Private pick-up

• If you like we can arrange to have you or your group met at Manila airport. We’ll pick you up by private air-con van for a leisurely 3-hour drive to the Batangas Pier. Once there we’ll have a boat waiting for you for a pleasant 1.5-hour trip directly to South Sea Divers on Sabang Beach. This service is available anytime day or night - so you don’t necessarily have to spend a night in Manila. The total cost for the service is only $ 120.00 for up to 6 people. Definitely the easy way to do it!!!

Tourist Class Transportation

• Recommended  is the SiKAT bus and ferry service. It departs every morning at 8:00am from the City State Tower Hotel, 135A. Mabini Street in Ermita, Manila. This service costs US$ 16.00. Their telephone number is 02-400-7351.

• I don’t really recommend taking public buses to the Batangas Pier, however if you do go by bus, private car or taxi make sure you get to Terminal 3 of the Batangas pier. This is where all the public ferries depart for Puerto Galera, Sabang Beach or nearby Balatero..
  
  
• There are almost hourly departures throughout the day from 8:30am until 5:00pm. A one-way fare is 250 pesos (about $5.50) for the 1.5 to 2-hour ride, depending on the boat.

NOTE: Do not be misled into hiring a private boat unless you arrive at the pier after 5:00pm. this can cost you up to 2500 pesos (us$ 50.00)!
