Transportation Options
1. Seadogs Scheduled Water Taxi Service
2. Public Ferry
The Seadogs Water Taxi operates daily, departing from Beberabe Port at 13:30 and arriving at Sabang Pier. The return trip leaves Sabang Pier at 12:30. Upon arrival, our staff will be there to assist your clients at Sabang Port.
To catch the Seadogs Water Taxi, guests must be picked up in Manila by 10:30 AM at the latest. If they arrive earlier in the morning, taking a public ferry from Batangas Port may be a more convenient option, as they would otherwise have to wait at Beberabe Port until 13:30 for departure.
For those opting for the public ferry, a tuk-tuk will be arranged to meet them at Balatero Port in Puerto Galera and transport them directly to El Galleon Resort.
