*Roro* ferries are probably one of the most efficient and economical ways of getting around the
major destinations throughout the Philippines.

I've never got on a roro ride before but based on what i've heard, apart from the long hours of waiting...
It's surprisingly an enjoyable ride, while on board, you can even alight and had a glimpse of the view and the sea.

*Roro - means roll-on and roll-off, wheeled cargo gets on and off the ferry by a giant platform that also serves as the ferries main door.

  1. I'm really grateful with this ro-ro. It's been a big help on our local travels. There are more rooms for improvement though but I think, we're getting there:)

  3. We came from Wales to Ireland in 1990 on a RO-RO. The comfort depends on the weather, I think!

    On behalf of the Team, thanks for your post.

  4. Ferries of all kinds keep the wheels moving. Not unlike our archipelago.
