Boat to Sabang from Batangas

[sonar]

Hey guys,

I just arrived in Manila and I want to go to Sabang the day after tomorrow. I am staying in Malate and was wondering whats the best way to get to Batangas port. Is that from Manila BLTB or Passay busstation? I will figure it out but if someone knows for sure it be nice to hear.

More important question is till what times the ferries leave. I remember reading something about till 12.00 or 15.00 or something.

So far I am kinda impressed by Manila; it's an insane city. Drove through Angles/ Clark which pretty much looks like hell on earth just like the suburbs of manila. Malate kinda reminds me of Phnom Phen; which is cool

If anybody got the answer or tips it be cool otherwise I will find it out somehow

But in this case, you will need to take a Jeepney from PG to Sabang (more time travelling). If you take the JAM bus from Passay station, it drops you ar Batangas pier, where there are ferries that go straight to Sabang. They'll drop you off 20 m from Divedojo. It's the easiest I found, as well as cheapest.

Personally, the earlier you leave the better because Manila trafic is a killer! It turns the 1h30 bus ride to batangas into a 2.5-3h+ bus ride! When I was there I took the first one in the morning (couldn't sleep, I think it was 5 or 6 am). I was at Batangas by 8h00 and the first ferry landed me in Sabang around 9h30 am or 10 (don't remember). But I was so tired at the time (30+h of travelling) that I wasn't tired anymore. Walked up the steps to Divedojo and they asked me if I wanted to go diving. I said yeah, dressed up and we went to Canyons... and that was the start of the great time I had there!!!!

Please say hi to Ethei, Trendy and Halcyon from Simon!

Have fun!

Malate and Phnom Phen, two radical concepts! I was in Phnom Phen while UNTAC was there in '92, it made Malate look like Kindergarten.
