Puerto Galera Transportation
Puerto Galera is located on the northern part of the island of Mindoro in the province Oriental Mindoro. It is about 130 kilometers south of Manila and 14 nautical miles from Batangas City. In total it has 12 coastal villages or Barangays and one mountain district. It is bordered in the north by the Verde Island Passage, in the northeast by the town of San Teodoro, in the northwest by Occidental Mindoro and in the south by Mount Malasimbo and Mount Baco. It covers a total land area of 23.247 hectares.
Puerto Galera can only be reached via land routes from Manila to Batangas. After completion of the so-called Sky Way near Manila and the partial completion of the new highway from Tanuan to Lipa City the travel time to Batangas has been considerably reduced. However a travel time to Batangas Pier of two hours from Manila has to be counted with.
Traveling to Puerto Galera used to be quite a hassle, but one of the major accomplishments of the last two year is the construction of the new port in Batangas.
The bothersome porters who used to harass the travelers have disappeared and have been replaced with porters employed by the terminal authority, who can assist the traveler for a fixed fee.
When one gets to the port, one is directed to an airport-style air-conditioned lobby where passengers can wait in relative comfort till they are called to board the ferry of their choice. The entrance road to this multibillion Peso port terminal is however very surprisingly not hardened yet and one has to be prepared for a bumpy ride of about two kilometers.
From Batangas there are several ferryboat services that can bring their passengers to Puerto Galera in one or two hours, depending on the choice of ferry.
