Batangas to Puerto Galera Ferry Schedule 2026
Puerto Galera is located roughly 130 kilometers from Metro Manila and can be reached via a 2 to 3 hour land trip to Batangas Port, followed by a 1 to 2-hour ferry ride across the Isla Verde Channel. Skip the outdated travel blogs, our updated 2026 Puerto Galera ferry guide features the latest schedules, current ticket rates, and essential port guidelines for a seamless trip.
The Road to the Port (Approx. 2–3 Hours)
Your trip begins at the bustling terminals of Buendia, Cubao, or PITX. Hop on a JAM Liner, DLTB, or ALPS bus for a scenic 2-hour drive through the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR Tollway). We suggest leaving Manila at least 4 hours before your ferry departure to ensure a stress-free check-in at the Batangas Port passenger terminal.
Choosing Your Crossing (Approx. 1–2 Hours)
Once you reach the water's edge, the choice of vessel defines your arrival:
The Fast Track (60 Mins): If you're eager to hit the beach, the FastCraft services from Galerian Water Transport, Island Water, and Montenegro Shipping Lines will whisk you across the Isla Verde Channel in just one hour. These are passenger-only vessels perfect for those traveling light.
The Steady Voyage (120 Mins): For those bringing a car or traveling with heavy gear, the RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) ferries from Montenegro Shipping Lines and Isla Simara offer a more deliberate 2-hour journey, allowing you to step out onto the deck and watch the mountains of Oriental Mindoro grow larger on the horizon.
