5 REASONS WHY PUERTO GALERA IS A MUST-VISIT

5. Accessibility – just 3 to 5 hours away from the metro, Puerto Galera is the closest island paradise I can think of. One can ride a bus bound to Batangas port (160 PhP) along several terminals in Taft Avenue. Once there, a ferry ride (250 PhP plus environmental ad terminal fees) can take you to White Beach in Puerto Galera in no time.

4. Hassle-free- Because of its accessibility, an unplanned weekend Puerto Galera can run without a hitch. You can also enjoy water activities, island hopping and land tours in a jiffy. Haggling is a-must and do not be afraid to ask for the best rate. Other tourist destinations (Tamaraw Falls etc) in Galera are relatively close and one can gaze upon the beauty of nature without batting an eyelash. 

3. Affordability- Room rates can go as low as PhP600 to a few thousands depending on location, amenities and package inclusions. The food is reasonably priced and eat-all-you can restos abound. Tour packages might go a bit pricey but worth the charge.

 2. Night revelry- What sets Galera apart from other tourist destinations is its enchanting nightlife. One can enjoy booze and dance the night away while frolicking in the beach. Some portions of the White Beach are quiet and peaceful, ideal for meditation and self-reflection.

1. Beach- its crystal-clear water and nearly white sandy beaches of Galera is truly a league of its own. Even with limited budget, one can just watch the time pass away and enjoy the beauty of beach life in Galera’s long stretch of beachfront. For sporty ones, beach volleyball is a must and a sure way to mingle and befriend tourists and locals.

Wait and plan no more, enjoy life your way! Be spontaneous and follow spur-of-the-moments decision! Life should be one helluva adventure! GTG, the boat is coming…
