How do I get to Anilao from Manila?

[Joe Cool]

I found that thread that talks about a suttle van from Manila to Anilao. KIKO's FLEET! Weekend shuttle service to your favorite dive resort in Batangas and PG [Archive] - ScubaBoard - Scuba Diving Forum - Diving Social Network
It is run by a company called Kiko's Fleet. I do not know if they are still existing. I'll ask around and let you know. In the meantime, here's a copy of the OP:

Is this still operating? Kiko passed away last year.

Pao, I just found out that Kiko passed away 2 years ago. I am asking some friends based in Anilao about transpo options.

According to friends, the best option is to contact the resort and arrange for a private shuttle (convenience and hassle-free) just what a previous poster suggested. Public transportation is another good way but I would think twice about it. As one poster mentioned, you will worry about your luggage (i.e., it getting stolen, pilfered, or lost).

yes agree, contact the resort who can easily arrange the round trip

If you could let me know (maybe in a PM), when you arrive and where you are staying, I'l ask my wifes brother.
They live in Manila but make the trip to Anialo twice a week as they have a house there.
He has a Mini Van and picks up people from the airport often.
Just another option to consider.

Several of the resorts have detailed instructions on how to get to Anilao. Portulano has perhaps the best directions for those without a vehicle, which you can find here: getting to Anilao Batangas Philippines

Eagle Point resort has a very detailed map on their website, perhaps more geared to those driving: Eagle Point Resort Anilao Batangas Official Website

Thank you Rob, this is even better as I do not need to go to Diversion.
All the taxi drivers know where the JAM terminal is.
