PUERTO GALERA PHILIPPINES 2023 TOUR | Travelling from Batangas Port to Puerto Galera White Beach, Oriental Mindoro

Join us as we explore Puerto Galera - one of 3 places in the Philippines recognized by UNESCO as a "Man and Biosphere Reserve" in 1973. Puerto Galera is located in the Mindoro Islands and its famous for its beautiful white sand beaches and popular dive sites. It's also a favourite weekend beach destination because it is more accessible from Metro Manila.

How to get to Puerto Galera from Metro Manila...

If you are commuting, take a bus from Cubao, Quezon City or Pasay City bound for Batangas City Terminal Port or Batangas City Pier. (We took a bus in Cubao - Fare is 298 Pesos)
Travel time is around three hours.

Once you've reached Batangas Pier. Proceed to the Passenger Terminal to purchase your ticket.
There are 2 ferry operators to get your tickets (Montenegro Lines or Island Water). Also, you can choose between the RoRo Ship or Fastcraft. We were told the fastcraft is faster with only 50 minutes travel time but based on experience, it took around 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach Puerto Galera. Perhaps this depends on the weather conditions.
