Philippines May 2019

Days 4/5/6/7 – Manila to Kawayan Cove to Puerto Galera

We’ve been experiencing pretty sketchy internet so I’ve been building up a few days worth of writing. We’ve been promised that it will get better, when it does you��ll be reading this!

Saturday evening (of day 3) we were visited in Manila by our friends Noel and Michelle Tanada (more on them later), and did some catching up over a few too many drinks until the wee hours. We didn’t quite get the early start on our drive to Kawayan Cove we’d intended, but managed to crawl out of bed and get going by late morning. Once there we checked into our AirBnB condo then headed right over to take a look at the house. Good progress but it’s entering the phase where you have to look a bit harder to see it – when you go from no walls to walls it’s obvious and dramatic, but now we’re starting into the finishing work. The major difference is the roof – we have the corrugated aluminum panels up with the insulation underneath. Over here, the aluminum takes the place of roofing felt – it’s the real waterproofing component. The concrete shingles will be installed over that, possibly in the next week. In addition to the roof, the plumbing and electrical are both roughed in.

I’ve often said that construction over here is all “steel and concrete” but there is actually some wood in our home. The soffits (under the roof eaves) and ceiling of the open entry patio will be mahogany tongue and groove. I was expecting that but hadn’t thought about the framing holding it up which it turns out is also mahogany. I guess it’s probably less expensive over here than other woods, plus it’s very resistant to the heat and humidity.

Monday was national election day in the Philippines. A lot of local elections plus half the Senate was up for grabs. One thing they do here is ban all alcohol sales the day before and day of an election (don’t worry about us, we’d stocked up before the ban took effect). This brings up an interesting question – if we had this in the US, would we have elected Trump if we were all sober?

While we weren’t looking, Habagat happened. Habagat is the annual shifting of the trade winds, an actual 180 degree shift from offshore to onshore winds (here on the west coast at least) that happens literally overnight. Habagat portends the coming of the rainy season in the Philippines and usually begins in the May-June timeframe, lasting until November-December. The effect at Kawayan Cove is that the ocean swell is now coming into the cove, bringing actual waves to the beach. Not enough for surfing, the shore break is about 1 foot high at best, but it’s not the placid cove it is during Amihan which is the other part of the year with its gentler east-to-west winds. The undesirable effect is that these winds blow more trash from the ocean into the cove. The staff here does a good job keeping our beach clean, but while I was snorkeling in the cove I collected about 20 pounds of plastic bags, cups, wrappers, and one paint can from the water, just making a small dent in the overall amount. The picture below is of an adjacent beach without the Kawayan Cove staff to clean it up. Refer to previous rants about plastics in the ocean…

Speaking of junk in the ocean, our previously mentioned friends Noel and Michelle drove down to visit us on Monday at Kawayan Cove. Our condo was 2-bedroom so they had a place to spend the night. Though we’ve known them for a long time we’ve just learned about their involvement with an ocean conservation group (www.coralmovement.org) of which Michelle has become president. The group’s primary efforts are to restore coral reefs with innovative re-planting methods which seem to be very effective. Reef restoration is just one aspect of the whole ocean conservation thing, equally important are education, shoreline cleanup and rehabilitation, control of pollution and waste, as well as many others. We spent a lot of time talking about their group’s efforts, leaving us with an option to join them, as it fits well with our intentions to get involved with conservation work over here.

Tuesday (day 6) is for going to a new island, for both Georgia and me. Mindoro is the pretty large island directly south of Luzon (where Manila and Kawayan Cove are located). Close enough to be reached by ferry, we decided to take our first “road trip” and drive to Batangas City where we could load the car onto a RORO (a Philippines auto ferry, ‘RORO’ is slang for “Roll On, Roll Off”) and sail to the port of Puerto Galera, Mindoro.

We decided to take the 3:00 ferry and got to Batangas port by 1:00 as we were advised get there a couple hours early. We went through various inspections of car and contents and were then instructed to drive to “line 15” to wait for the ferry. We found the appropriate line and waited, and waited… until a little after 3:00 we asked an official-looking type who was walking around when the ferry would actually leave. 6:00 he said! We never got any explanation at all about what happened to the 3:00 ferry. Was it full? Did it get cancelled? Did the boat sink? We’ll never know. Anyway we finally loaded onto the ferry about 5:30 and it set sail for the 2-hour voyage a little after 6. After a quick off-loading process we reached our hotel around 8:30, pretty starving as we’d only had an early lunch while on the road. Couldn’t see much of the place as it was dark but all we really wanted to see was the restaurant which thankfully was still open.

Today we finally saw where we’re staying, a very nice place right on the water in a quiet mangrove-lined inlet between Puerto Galera and Sabang. Not many impressive beaches in this part of Mindoro, which is mostly known for it’s world-class scuba diving. What beaches they have are lined with dive shops and bars, and are said host a pretty active party scene. Those rowdy scuba divers, what can you do… join them maybe? This afternoon we met with Ms. Rose, the PADI dive instructor here at the resort, who will be our teacher for the next few days, as we (hopefully) will earn at least the “Scuba Diver” certification and possibly have time for the next level up, “Open Water Diver”. Stay tuned!

Ang aking Paglalakbay sa Puerto Galera ni Sean Malang

Apat na taon ang makalipas at isa ito sa mga hindi ko malilimutan na destinasyon na aming pinuntahan. Ibabahagi ko sa inyo ang aking storya ng paglalagbay sa Puerto Galera at kung ano-anong mga aktibidad ang mga ginawa namin roon tulad ng snorkling, island hopping, at iba pa. Ang Puerto Galera ay matatagpuan sa isang bayan ng isla ng Mindoro sa Pilipinas. Ito ay kilala sa mga dive site at beach nito. Isa na rito ang mahabang curve ng White Beach na sinusuportahan ng mga bar at resort at sa hilagang silangan, ang tubig sa labas ng Sabang Beach ay puno ng buhay at coral na dagat. Sa aming paglalakbay kasama ang aking pamilya ay sumakay kami ng bus papuntang Batangas Bay upang sumakay ng bangka papuntang Puerto Galera at nakarating kami sa aming destinasyon makatapos ng anim na oras, katapos nito ay dumiretso kaagad kami sa aming hotel na pagtutulugan at ibinaba ang aming mga kagamitan.  Kumain naman kami katapos ng pananghalian katapos ay na nagpahinga at pumunta kami sa White Beach na kung saan napakaganda rito at malinis, katapos naman nito ay nag island hopping kami. Madami kaming nagawa dito, at isa na rito ang snorkling na kung saan ay lulubog ka sa beach upang makita ang kagandahan ng nasa ilalim ng dagat at pumunta kami sa Coral Garden para pakisamahang lumangoy ang mga iba’t ibang magagandang coral at isda. Katapos naman nito ay pumunta kami sa Paniquian Island na kung saan isang tahimik na isla na kung saan magpahinga at magsaya kasama ang pamilya. Habang naglalakbay ay nakilala namin ang nagmamaneho ng bangka na kung saan anim na taon na din niyang ginagawa pang hanap buhay. Katapos ang unang araw ay kinabukasan umuwi na kami sa Maynila. Napakasaya ng aming paglalakbay lalo’t na dun sa taong aming nakilala na nagmamaneho ng bangka na kung saan pinaramdam na din namin sakanya na maituturing kaming kaibigan na kung saan kinilala namin siya at binigyan ng mga pagkain aming dala sa paglalakbay. Nakapagpahinga kami katapos ng akademikong gawain at nagkaroon kami ng bonding kasama ang aking pamilya. Dito ko napagtanto na ganito pala kaganda ang mga lugar sa mga Pilipinas at yung mga taong makikilala mo dun ay hindi ka hahayaang “ma left-over” at ituturing ka nilang taga doon din. Dito nagtatapos ang aking paglalakbay sa kagandahang lugar ng Puerto Galera.

The other side of Puerto Galera 8 OUT OF 10 TARGET TRAVEL DESTINATIONS FOR 2017!!! I AM TOO CLOSE FOR MY GOAL HOORAY!!! I'M GOING BEYOND 10 LOL! Puerto Galera is one of the most popular tourist destinations here in the Philippines, but when they think of "Puerto Galera", the first thing that comes to their mind is either 'White Beach' or 'Sabang Beach'. These are the most common part of Galera, but little did you know there is a hidden gem on the other side. If you're into fun activities especially at night, or a family-friendly beach, go to White Beach or Sabang beach. (But if you're more into beach party, choose White Beach). If you're into diving, Go to Muelle Beach. But, if you are more into nature, and really doesn't want an uncrowded beach, like, you want a peace of mind and more on relaxation.... (Like me) TALIPANAN BEACH, ANINUAN, PUERTO GALERA is perfect for YOU! The water is a little bit colder than the usual because the water from Aninuan Falls (roughly a 20 min walk from talipanan) is going through the beach where we stayed at. The water is crystal clear, you can definitely swim with the fishes and it's really a wonderful experience! But I highly suggest that you must have an aqua shoes because the beach is rocky, and you might stepped on the corals, so that you can also avoid being hurt. The sand is fine white but it's really rocky along the beach. It's a really beautiful place. You definitely wouldn't want to miss bringing your snorkling gears, you don't actually need to rent a boat just to see the corals, because the corals and the fishes is just near the shore. It's not a family friendly beach because the water is high. Be extra careful. We stayed at Sunny Beach Resort, the staffs is really accomodating and they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is ranging from 250-500php per dish. We didn't bring anything so we have no choice to eat at their restaurant. The acommodation is not that expensive, we booked an airconditioned room for just 1,500 PHP per night with free breakfast. They serve a really good food, you won't regret it even though its quite expensive. The room is so nice and clean as well, their bathroom has hot water. It's a really really good hotel. I would rate it 5 STARS. The place is so beautiful and breathtaking I swear, there's alot of hotels that you can choose from along Talipanan, but it ranges from 1,500PHP and up. I must say, the accommodation in Talipanan is more expensive than the white or sabang beach. When we went there, it's like we owned the whole place. Especially we went off-peak, eventhough it's peak season, that part of Galera is not that crowded. HOW TO GET THERE: We rode a bus (JAM Liner) at Cubao going to Batangas Port around 4 AM, the fare is 175PHP, when we reached the Port, we went straight to the ticket booth, the ferry line we took is Father & Sons that will cost you 600 PHP each (Round Trip) going to Muelle Port, then pay the terminal fee of 30 PHP per head. It's a 2 and a half ferry ride. When we got to Muelle Port, there's a free shuttle when you get there and will give you a ride straight to the hotel where you are going to stay at. But you need to pay the environmental fee of 50 PHP. For going home, the shuttle will pick you up at the hotel you just have to text them any time of your choice. If you're thinking to bring some foods, you may do that but take note, it will be really inconvenient for you and besides, there's no grill and such at Talipanan. But there are sari-sari stores / carinderia / eatery outside Talipanan, BUT it's a 15-minute walk. So that's it! I hope I gave you another idea! If you have further question about this Place, feel free to ask me! Next stop: I'm thinking about going to Romblon :)

The Beauty of Puerto Galera

By Kirsten T. Mahilum

Puerto Galera, or Port of Galleons in English, was a convenient place for sheltering ships against bad weather during the ancient era. It is where the Chinese traded their goods with the people here. With its still deep-secured bay and harbors, it still remained its purpose in sheltering ships. It is a municipality that is located in Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. It was once dubbed as "One of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World," and it doesn't lie. Because, forest-clad mountains surround the crashing waves of the sea, while the powdery white beaches have many coconut trees which are surrounded by the clear mix of azure and seafoam green sea. It is also surrounded by beautiful faunas, majestic waterfalls, flowing rivers and streams, picturesque sceneries, and more.

The town has approximately 42 kilometers of coastline and a diverse underwater ecosystem that serves as home to a variety of marine species. No wonder UNESCO recognized Puerto Galera as a Man and Biosphere Reserve in 1973 and became one of the most sought-after best diving spots in the world.

Three to four hours is the estimated time interval in land and sea travelling from Metro Manila to Puerto Galera. First, you need to ride a bus. There are several terminals to choose from: Cubao, Sampaloc, Buendia, and Alabang going to Batangas Port which is the jump-off point. In Batangas Port, there are ferries and ro-ros that you should catch if you want to go to Muelle or Balatero. You can catch it from 5am to 7pm. Jeeps and tricycles are basic modes of transportation. The minimum regular fare is 8 pesos for jeep and 10 pesos for tricycle.

And at last! You’re in Puerto Galera already. You can now visit the beautiful destinations of my dear province. The first must-visit place that I recommend to you is the Tamaraw Falls(it got its name from the species of buffalo called Tamaraw which is common in Mindoro. It is one of the most majestic waterfalls that you will ever see. It stands at 423 feet and is as tall as a 5-storey-building. Because of the twin falls merging together, you will notice the unique Y-shaped dropping waters. You don’t have to hike or trek if you want to see the beauty of our beloved waterfalls, you can already see it on the highway. But, if you want to see it up-close, you have to pay for the entrance fee which is 30 pesos for adults and 15 pesos for children. 

After that, you can visit the pride of our province, the White Beach in Isidro which is known for its powdery white sand. Numerous hotels and lodges can be found here where you can stay for as long as you want. There are also other white beaches aside from that, there’s the Bayanan Beach, Long Beach, Coco Beach, Buri Beach, and many more. If you’re interested in diving, you can go to our lovely diving sites. Some of the most popular diving destinations are Hole in The Wall, Japanese Wreck and Sabang Wrecks. You can also do hiking and trekking in the mountains like Mount Malasimbo. 

Of course, the tour is not complete if you don’t get to eat in their famous restaurants like Luca Cucia Italiana, Resto Veranda, Ciao Italia Pizzerias, Hemingway Bistro, Relax Restaurant, and more. 

You can do everything in Puerto Galera. Swim, dive, eat, take good pictures, and have an enjoyable time. So, I suggest you visit Puerto Galera immediately after the pandemic. I assure you that you’ll never regret it and you’ll remember it for the rest of your life. With all the picturesque sceneries surrounding you, you’ll forget all the bad things that happened to you for a while. So, c’mon in Puerto Galera.

PG岛路线已备好：穷游必备省心不费力土豪专属

PG岛路线已备好：穷游必备省心不费力土豪专属

发表时间:半天前 作者:博牛用户 更多文章

方案一，穷游必备

路线：打车到大巴出发站，从马尼拉大巴到八打雁码头，转渡船到Sabang。

A:去往大巴站，从机场往大巴车站（约30min）

从马尼拉机场出来前往市区内最近的Jac Liner或者JamLiner Terminal或者DLTB Liner（三家大巴车站都在同一区域，相隔不超过100米），可以选择的出租车比较多，有黄色、有白色。

*大部分菲律宾市区的出租车都不找零（机场黄色出租车除外），比如说80p就付100p、160p就付200p，当是付小费，这是很正常的现象。

PS：如果拥有谷歌账号，可以下载一个叫做Grab的打车软件，相当于菲律宾的滴滴打车，价钱没有Uber高还不会被外面的出租者司机宰客，付钱的时候��可以选择付现，超便利~

B:乘坐大巴车从马尼拉前往Batangas（八打雁）码头（约2h）

马尼拉前往Batangas码头有数家公共汽车公司在经营这个路线，收费都不到200p。

分别是JAC、JAM、DLTB、GOLDSTAR，24小时运营，每40分钟一班车。

所有的大巴车都是问清楚哪个车是去“Batangas Port”；开车以后售票员会先走一圈帮每伴乘客打车票；然后再走第二圈收车费。

PS：这里坐的大巴车空调都开的特别足，要坐的话最好随身带件衣服，毕竟两个小时并不短呢。

C:乘坐交通船从Batangas码头往 Sabang码头（约2h）

到达Batangas码头，大巴车会在一个停车场下客。一下车，你就会被许多菲律宾人围绕问你是不是去Sabang?White Beach?

这个时候请一定要明确Say "NO"拒绝他们，顺着人流前往交通船售票厅，不要让他们碰你的任何行李，不然他们会抢着帮你提行李，以从你这里赚取小费。

沿着这条线路走到售票地点，可以看到有两家船公司在经营Batangas（八打雁）码头和 Sabang码头来往的公共交通船 。

买票：在这两个售票窗口可以自行买票，在Batangas（八打雁）码头只需要购买船票和码头费两样，两家船公司价钱一样都是230p/人，买票时候请注意要买前往SABANG的船票，MUELLE是前往Puerto Galera镇码头的。

Batangas（八打雁）的码头费则是在另外一个窗口买E-ticket，只需要30p。PG岛的EUF环境保护费50p是下船后再付。

简单来说，在Batangas（八打雁）码头只需要支付一共260p/人就可以上船了。

如果来不及坐16:00前往Sabang码头的交通船，可以改坐17:00前往Puerto Galera（MUELLE）的交通船，或者最晚18:30前往Puerto Galera（MUELLE）的大型渡轮，再换乘20分钟摩托车前往sabang（约100p/人）。

方案二：省心不费力

路线：大巴到八打雁码头，转渡船到Sabang

买车船联运的套票，每天早上8点半从市中心酒店CITYSTATE TOWER HOTEL门口出发，同样也是大巴到八打雁转渡轮。

或者跟潜店或住宿地联系预订车船，凑上几个人包车包船。

包车包船和车船联运是最直接的，不用面对转乘时极度热情的当地人，也不用面对自己去sabang海滩的繁琐交通攻略。

车船联运时间表：

8:30am 马尼拉往 PG

站点：City State Tower, Mabini St., Ermita, Manila

8:45am Sabang 往马尼拉

站点：Sabang 码头、PuertoGalera（MUELLE）码头

（建议提前半个小时去哦）

Si-Kat公司的车船联运的方式要比自己坐公共大巴转公共船的运费用约高一倍（800比索单程），而且每天只有一班，如果有好几个人一起同行，不妨考虑包车包船从机场直接去到Sabang码头。

方案三：土豪专属

当然，喝酸奶不舔酸奶盖的壕们注意啦！

有钱任性，还可以选择乘坐水上飞机往返马尼拉及PG岛。只需要30分钟即可到达PG或者马尼拉，方便又省事。

费用是每人大约5500比索一程，含有33kg的免费行李。

飞机在马尼拉停靠马尼拉湾manila bay（Mall Of Asia附近），在PG岛停靠的站是PuertoGalera内湾的固定水飞码头，提供接送到Sabang海滩（收费300P）。

这个水上飞机就像咱们平时坐的飞机一样，都是需要提前预订的，每天至少有一趟。

Weekend beach fix: Puerto Galera

I had quite a busy week with work and art festivals everywhere in the metro. So to get my energy back and ease my sickness from the hustle and bustle of Manila, I gave myself a quick beach fix.

This time, the sun is finally out!

For the weekend, I chose Puerto Galera. This is my 4th time here and I’m not too much of a fan if compared to other beaches around the country. But there’s a music event happening and I thought I should check it out (It’s actually because my crush is performing. lol). It’s just an easy 4-hour travel from Manila anyway.

A panoramic shot of the more secluded area of White Beach

Puerto Galera is one of the towns of Mindoro and is easily accessible by ferries from Batangas Port. The ferry ride takes 1 hour to 1 hour and 30-minutes.

Before heading to my hotel, I strolled a little at Sabang Beach and had lunch at the infamous Papa Fred’s Steakhouse. Then I talked to a local to take me to Aninuan Beach by motorbike, so yay (yeah i love motorbike rides)!

I was a little tired by the time I got to my hotel, but the view is really lovely from my room, and right then I knew that I made the right decision.

This is the view straight from my room. All worth it, I know.

I spent most afternoon appreciating the beach, lying on the sand, and chatting while drinking beer. And the most relaxing thing and my personal favourite of course: massage by the beach!

Beer and conversations

More night stroll, drinks, and chit chat. It was the second day of the music event and the artist I was looking forward to wasn’t playing that night (too bad), but I just enjoyed the rest of the night – the venue was close to my hotel anyway.

The next morning, I woke up at 6 to run a little at the shore while enjoying my iPod’s music, but it rained a little so I decided to just have my early morning healthy heavy  breakfast.

Yes, that’s bacon, egg, and fried rice

Luckily, it was sunny by 9 in the morning, so I had my chance to swim, tan, and take vainy photos of myself (because why not. lol).

I am not that tan – I wish I am. It was maybe the lighting cos it was raining.

I actually planned to do a little trek to a waterfalls nearby, but the sea is so inviting that I just decided to have a laid back Sunday morning before heading back to Manila (unfortunately, it has to happen).

Well, that’s it for this weekend’s beach fix. Sea you soon!

Nice and Cozy at White Beach Resort in Puerto Galera

Nice and Cozy at White Beach Resort in Puerto Galera

When you find yourself going back to a certain person or object to fuel your interest, it most likely means that you will reciprocate the same. That’s what happened when I came upon the friendly lady manning the White Beach Resort Puerto Galera booth at the Batangas Pier during my impromptu visit to Puerto Galera.

A sunny day on White Beach Resort

I did not know much about this famous beach in Oriental Mindoro, so I approached the White Beach Resort booth for information, while the lady tried to sell me their room at 1,200 php instead of their published rate of 1,500 php.

I declined her kind offer as I was thinking of finding a nice room there at White Beach itself once we arrived. Yet, as more questions popped in my mind, the more I returned to that lady for more assistance.

When the time came for us to exit the gate and go to the boat, I went back to the White Beach Resort lady and asked if she could give me the room at a lower price. She eventually agreed and our accommodation became finally secured.

Soon after, we were on a big pump boat crossing the channel from Batangas to the Northwestern side of Oriental Mindoro in the midst of a dynamic seascape of islands changing from bustling coasts to a sinewy island lushly coated with tropical bounties, subdued by the dimming sunset sky.

Laid back Puerto Galera White Beach

A couple of hours later we were at Muelle port in Puerto Galera hailing a tricycle that would take us to the famous White Beach.

Relieved about a room being ready for us on White Beach, we traversed along the darkened road until a brightly lit road opened for us, signifying that we were already at our destination.

[Click here to search for discounted hotels and resorts in Puerto Galera]

The tricycle driver took us to White Beach Lodge, assuming that it was the same as White Beach Resort. Though by mistake, we got to walk a bit more than a hundred meters along the beach, passing a White Beach Hotel and finally seeing the sign of the much anticipated White Beach Resort.

Neat and comfy rooms for the family at White Beach Resort

The resort’s open-air restaurant fronting the sea was packed with guests dining over the coast’s flavourful fresh sea catches, whereby a lady who was receiving payments from guests was also in charge of the room reservations.

A nice lady then led us to the resort’s four-storey building and assisted us into our room on the second floor.

The room was simple, spacious and neat; an air-conditioned room with a single bed, a queen-sized bed and a private bathroom, plus clean towels and toiletries that were set to fulfill our basic comfort.

We went to the beach as soon as we got ready and watched Luna play with the sand and the water. We ordered Grilled Chicken with rice from the restaurant and brought it to the beach to let Luna eat her dinner while playing in the breakwater.

Much later, we were back inside the comfort of our room, dozing off blissfully on our bed’s cushy mattress and clean beddings.

We woke up early the next day to have fun in the sun. Whilst beyond a few steps from our bedroom, we were back on the beach, searching for pink-colored pebbles and swimming in the sea.

We basked under the sun until right before noon in order to fix our things for our impending departure.

The multi-tasking staff in the resort’s restaurant later called a tricycle for us that would take us to Calapan terminal, which cost was 150php.

菲律宾有这么多岛屿，到底应该如何选择？

菲律宾有这么多岛屿，到底应该如何选择？

发表时间:7小时前 作者:博牛用户 更多文章

喜欢一切热带岛屿，除了需要每日勤奋的涂抹防晒以外，当纵身一跃往水里扎，在水里扑腾撒欢的时候，简直觉得海边就是夏天最理想的生活环境。来到菲律宾的任何一个海边都可以看到皮肤黝黑的孩子们在水里尽情撒欢，这个国家偶尔政治纷乱外，绝大多数的岛屿都保有淳朴的气息，岛民们恣意生活，一派乐天诠释着简单的幸福。

可当你走入某个岛屿，又会觉得自己是闯入者，唯一可以做到的是在不打扰的情况下融入他们的日常，和他们真诚的交谈聊天，在感受岛屿独有的静谧的时候，它是我的远方，也是我的避风港。

菲律宾的岛屿各有千秋，玩法不同，但是岛与岛之间的交通几乎只能靠船，而船次非常容易受天气影响停运或者变更，所以如果是准备到2-3个以上的岛屿，一定需要先查询好船次预留好充足的时间 ，或者准备计划B，以便行程变更影响出游心情。

交通国内可直飞马尼拉的城市国内可直飞宿务的城市从国内直飞的话，可以飞到马尼拉或宿务，宿务航空提供北京、上海、厦门、广州4个城市直飞马尼拉的航线，亚洲航空、菲律宾航空、东方航空、国航、南方航空也有提供部分城市直飞马尼拉的航线，部分开发较成熟的岛屿，比如长滩岛、国内也有包机航线，也可以从泰国、马来等东南亚国家前往菲律宾的部分岛屿，总之在交通上还是相对方便的，特别是珠三角一带，逢航空公司促销，可以买到9元直飞马尼拉的航班，可以说是非常良心了。

马尼拉作为国家首都，马尼拉有人喜欢，有人反感，从安全性考虑，最好有同伴一起前往。如果你和我一样也是国内航班直飞马尼拉，可以选择在机场短暂停留后，从马尼拉直接转机前往各岛，比较节省时间。

马尼拉机场有T3和T4航站楼，在马尼拉转机时，如果是不同航站楼，请注意预留充足的转机时间，T3航站楼相对完善一些，出机场就有很多的售卡和货币兑换服务，货币兑换每家的汇率有相差，记得多做比较，通过国内换美元，到境外兑换成当地币的方式，应该是汇率上最划算的一种换汇方式了。

如果想直接通过银行卡取现的方式的话，建议先了解清楚每个卡种的取现手续费，比如现在的华夏银行借记卡，已经从原来的取现免费变成了：“普卡每月一笔取现免费，超出一笔按12元 /笔收取手续费”，可以选择一些比如：浦发银行包境外取现套餐、招行城市卡、微博卡、GQ等来进行境外取现。

推荐几个周边岛屿

一、PG岛（Puerto Galera）PG岛作为离马尼拉最近且潜水员最容易抵达的的岛已被潜水圈列为刷瓶目的地之一，一般在PG岛潜水都是��Sabang Beach海滩。

从马尼拉前往PG岛可以1、在机场打车前往Bus Terminal 坐车先到Batangas码头，然后坐船到Sabang Beach

2、在马尼拉的City State Tower Hotel大堂购买马尼拉前往Sabang Beach的车船联票

推荐点：PG岛是潜水员的天堂，这里能看到很多海底小生物，是练习中性浮力较好的一个地点，这里潜店多，价格相对低廉，如果来菲律宾时间不多，可以考虑就呆在这里，省去中转麻烦。二、长滩岛国内部分城市可直飞长滩，也可以在马尼拉转机至长滩，需要注意的是长滩有两个机场。

1、卡提克兰机场（Caticlan Airport，MPH）

2、卡里波机场（Kalibo Airport，KLO）

卡提克兰距离长滩岛较近，下飞机步行或乘三轮车即可到达码头乘船到达长滩岛。卡里波距离长滩岛较远，需乘巴士1小时左右到达卡提克兰码头，再乘船前往长滩岛。订购航班时，需明确从马尼拉到达哪一个机场。

推荐点：作为开发最早的一个岛屿，长滩有很多高级酒店，整体游玩很丰富，但是就潜水来说，海底破坏较严重，这里游人很多，如果你只是来看世界上排名前十的白沙滩也未尝不可，整体消费长滩算菲律宾大多数岛屿中较高的。

宿务

宿务位于菲律宾的南部，到达宿务后，你可以在这里前往周边各岛，不论是飞机还是坐船都还是相对方便，从机场打车到码头价格在200P左右，距离较近。

推荐几个周边岛屿

一、薄荷岛（BoholIsland）

从宿务前往薄荷的船每天都有很多，这里作为菲律宾第十大岛，也已经被国内旅行社和大多数国人熟悉，我本人不是特别喜欢薄荷，因为这边商业气息太浓重，物价也不低。

不过靠近本岛西部的海边却带来一些宁静的惊喜。

一般来薄荷的话出海可以看到野生海豚，也可以玩跳岛游，比如到处女岛、巴里卡萨岛浮潜，本岛的话可以参观全世界最小的眼镜猴(Tarsius Monkey)，还可以去看看菲律宾人引以为傲的朱古力山，原生态的蜜蜂农场，薄荷岛古老的教堂，热带雨林特色的罗伯河水上游，在夜晚坐着游船到热带雨林中看着满树的萤火虫闪耀。

薄荷的潜点情况：从宿务到薄荷塔比拉兰码头 、塔比拉兰到杜马盖地等地的船次如图：

二、杜马盖地（Dumaguete）

杜马盖地第一眼

杜马盖地是菲律宾最有名的潜水圣地，市区的住宿选择较多，不过离海边远，如果学习潜水可以考虑住道因海滩一带，杜马盖地本身可玩的不多，一般出海前往APO岛看海龟、海底火山或者到锡基霍尔游玩。这里的海底还是相对保持较好的环境，特别是Apo岛的海龟很多，软硬珊瑚生���完整茂盛。Apo的海龟

三 、锡基霍尔 (Siquijor)锡基霍尔是大多数人游玩过都会强烈推荐的一个岛，因为时间关系特别后悔没有去，从杜马盖世坐船过去非常方便，岛不大，可以租个摩托环岛游一天，这里有跳台，可以体会一把原始人跳海的乐趣，也有非常完美的沙滩，因为不被人熟知，这里还保有原生态让人珍惜，不过听说经常停电。

四、苏米龙（Sumilon）可以从奥斯洛布或者杜马盖地的码头前往这里，岛上只有一家酒店：sumilon bluewater island resort 所以被称为一岛一酒店，有雪白的圆沙滩，还有美丽的泻湖，酒店可在某宝预定，如果不住在这里也可以到度假村一日游，大约600P可享用酒店自行车、泳池、浮潜用品，因为独岛酒店可选性一般，比较适合情侣和亲子游。

五、奥斯洛布（Oslob）这里其实不是一个岛屿，单列是因为这里因为可以观看鲸鲨被越来越多人写进攻略里，在看完鲸鲨之后内心是很复杂的，一方面人工圈养让它们的生存能力越来越低，而且船只陆续的经过它们对它们的身体也造成了损害，另一方面如果能和鲸鲨有亲密接触应该是谁都不会拒绝的事情之一，所以如果你不赞同去看圈养的鲸鲨，我会推荐你到菲律宾的另外一个岛屿董索去看野生的鲸鲨，和真正的它们在海底畅游。

五、墨宝（Moalboal）墨宝的沙丁鱼风暴非常有名，也是很多潜水员的梦，从杜马盖地或者奥斯洛布前往都很方便，也可以安排在一个行程里。

六、妈妈拍丝瓜岛（MALAPASCUA）

总结一下菲律宾宿务一带的岛屿可以按需所选：Oslob看鲸鲨、Sumilon玩白沙滩、Siquijor感受原生态、Dumaguete玩潜水、Panglao感受商业化、Apo看海龟、Balicasag看大断层、Malapascua数星星。
