Once at Tabangao Port, take the MB Super Mario that will
take you to two stops — first at Mahabang Buhangin,
then at Sampalukan. You will have to ride a small paddle
boat (P10) to the much bigger MB Super Mario (P120).
Alight at either Mahabang BUhangin where island
hopping boats and most homestays can be found or at
Sampalukan where most resorts are located.
Via Ilijan or Dela Paz Port (Private Boat)
From Batangas Grand Terminal, take the jeepney going to
Batangas Bayan and have the driver drop you off where
you can take another jeepney going to SM Batangas;
jeepney fares are at P12 each.
Go to the parking lot at the back of SM where the jeepneys
going to Dela Paz are parked. These pass by Ilijan before
reaching Dela Paz, so you may be dropped off at Ilijan if
the boats are there. The drivers usually also know where
the passenger boats are. The fare is P40 for Ilijan and
P45 for Dela Paz; travel time is 30 minutes to 45 minutes,
depending on the waves.
Charter a private boat to Verde Island.
Getting to Puerto Galera
The cheapest and most usual way to reach Puerto Galera
from Manila is via 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.
