POINTERS: The bus is more spacious unlike the shuttle Van. The bus however tend to take routes with the most traffic to pick up passengers so the trip could take longer 4-5 hours total. The Van waits for passengers to fill up the slots, so it could take 30 minutes waiting time but trip time is generally 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Fare costs around 180-200 PHP/person for both options.. You can pay for another seat (P180) so you have space for your luggage. Traveling in the province is generally safe and friendly..
TRANSPORT FROM THE AIRPORT: Private transfers from the Manila International Airport or a Manila location can be arranged for you upon request.
Rates range from PHP 4,000/van or PHP 3,000/taxi service one way trip. The cost will be divided among passengers.
The van can accommodate 6-7 passengers with minimal luggage, 4-5 with dive gear. The car can bring 2-3 passengers.
