Bus from Guayaquil

There is bus service to Biaha from Quito and other cities, but I can only supply first had knowledge of the bus between Guayaquil and Biaha. Two bus companies service this route.

Coctour runs buses about every hour. We departed from Guayaquil at 9 AM and arrived in Biaha at about 2 PM. This ordinary bus was full, and the driver stopped frequently to load or drop passengers. There was a lunch stop in Portoverta. The fare was US$ 6 per person

Reina del Camino runs three first class busses per day. We have reserved seats for a 2:30 PM departure next week. The bus appears to be airconditioned. The fare was US$ 7 per person.

Panga between Biaha and San Vincente

There is a passenger ferry between Biaha and San Vincente. A panga departs whenever there are 20 passengers, usually within 5 minutes. Many of these open launches (with sun and spray shields) are in operation continuously. In January, 2007, the fare was US $0.30. Passengers are issued life jackets for the 10 minute trip.

There is a larger ferry which transports trucks and automobiles and pedestrains. It departs twice an hour.

If you are traveling by bus along the Ecuatorian Coast, take the ferry from San Vicente to Bahia de Caraquez it will shorten your trip by a couple of hours.
