How to Get Bulalacao Island from Manila
1. From Buendia you can ride bus going to Batangas Pier (167.00php).
(You may ride bus in Cubao bound to Batangas as well.)
2. From Batangas Pier you may take RORO going to Calapan Pier (197.00). Please be advised you need to pay 30php for the Passenger Terminal Fee.
3. Once you are already in Calapan Pier, you may ride van going to Bulalacao Pier. (180php)
Keep in mind that Tambaron Island is a private Island and there is no public transportation. I highly suggest to contact Manong Donnie at 09194557727 and arrange your island transfer and island hopping at very reasonable price. I contacted him 2 months prior our trip at least to have ideas how much we need to prepare for this travel. I haggled our island transfer for 2,000php (per one way) and 3,500php for our island hopping.
Please see below the breakdown of expenses.
