How to Go From Puerto Galera to Manila Airport

If you are looking for directions on how to get to Puerto Galera from Manila, I created a different resource about it. Read about it here How to Get to Puerto Galera. This one is for the other way around. I will be giving you directions on how to go from Puerto Galera to Manila Airport.

Today You Will Learn the Following:

  • Balatero to Batangas Pier
  • Batangas Pier to Metro Manila
  • How to Get to the Manila International Airport From Manila Bus Terminal

First, watch this video I created on How to Go From Puerto Galera to Manila Airport. Then you can read the more detailed instructions below.

Balatero Port to Batangas Port

When you’re done having fun with BADLADZ here in Puerto Galera, here is how you go back to Manila. It’s pretty easy actually, from you will need to take a tricycle to Balatero pier.

Same as when you are coming from Batangas to Puerto Galera, fare here at Balatero Port will be around 300 – 500PHP depending on the class of the ferry.

There are a couple of ticketing offices here so make sure to check the first ferry that goes to Batangas Port. Usually they post the time of departure outside their ticketing offices.

Get your ticket and standby for boarding when the ferry is ready. Travel time is 1 hour or less for Fast Craft and 2 hours for RORO. Once you arrive in Batangas, the next step is to take a bus to Manila.

So now you are in Batangas Pier, the next step is to get a bus, a taxi or a van that goes to Manila. Just follow the people that go out of the pier.

If you want to take a taxi or a van you can get them at the parking lot of the Batangas Pier. Prices for these are more expensive that’s why we highly recommend you take the local bus to Manila. The bus is safe, comfortable and very affordable.

Here is how you get a bus…

Most busses available for you are at the parking lot but I don’t really recommend them if you’re short on time. Buses here don’t seem to have a time schedule. You might sit on the bus for 30 minutes to a couple of hours before they leave.

Best option for you to get a bus is to go to the Batangas City Bus terminal, the bus here leaves every 30 minutes. To get here you will need to take a trike from the pier.

There are two types of trike there. Get a trike with other passengers for 50PHP or you can charter your own trike for 100 PHP going to Batangas bus terminal.

Once you arrive at the terminal, look for your bus that has a sign that reads like this…

The bus will take you to Manila within 1 to 1.5 hours. You can get off at Delarosa Street which has Buendia Train Sation or at the Bus Terminal. From there the next step is to get a taxi to the airport.

How to Get to the Manila Airport from Manila Bus Terminal

Now we are close to our destination. If you get off at Delarosa you can get a metered taxi there that can take you to the airport.

Find the taxi you will use by asking them if they will use their meter. If they won’t, shut their door and go to the next one.

When they agree, make sure they turn on their meter before they leave. Sometimes they will start talking to you so you forget and they conveniently forget.

Watch this short video about using taxis for you to avoid getting ripped off.

Once you get your taxi just let them know what terminal you are going so they can get you the fastest route to the airport.

If you get off at Dela Rosa Street near the Buendia station and you are going to terminal 1 or terminal 3 here are the fastest route, see images below.
