Update 2014: I was able to exchange messages with Kuya Edu and he says it's good to go in Camotes at this time. :)
From Reclamation
Area or SM City Cebu, we drove a jeep (25 or 27) going to North Bus Terminal. We paid 10php
for the ride. We went off to North Bus Terminal and we ride a Bus going to
Danao Port. Just tell the driver or conductor to drop you off. The fare is Php
40 and less than 40 minutes travel time depending on traffic.
When arriving at
the Danao Port, you have to pay Php 180 for Non-Aircon and Php 200 fare for
Aircon from Danao Port to Consuelo Port in Camotes. I suggest you go for the
Non-Aircon so you can sightsee during the travel. While waiting for our
departure, we visited Danao Church just in front of Danao Port to kill our time
and pray for a safe travel.

When the Jomalia Shipping vessel, we were already
on queue to get to the ferry. A lot of young Koreans (I guess students) and a
few Americans were also on board to go to Camotes. They kind of overpopulated
the whole vessel since all you can hear was foreign language. I wonder why these
non-nationals know this place and can find time to go there while a lot of Filipino’s
aren’t aware that these little heaven exists and as one local Cebuano admitted
that they didn’t even try to visit the island themselves.

DeleteIs it ok now to go in camotes island after the typhoon yolanda?
ReplyDeleteHi! I've contacted Kuya Edu and unfortunately he wasn't able to reply. I don't think it's okay to go now since the island was greatly affected by the typhoon too including Malapascua and Bantayan. To be sure, maybe you can contact tourism office in Cebu.
