Getting Here

The easiest way to get to get here is by private hire car or van and banca directly to Big Lalaguna beach. Just contact us to arrange pickup from the airport or your hotel in Manila can arrange this for you as well.

Another option is tourist coach which is cheaper than private transfer but almost as hassle free. There are two main operators, one being the SiKat service (tel +63 2 5213344) which departs the City State Tower Hotel in Malate and the other the Swagman bus which leaves from the Swagman Hotel (tel +63 2 5238541). Both leave at 8a.m. and charge a flat fee of about 700 pesos one-way which includes bus and ferry tickets, and a guide.

A cheaper method, but only recommended for the experienced traveller is one of the many public bus services which ply the route from various terminals in Manila to Batangas. Make sure the destination sign reads 'Batangas Pier via Star Tollway' or similar for the most direct route. Once at Batangas Pier look for a ferry to Sabang from where you can walk to Big Lalaguna, or failing that Muelle Pier in Puerto Galera is a second option but involves another transfer via jeepney or small banca.

The fastest and most expensive method at around USD350 for up to 3 passengers is by seaplane but be aware that sea conditions are not always suitable for landing and takeoff.
