Silventures: Puerto Galera 2015

Yes, this is super late! I honestly though I have made a blog about this last year.

This trip was organized by the birthday girls Aya and Bell. They when to Singapore this year, did not have enough for that one. Maybe in the next adventure, I can join again. :)


Last year, today POS was in White Beach, Puerto Galera!

Warning: This is not a guide but just a recollection of how we got there.


We rode a bus from Cubao to Batangas Port. Travel time was about 2 hours or so, the fare was 175 Php. Make sure that you have an idea of what ferry to ride to Mindoro. Our hotel gave our names to a ferry service they preferred, which was Minolo Shipping Lines. Once you are at the Port of Batangas and you have the name of your ferry, as much as possible, don't talk to anyone even if they say that they are a porter from the same ferry company. Having your things carried for you will entail an extra cost. The fare from the port to White Beach is 175 one way and 250 for round trip tickets.

After alighting from the ferry, There was free shutter to your hotel. We stayed at Rem's Virgin Island Hotel. I like that place it was a few minutes walk to the beach front, which was perfect coz it was noisy at the beach front at night. Also, the room for 6 people is big enough for more than 6 people. One of the rooms we rented as a kitchen sink and cabinets.

Things to do while you are in Puerto Galera:

1. Enjoy the beach

It is the main reason why you are in Puerto after all! There is more that one beach you can visit. Go island hopping for more awesome views!

2. Watch people dance with fire

On our first night, we decided to take a walk along the shoreline. There were so many establishments there and each as their own way to get the attentions of the tourist. We even show one bar with pole dancers.

3. Look for crabs at night

Once you passed the shops you will be able to enjoy some quite time. It was dark, though, so make sure that you bring a flashlight if you want to look for some shells, stones, and random crabs!

4. Feed fishes

Aside from hopping between 3 island, you get to feed schools of fishes.

5. Enjoy good Pizza

Awesome food is awesome! I want more! These pizzas were bought from Arcobaleno Pizzeria. If you are going to the port for island hopping, you won't miss it. Also, it is recommended by the locals.

6. Enjoy the company of crazy people

Hey! As much as I want to travel solo! It is still more fun with friends!

Happy Anniversary to this awesome trip!
