If one would condense my growth as a beach chaser into the life span of a butterfly, Puerto Galera would be somewhere in the caterpillar stage. back when I was not yet capable of flying, when Boracay, Palawan and the Maldives filled my flights of fancy, I had my eyes on places that was a little bit much more realistic. First, I wanted to just hit the beach, a nearby beach, any beach. Then, I wanted to go farther, ride a boat, and set foot in an island. I always had a destination in mind — Puerto Galera.

UNDERSTANDING PUERTO GALERA
Even before the colonial era, Puerto Galera has always been a busy port area because it is a good natural shelter for ships and boats. In 1570, the Spaniards arrived in Batangas and later crossed the Verde Island passage to this coastal settlement. They named it Puerto Galera or Port of Galleons.

Today, Puerto Galera is a first class municipality in Oriental Mindoro, about 130 km south of Manila. Although occupying the northernmost suggestion of another island (Mindoro Island), it can be easily reached from Luzon. This accessibility from the capital and CALABARZON, the country’s many populous region, made it one of the most popular beach destination for decades.
Puerto Galera faces the Verde Island Passage, which is described by a 2007 Smithsonian Institute study as the “center of the center” of the world’s marine biodiversity citing the high concentration of marine species. In 1973, it was declared a UNESCO man and Biosphere Reserve.

WHERE TO stay IN PUERTO GALERA
Puerto Galera’s jagged coastline is hemmed by over a dozen fair-sand-filled coves. Of all these beaches, these three are the most optimal places to stay for tourists:
Weißer Strand. Puerto Galera’s many popular beach. This is Galera’s answer to Boracay’s White Beach. (And yep, they bear the same name.) This is where many of the tourism action happens. You’ll find a broad range of lodging and dining options here. Nightlife is also here.
Aninuan Beach. located just next to White beach but this is much much more tamed and quiet. This is a good place to stay if you’re after a much more unwinding stay but want easy access to White Beach.
Sabang Beach. A little bit detached from the first two coves, but it also harbors lots of accommodations. This is a terrific base for divers because of the number of dive resorts.

HOW TO get TO PUERTO GALERA
The most affordable and many typical way to reach Puerto Galera from Manila is through Batangas. From Batangas Pier, you will need to catch a ferry to either of the two ports in Puerto Galera. Balatero Port is closer to White beach and Aninuan Beach, while Muelle Port is closer to Sabang.
Head to a JAM liner bus terminal. There’s one in Cubao and another in LRT Buendia area.
Catch a bus bound for Batangas Pier. Some buses pass through and make several stops in Sto. Tomas and Tanauan. If you want a quick journey, board a bus with the CALABARZON sign. This implies that the bus will be taking the star Tollway, which bypasses many towns and cities betweenSLEX and Batangas City. travel time is 2-3 hours. Fare is P197 if you’re coming from Buendia or P207 from Cubao. See bus schedule in the next section below.
Get off at Batangas Pier. You can also tell the conductor that you plan to go to Puerto Galera so he knows where to drop you off.
Upon arrival at Batangas Pier, head straight to the ticket counters. You may be approached by touts saying that there are no public ferries to Puerto Galera that day. DON’T believe THEM. They’re just trying to get you to charter an expensive private boat. walk straight to the ticketing counters.
Purchase tickets to Puerto Galera. You may choose a roro or a fastcraft. You can find the schedule as of April 2019 here. Fare: P300.
Pay the Batangas Pier terminal fee. P30 per person.
Board your booked ferry. travel time: 55-100 minutes, depending on the type of vessel.
At Balatero or Muelle Port, pay the environmental fee. P50 per person. Balatero Pier also collects an additional P20 terminal fee.
Ride a tricycle to your resort. If your resort is within short distance, fare is P200 per trip or P50 per person (if you’re a group).
MANILA TO BATANGAS BUS SCHEDULE
Here’s the schedule of Jam liner buses as of may 2019.
BATANGAS PIER TO PUERTO GALERA SCHEDULE
You can board a roro, a semi-fastcraft, or a fastcraft to Muelle Port or Balatero Port.
There used to be outrigger boats that carry passengers straight to White beach or Sabang Beach. but during our last trip to Puerto Galera, we didn’t see any outrigger boats to Puerto Galera. The Maritime industry Authority (MARINA) had plans of phasing out wooden-hulled boats last year, but I’m not sure if they have implemented this already.
For the schedule of authorized ferries, you may refer to this: BATANGAS-PUERTO GALERA TIMETABLE.
HOW TO get around PUERTO GALERA
By Tricycle
The jeepney is the most affordable mode of transportation in Puerto Galera. However, as in any other place in the country, jeepneys follow a fixed route and tentative schedules. If you want better control of your time, the tricycle is better.
For short distances, many tricycle chauffeurs charge P150-200 per ride (good for 3 pax). If you’re a group, that’s fine, but it’s a pain on the pockets if you’re traveling solo. A pal said that this is the traveler rate and that it is much lower for locals. I don’t know what the local rate is. However, for budgeting purposes, you can assume that it’s P200 per trip so you won’t go under.
You can also charter a tricycle to take you on a trip and see inland attractions like Tamaraw Falls, Virgin Beach, Mangyan Village, Infinity farm and others for P800 (good for 3 pax).
Mit dem Motorrad
If you have a driver’s license and you know how to drive a motorcycle, you can rent one and explore the town freely on your own. rates vary depending on the type of motorcycle and the shop, but the conventional rate is P400 per day.
If you choose to travel on two wheels, take extra care. always wear a helmet even if numerous of the locals you see don’t.
Mit dem Schiff
To get to some islands and other coves, chartering a boat is the way to go. here are the boat rates for trips from Muelle Port as of may 2019. A boat can typically accommodate up to 6 pax.
