Updated bus schedule from Davao to Tacloban / Tacloban to Davao via Bachelor Express.
While Davao City and Tacloban City aren’t too far apart geographically, there are currently no direct flights connecting the two destinations. This means you’ll have to choose between two main options for your trip: connecting flights or land travel.
For travelers seeking a faster option, connecting flights are available. These flights typically route through Cebu or Manila, adding travel time but potentially offering more convenience.
However, the most popular choice for Davao-Tacloban travel is by land. This is thanks to the frequent bus departures offered by companies like Bachelor Express. Buses run daily in both directions, making it a budget-friendly and readily available option. The downside is that the journey can take up to 15 hours, so be prepared for a longer travel time compared to flying.
