I’ve been to Puerto Galera many times. Just like any other traveler, if you’re looking for a beach and island getaway near Manila that includes land and sea travel, Puerto Galera is the top choice.
The first time, I traveled to Puerto Galera was when we booked in a beach resort near Muelle BayArea. That time we traveled via boat.
Boats are safe because they are huge and also comply with the authorities. But right now, there are more options going to Puerto Galera from Batangas port. You can go there via the fast craft which is the recommended one, or RORO.
