How to get there:
Option 1:
Take a plane going to Tugdan Airport. Cebu Pacific and PAL lang ang may flights going there. Travel time approximately 45 minutes.
Option 2:
🚌 Bus jam liner (jacliner, dltb or any buses going to Batangas Pier). Fare is 167. Travel time is 2hrs.
🚌 Bus jam liner (jacliner, dltb or any buses going to Batangas Pier). Fare is 167. Travel time is 2hrs.
🚢Ferry 2go (Montenegro shipping lines also) going to Odiongan. Fare is 800+ for economy, 1.2k+ for tourist, but we booked 1 month before so mas less yung fare namin which is 1091. Travel time is 8 hrs.
If you gonna stay in Odiongan, there is a budget hotel outside the pier. In our case, we stayed in Looc, one ride from pier.
🚍Jeep going to Bayan ng Looc. If you gonna stay in Ceasar’s Lodging Inn, madadaanan sya ng jeep. Fare is 100. Travel time is 45mins- 1hr.

Dapat sa Carabao Island ang Day 2 namin, but because of the bad weather, hindi kami natuloy. Tinawagan lang namin si Kuya Joice, Habal-habal driver, na itour na lang kami sa Sta Fe. I recommend kuya Joice, bukod sa mura, sya ang naghanap ng murang bangka samin. May mga contacts din sya sa mga transient/budget hotels. Just contact him at 09359999180.

Since mas maaga ang alis ng 2go, 11am daily ang alis nila from Odiongan to Batangas, sa Montenegro kami sumakay. 5pm daily ang schedule ng ferry to Batangas. I prefer Montenegro over 2go coz their bed banks ay mas malinis, even their toilets, super malinis. Their staffs were very friendly and generous.
