What & Where is Puerto Galera, Philippines?
Puerto Galera is a tropical wonderland located only 120km from Manila on top of Mindoro Island. This place is actually a province, not a town, and encompasses an adventurous area that includes Town Proper (Poblacion), Sabang & White Beach.
In fact, as many travelers are aware, Puerto Galera is well known for Scuba Diving as the Verde Island Passage located between Batangas and Mindoro island has been declared the Center of the Center of Marine Shorefish Biodiversity in the world.
Its surrounding area is protected as a Man and Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO site providing wondrous opportunities for sightseeing and Hiking.
Puerto Galera Bay also belongs to the Club of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World and if given the chance to arrive here on Muelle Pier, see exactly why that as you get there.

This is probably the #1 of all the Puerto Galera Frequently Asked Questions.
Definitely, the most common route to Puerto Galera is through BATANGAS PIER. NO public ships, boats, or airplanes go directly to Puerto Galera from Manila or anywhere else in the Philippines.
In Particular, the Options starting with the Cheapest are this.
Public Bus: Buses leave PITX (Paranaque Integrated Transit Exchange,)Buendia, Cubao & many other locations in Manila hourly
Private Car: Commute by car on South Super Highway then Star Tollway. Park at the Pier
Taxi or Van: From any point to Batangas Pier. Set the price FIRST & who pays the toll fees. Once at Batangas Pier you will take a Public Ferry boat to one of two ports in Puerto Galera.
Below are lists of Puerto Galera’s Ports.- Muelle Pier: This is the Main Tourist Pier and the Heart of Puerto Galera. Awesome for Scuba Diving & Adventure.
