About Ann
Six generations on Bohol. Contacts right across the Philippines.
Ann's family has lived on Bohol for more than 200 years. There's no part of the island she doesn't know, and her network reaches far beyond it: boat crews, drivers, guides, hotels and fixers she has worked with for years, from Manila to Mindanao.
Wherever you're heading in the Philippines, Ann can pick up the phone to someone who can help.
When you book with Hop With Ann, you deal with her directly. Not a call centre, not a bot.

Beyond island hopping
Ann's network covers the whole of the Philippines. If it needs organising, moving or sorting out, ask.
Tell Ann your route, dates and group size, online, on WhatsApp or by email. She checks ferry times and drivers, sends a confirmed plan, and you pay a 50% deposit by secure payment link to lock it in. The rest is due before travel.
I don't use WhatsApp. Can I still book?
Yes. Use the email form on the Contact page, or the 'Email this plan' button in the planner. Ann replies by email within 24 hours.
How do I pay?
By card or bank transfer through a secure payment link that Ann sends once your trip is confirmed. See the How to pay page for a step-by-step guide.
How much will my trip cost?
Every trip is quoted for your group and dates. Send your plan and Ann replies with options, free travel tips for your route and a clear quote. Groups of 4 or more often pay less per person because cars and vans are priced per vehicle.
Does Ann book flights?
No. Ann arranges everything by land and sea: ferries, boats, vans, private drivers and airport pickups. You book your own flights, tell Ann the times, and she plans every transfer around them. Private jet or helicopter charters can be arranged through a trusted specialist.
How much notice does Ann need?
At least 7 days before your first travel date, so she can book ferries and drivers properly.
What if my ferry is cancelled because of bad weather?
You get a refund for that part of your trip, and you can contact Ann for the options. Missed ferries, or a missed or delayed taxi to the port, are not refunded, so allow plenty of time for traffic.
Do you handle groups?
Yes, groups are our speciality: families, dive clubs, weddings, schools and corporate events. Vans are sized for your group and luggage.
What do I need to enter the Philippines?
A passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date, proof of an onward or return flight, and the free eTravel registration within 72 hours before you land.
Is there a direct ferry from Siquijor to Camiguin?
No. You go via Tagbilaran and Jagna on Bohol. It takes 10 to 11 hours door to door and is only possible in one day on the earliest Siquijor boat.

“Ferry on time, driver waiting at the port, hotel drop-off sorted. Couldn't have been easier. Ann replied on WhatsApp within minutes when I had a question at 6am.”

★★★★★
Bohol → Siquijor → Cebu
“Three ferries, four taxis, five days. One booking. Zero stress. The Siquijor connection could have been a disaster — Ann had timed it perfectly with a 90-minute buffer.”
