Wedding Day Transportation

Going to the Wedding Venue on November 8

Please make your way directly to the Divine Chapel before the ceremony begins. This will ensure that you are comfortably seated in time.

You can use local public transportation to go to Discovery Samal. The resorts we recommended in our “Where to Stay” guide are less than five minutes away from the wedding venue. Take note that the Grab app is not available in Samal Island. The primary mode of public transportation is tricycle.

Guests staying in hotels or Airbnb rentals in Davao City should head to the Discovery Samal Davao Welcome Center on the day of our wedding. We have arranged for a private boat transfer to take you to the venue.

Please arrive by 1:30 PM to board the catamaran, which departs at 2:00 PM. If you’d like to arrive earlier, Discovery Samal also offers trips at 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM.

You have two options to reach the venue:

🚗 By Car: Drive to Discovery Samal via the ferry service from Sasa Wharf. Since our wedding is on a Friday, we expect lighter traffic during midday. However, be sure to factor in potential traffic around Sasa before boarding the ferry. Once on Samal Island, Babak Wharf is approximately 5.6 kilometers from Discovery Samal, and the drive should take about ten minutes.

⛵ By Boat: Alternatively, you can drive or take a taxi to the Discovery Samal Davao Welcome Center to join other guests for the private boat transfer. There are parking spaces available at the Welcome Center. The boat ride to the resort takes less than ten minutes. Please arrive by 1:30 PM to board the catamaran, which departs at 2:00 PM. If you’d like to arrive earlier, Discovery Samal also offers boat trips at 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Check the maps below for directions and more details.

If you plan to take the catamaran from Discovery Samal, you can also use it for your return trip to Davao City after the wedding.

We’ve arranged a private boat transfer to take our guests back to the Discovery Samal Davao Welcome Center. Return trips are available at 7:00 PM, 9:00 PM, 10:30 PM, and 11:30 PM. Simply head to the resort lobby and inform them of your preferred departure time. Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before your chosen schedule.

Here’s a refined version: Additionally, we are considering a private boat charter after 11:30 PM, but the details have not been finalized yet. Please message the bride for updates on this option!
