya to Santa Fe—or vice versa—the guide also lists rolling cargo prices.
| Vehicle Type | Rate |
|---|---|
| Auto / Multicab | ₱1,500 |
| 4-Wheels / Pick-Up / SUV | ₱2,200 |
| 4-Wheels / Canter / ELF | ₱2,400 |
| 6-Wheels / Canter / ELF | ₱2,900 |
| 6-Wheels / 4-Ward | ₱3,300 |
| 6-Wheels / Extended | ₱3,900 |
| 10-Wheels | ₱3,900 |
| 12-Wheels | ₱5,600 |
If you’re planning a Bantayan road trip and want your own vehicle on the island, these are the rates you’ll want to include in your budget.
Again, confirm how your specific vehicle will be classified before travel. Two vehicles that look similar to us may not necessarily fall under the same shipping category.

Super Shuttle Santa Fe to Hagnaya Rates 2026
The fourth operator included in the guide is Super Shuttle, serving the Santa Fe–Hagnaya route.
The poster specifically identifies these as rolling rates specific to Super Shuttle Ferry, although the table also includes passenger categories.
The effective date shown is September 29, 2026.
Super Shuttle Passenger and Rolling Rates
| Category | Rate |
|---|---|
| Regular Passenger | ₱392 |
| Student | ₱313 |
| Senior Citizen / PWD | ₱279 |
| Minor (3–11 years) | ₱196 |
| Bicycle – BMX | ₱257 |
| Bicycle – Mountain Bike | ₱384 |
| Motorcycle – 150 cc | ₱1,033 |
| Motorcycle – Big Bike 200 cc up | ₱1,247 |
| Motorcycle with Sidecar | ₱1,647 |

| SUV / Pick-up / Van / Ranger | ₱3,297 |
| Passenger Jeep / H100 | ₱3,501 |

If you’re traveling with a motorcycle, pay attention to the engine classification shown in the fare guide.
A 150 cc motorcycle is ₱1,033, while a big bike of 200 cc and above is listed at ₱1,247. A motorcycle with a sidecar is ₱1,647.
The guide also separates bicycles into two categories: BMX at ₱257 and mountain bike at ₱384.

Island Shipping vs. Super Shuttle: Hagnaya–Santa Fe Passenger Fare
Since both Island Shipping and Super Shuttle are shown serving Hagnaya and Santa Fe, it’s useful to put their passenger fares beside each other.
| Passenger | Island Shipping | Super Shuttle |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | ₱380 | ₱392 |
| Student | ₱304 | ₱313 |
| Senior/PWD | ₱271.45 | ₱279 |
| Child/Minor* | ₱190 | ₱196 |
*The age classifications shown by the operators are not identical. Island Shipping’s guide lists Child (1–11 years old), while Super Shuttle lists Minor (3–11 years old).
For regular passengers, the difference in the published rates is only ₱12.
But I wouldn’t choose a ferry based on ₱12 alone.
When I’m planning an island trip, I’d also look at the sailing time that works best for the itinerary, vehicle availability if I’m bringing one, where I’m coming from, and how early I can realistically reach the port.
Sometimes convenience is worth more than saving a few pesos.
Which Ferry Should You Take to Santa Fe?
This really depends on your starting point.
If you’re approaching Bantayan from Hagnaya, the guide gives you Island Shipping and Super Shuttle options.
If Medellin works better for your route, Aznar Shipping is included with both passenger and rolling cargo rates.
For travelers coming through the Escalante side, the guide shows Bethlehem Shipping’s service connecting Barcelona and Santa Fe.
The important thing is not to assume every ferry leaves from the same port.
Before booking accommodation or arranging your land transportation, double-check exactly which port your chosen vessel uses.
Bringing a Motorcycle or Car to Bantayan Island
If you’re going to Bantayan for more than a quick overnight trip, bringing your own vehicle can be tempting.
Having a motorcycle or car gives you more freedom once you’re on the island. You don’t have to organize transportation every time you want to explore somewhere away from your accommodation.
But calculate the total cost first.
For example, don’t compare only the passenger fares. If you’re taking a motorcycle, car, SUV, or pickup, the rolling cargo charge can be significantly higher than the passenger ticket.
Also ask whether the listed vehicle rate already includes the driver or whether passenger fares are handled separately. The provided fare guide does not clearly establish this for every operator, so it’s something worth confirming before payment.
Going to Bantayan Without a Vehicle
You don’t necessarily need to bring a vehicle to enjoy Bantayan.
If you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or for a short beach trip, going as a regular passenger can be much simpler.
You’ll avoid the additional rolling cargo cost and the process of loading a vehicle onto the ferry.
For travelers who mainly plan to stay around Santa Fe and arrange local transportation when needed, this may be the easier option.
On the other hand, families with lots of luggage or travelers planning to move around extensively may find bringing a vehicle more convenient.
There’s no single right choice—it depends on the kind of Bantayan trip you’re planning.
Budgeting for Your Santa Fe Trip
When people budget for Bantayan, it’s easy to focus on the hotel, food, and beach activities and forget about the transportation costs on both sides of the ferry.
Your actual travel budget may include:
the bus or private transportation to the port, ferry passenger fare, vehicle or rolling cargo fare if applicable, transportation after arriving in Santa Fe, food and drinks during the journey, and your return trip.
If you’re traveling with several family members, those individual fares add up quickly.
Checking the prices before leaving home makes the whole trip much easier to budget.
Travel Tips Before Going to the Port
My biggest tip is simple: don’t arrive at the port assuming the schedule and fare you saw online several weeks ago are still exactly the same.
This guide is useful for planning, but sea travel can change because of weather, vessel availability, port conditions, or operational adjustments.
If you’re traveling during a long weekend, Holy Week, Christmas, New Year, a local festival, or another busy period, expect more passengers than usual.
Bring a valid ID, especially if you’re claiming a student, senior citizen, or PWD fare.
If you’re bringing a vehicle, prepare the necessary vehicle documents and confirm any additional requirements directly with the operator.
And if you have a hotel booking in Bantayan, avoid planning your arrival too tightly around the ferry’s expected arrival time. A little allowance can save you unnecessary stress.
Santa Fe Tourism Office Contact
The fare guide lists the Santa Fe Tourism Office contact number as (0930) 299 5883.
This can be useful if you need local travel information or clarification before heading to Santa Fe.
The guide also displays operator inquiry/contact numbers, including 0910 813 1597 and 0954 460 5314 in the respective sections.
Because contact information can change, verify the number if you’re reading this article much later than the September 29, 2026 update.
