In a nutshell
When you dont care about anything else but the sun, sand and sea, Puerto Galera is the nearest (from Manila) place to be...
bucheonman Says: On White Beach, there are several things to do, such as renting a water skidoo or banana boat riding. We couldn't because they wait for a full load (10 or so) before going and we had to go. It wasn't overly expensive, 200 peso or so.A few of the touts offer you a skidoo or...
kemisteryoso Says: From White Beach I went to Cocobeach where I spent my night and 1 whole day . I just wanted to be away to the busy night life of White beach that time. This is the best part of traveling and what I always like to do, lying on a bamboo cottage while sipping my fruit juice and...
firealessandra Says: Puerto Galera boasts of 17 great diving spots. This island has a mixture of hard and soft corals. You can also try wreck diving and exploring the "Hole in the Wall". It's amazing that I saw a giant sea turtle when I went diving there.Pacific Divers in Puerto Galera offers...
woef Says: Splendid view.Don't forget your swim gear.Many people come here for a picture, but everybody forgets his gear.We were the only one swimming here, what is excellent of course. only 20 peso entrance fee...the road to the falls is bad. about 40 minutes from puerto galera....
kemisteryoso Says: Night life is not complete if you will not try their Mindoro sling, a hot local cocktail mixed with slices of a apple on a pitcher with a long stick on it. I think it is a mixed of Rhum, mango , grandine syrup and sprite if I'm not mistaken. But I think, there are some other...
Thins To Do and Essentia; "bring" list
IccaDantes Says: ActivitiesBanana Boat Ride @ 100 per personWakeboarding at Aninuan Beach for 1,500 per 30 mins because it is tugged by a speedboat. Gas costs a lot than your regular wakeboard parks where in it is cable tugged.Massage at the beach for 200 per hourHair Braiding and Corn Rows...

Le Bistro D'Agathe: Superb french cuisine and bakery!
Charmanj Says: An excellent restaurant with great food, quiet surroundings, right on the waterfront with a very friendly owner "Patrice".This restaurant is actually in Puerto Galera, not Sabang like many of the others listed. It has a good selection on the menu, including many European...
Luca's Cucina Italiana: Food trip again at Talipanan's only Italian Resto!
santeria01 Says: Luca's is the only Italian restaurant in Talipanan. Owned by an Italian (duh!), we had our dinner here after some boulder hike and beach soak. We initially ordered the seafood marinara. It was a huge serving! I was totally full even before our Luca's signature pizza arrived...
Mengie's: Relaxation & food trip jive so well at Talipanan!
santeria01 Says: We arrived at Talipanan before lunch time. We immediately headed to the nearest open resto (Mengie's, just beside our place heehee) We were greeted by a big smiling lady who immediately talked to us in English. We had Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Adobo. Chicken Adobo is OK,...
Big Apple: Sabang is not for kids.
bucheonman Says: In Sabang after hours, it gets a little lewd. In the daytime it is fine for kids but after hours, they might see things you don't want them to see. White Beach area is more popular for adults and for locals. Sabang is for men.After most bars have already closed, Big Apple...
kemisteryoso Says: A Catamaran Type banca is the most common transportation when going to Puerto Galera. The travel is 1 hour. Trips usually start at 5 AM. If you are in a hurry, fast raft is an option. And if you are afraid especially if there are dark clouds in the horizon,you can take Roro...
Galerian Lines- direct transpo to Talipanan
santeria01 Says: This was the only boat which goes directly to and from Talipanan Beach. Odd, we were unable to try this one. Was supposed to but when we arrived at Batangas Port, Galerian lines' booth has not opened yet. It was due to open 9:30AM and we arrived 8am. Price is Php300 per pax...

Parkway Mini-Mart: Snacks? Bottled Water? Ice Cream? Shampoo?
sherleh Says: It may not be 7-11 or Mini Stop but this is perfect just in case you find bottled water at the hotel too expensive (you can buy the 5 liter ones, but better buy one when you reach the Batangas Pier) or you're craving for some ice cream or junk food or forgot to bring your...
White Beach Tiangges: Forgot Your Beachwear? Souvenirs?
sherleh Says: There are a lot of shops at White Beach that sell beachwear, flip-flops, toys for making sandcastles, inflatables, souvenir shirts and items, Mangyan woven bags and baskets, fancy jewelry, pearls and the colorful branklets (bracelet/anklets). The basic branklets are sold at...
bucheonman Says: I saw some ridiculous prices for jeepneys from Sabang to White Beach, but those prices are for renting the entire thing for a set period of time. Don't even look at that, but ask for the public jeepney to Puerto Galera town and then rent a trike from there to White Beach. It...
TOURIST MILKING A LA PHILIPPINES

sherleh Says: The light colored sand is nice to look with the colorful pebbles and the clear waters. If you don't feel like seeing a lot of people but want to stay at White Beach, then you can swim at the left most side of White Beach, coz it is more quiet there. I highly recommend the...
