Van hire in Dumaguete

by unica_hija77

These days they answer "Php2500 with driver and Php1800 without" when you ask how much. P1800 means the gas is on you. But they don't say this rate is for 24 hours. If your trip covers a halfday or less, insist on a discount, although they won't go below P1500. Bike hires, but take a guide along. Tricycle (dust and noise, no AC). Bus with AC, but these leave the terminal hourly.

Getting from ferry to hotel

by johnmperry

When you step off the ferry you wiwll be met by a large number of touts. Most downtown hotels are only a short distance away, so negotiate the price of a tricycle - 50 is excessive but normal. In particular, if you let them carry your bag to the tricycle, they will want extra money. A lot.Generally speaking, Dumaguete seemed the rip-off capital of the region.
