| How To Get There |
Transportation
to and from Puerto Galera
Puerto Galera can only be reached via land routes from Manila to Batangas.
After completion of the so-called Sky Way near Manila and the partial
completion of the new highway from Tanuan to Lipa City the travel time
to Batangas has been considerably reduced. However a travel time to Batangas
Pier of two hours from Manila has to be counted with.
From Batangas there are several ferryboat services that can bring their passengers to Puerto Galera in one or two hours, depending on the choice of ferry.
Relatively
spoken a little more expensive, but without doubt are the Sikat and MV
Super 85 Ferry and Bus Services. They transport their passengers by bus,
coaster or van (depending on demand) directly to Batangas Pier, where
the ferries can be boarded almost immediately. Since there are no stop-overs
and no waiting time for the ferryboats, they are definately the fastest
and the most conenient way to get to and from Puerto GaleraSikat Bus and
