Fantastic place, people, cheap rates
Highly recommended great for scuba but not so much for family vacation.
this is so nice. Miss going there..
So many dives to choose from in the Sabang/Puerto Galera area. They are all fantastic. Plenty of walk out dives just out front of many hotels in Puerto Galera as well. Definitely stay in Sabang. It’s a bit seedy and not too family friendly directly in Sabang town. But if you walk just up to Big Laguna or Small Laguna you can find some nicer hotels with a better family experience. Otherwise there are family friendly hotels in White Beach or the very best would be Coco Beach — which is a sort of theme park paradise.
ARE BOATS RUNNING NEW YEASR DAY FROM BATANGAS TO SABANG??
We stayed at La Laguna Beach resort with children(ages 8 & 10)and it was a great experience for all. The resort is reasonable priced(food a bit pricey) and the diving is super inexpensive. My husband and I were able to do some amazing dives and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and beach. They offered a bubble makers class for the kids and the instructor(Leo) was really good with them. I would highly recommend a a trip out to Verde Island. The reefs and the amount of sea life are absolutely stunning. One big factor is it has not been overrun with careless tourist. For a small fee the resort sent us over to the island with a cook and a waitress to prepare a delicious meal while we went diving at the Pinnacle. I felt comfortable enough to leave my children with the waitress who offered to watch them. My husband got his advanced divers cert. and the dive instructor(Bad Dave) was phenomenal! He was extremely knowledgeable and very big on safety. Dave was a wealth of information on the history and dives in the area. We plan to go again real soon!
I dove there this April. I really enjoyed my stay there. The food was good. The dive master was one of the best I have had. I had a disability and they treated me really well. Helped with getting set up and then helped me get out of my gear. The only complaint was the location of the hotel. It was very nice, but you could not get near it by vehicle. You had to walk and it was not a real fun walk. Highly recommend diving there. We are going back in December.
If you don’t mind sharing, how much was the scuba diving trip and how long?
I arrived at Manila airport rented a scooter through Book2wheel.com. The owner delivered me the scooter at the airport. I paid I think 500 for the delivery at the airport. scooter per day cost me 500 pesos. I put my bag back between my legs And went to Puerto Galera.
Book thing I order Honda clicks 150cc it had good space. 2nd I order a mobile holder. Which made my life easy.
Took me 5 to hours I went slow on the highway. It was hard to find a way through google Maps to used Waze. I arrived at the port of Batangas. Port guys what to cheat me with money. I said no thank you. you can do your search on my scooter.
Arrive at the port of Puerto Galera in 2 hours. Then it was fun. love the island. It is really nice and clean, please.
