Arrival

  • The nearest major airport is Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA/MNL) in Manila, about 120 km from Puerto Galera.
  • From Manila, travel to the resort takes around 3–4 hours depending on the transfer option:
  • Private Transfer (Fastest & Most Convenient): Door-to-door service with private car pickup in Manila and a direct speedboat transfer to Lalaguna Villas’ beachfront. Total travel time is under 3 hours.
  • Shared Shuttle & Boat Service: A scheduled van departs Manila daily at 1:00 PM for Batangas Pier, followed by a private or semi-private boat to the resort. Total travel time is about 4 hours.
  • Public Transport (Economical Option): Public bus from Manila to Batangas Pier, then a public ferry to Puerto Galera (Sabang Pier). From there, it’s a 5-minute boat ride or a 10-minute walk to the resort. Travel time is 4–5 hours.
  • Check-in time: 14:00

Departure

  • Check-out time is 11:00.
  • Transfers back to Manila can be arranged directly with the resort by private car and speedboat, shared shuttle and boat, or public bus and ferry.
