The easiest way to reach Ormoc from elsewhere in the Philippines is by ferry from Cebu City. Several operators, including Lite Ferries and Cokaliong, run daily services; the fast craft takes around two hours while slower RORO ferries take four to five. The port is central and easy to find.
From Tacloban, the nearest city with an airport, Ormoc is about 70 kilometres south by road. Jeepneys and buses cover the route throughout the day; the journey takes two to three hours depending on the vehicle and the road. There is no commercial air service directly to Ormoc.
