ZAMBASULTA is a famous route that Filipinos follow when traveling around the Philippines. The 4 provinces of ZAMBASULTA includes Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi. And in order to complete this trip, you have to be aware of the Zamboanga port ferry schedules especially when going to Basilan and Sulu. Check out the updated schedules below!

A good rule of the thumb: make sure to purchase and reserve tickets at least a day before especially if you’re going to Sulu. Proceed to the Zamboanga Port and buy your tickets. The location of the ticket booth is just beside the gate of Zamboanga port.
