How to get there:

Through Jeepney and Trisikad

You need to ride a jeepney going to Opon Terminal - at the Terminal transfer to a multicab going to Cordova and inform the driver to drop you off at the Crossing of Cordova. While at the Crossing you can see "trisikads" bound for Day-as Port. Fare per person is P10.

Through Taxis 

If you are from Manila and start your journey from the airport, you can ask the taxis to transport you to the floating restaurant. Approximate taxi fare from airport to Day-as Port Cordova is P250-P300. If you are from the City of Cebu, approximate fare is P350 – P400. 

If you have plans of going there on a late schedule, it is best to bring your own transportation since no taxis are available during the evening and the restaurant's location is quiet far from the main road.
