Hinunangan is on the eastern coast of Southern Leyte, accessible by road from Maasin City, the provincial capital, about 90 kilometres to the northwest.
Jeepneys and buses connect Hinunangan to Maasin City and to Sogod. The road is paved but winding through mountainous terrain, so journeys take longer than the distance suggests. There is no airport in Hinunangan; the nearest commercial airport is in Tacloban on the island of Leyte, several hours by road and ferry.
