A popular method is to take a taxi or private car from Manila to Batangas, then a public banca to Sabang beach where we will meet and escort you directly to - Natural Born Divers. We can organize a car and driver to pick you up at your hotel or the airport. This is good option for singles or couples, and normally takes 3 to 4 hours depending on the banca schedules.
Typical cost is PHP3,300 (USD75) for the car, and PHP280-350 (including terminal fees) per person for the banca (boat).
Private Transit
Taking a private car and banca is the hassle free way to get to Puerto Galera and back, especially by two people or more where the costs may be shared. We will arrange to pick you up at your hotel or the airport in an air conditioned vehicle and drive you in comfort to Berberabe beach near Batangas where you will board a private banca for direct transfer to your villa. The car trip is normally about 2.5 hours from Manila to Berbreabe beach and the boat trip 1 hour across beautiful Verde Passage. Cost is PHP6,800 (USD150-160) one way, all inclusive, for up to 6 people.
