| I always go for the Island hopping activity. |

| Island hopping and snorkeling is so much fun! LOL |
 |
| Told ya it's fun! |
Some of my friends went there Thursday, March 28,2013 so they could get a hotel. Luckily for us, we got ourselves a contact in Puerto Galera who could reserve us a room and is just a text away. We got a room at the Sea Jewel Resort which is 3-5 mins walk to the beachfront. The crowd... uhm... all I can say is that... It is crowded with groups of Happy people and families in Puerto "Gay"lera. he he.

| Galera in the morning. |
Nightlife, well, was, uhm... still buzzing with the Happy people and some families. We had dinner at Mikko's Bar. It wasn't real dinner because they only serve finger food. But of course, if you're really hungry or the type of person who needs to have that complete meal, there's a lot of food stores nearby and the waiters-errr-waitresses (Don't really know how to call them. he he) will allow you to bring food from other stores as long as you drink there.
What to drink? Mindoro Sling... but drink at your own risk. Based on my experience, after having 4 shots, my head started to spin. You'll feel your nerves thumping with the beat of the bar's music. And the rest is history. There are just some things that needs no mentioning. he he.

| Mindoro Sling.... scary... |
How to get there? So easy!
 |
| Take the bus located in Buendia. I would prefer JAM Liner. 2.5-3 hours to get to the Batangas port. |
 |
| Signboards: Don't be confused. As long as you see the Batangas City Pier sign... you're on the right track baby! |
Once you've reached the port, just look for the ticketing booth for the fast craft, make your roundtrip boat payment, terminal/environmental/exit fees and you're all set.

This would be the first time that I will visit PG, may i ask what is your recommended ferry to ride going to PG? Minolo, FSL or Galerian? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi! They're all okay. Though I havnt tried Minolo (Red Boats) yet, but i've heard they have newer boats. Galerian (Blue Boats) has bigger boats. Father & Sons/FSL (Yellow Boats) has a much better boat operation though some of their boats are a litte old. But the last time I was there, I took Challenge of JAR as it was the ticket bought by my friend. :) But if I were to visit again, I'd take Minolo/MSL, since I've been hearing quite good reviews about them. Hope this helped :)
Deletehow much did you pay for the snorkeling?where did you avail it?
ReplyDeleteWe paid P1,500 good for 8 people. You can use your haggling skills here, coz they would normally offer it at P2000-P2500. I apologize, for I wasnt able to get the contact number of the boat agent. But it will be offered to you by tour agents along the strip, just try to haggle. :)
