TRIP GUIDE│Getting to Beautiful Peninsula of Caramoan

Caramoan from Manila:



Via Airplane, you can book any of domestic flights to Naga City (377 km South of Manila) and enjoy the 8 hour ride from your favorite plane to your destination.

From Naga City Central Terminal, you can take van or cab to Sabang port (2hr ride). From Sabang Port, take commercial boats (bangka) that ferry passengers to the Guijalo, Caramoan Port.

This is Sabang port, this boat came from Guijalo port, Caramoan. We left the New Crown Hotel at Naga around 6AM and came 9 AM. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the first trip for that day, 6AM and opt to waited for the next one, 10Am. Hotel Roa owner, Dr. Ramon Roa who accompanied us said that locals used to carry passengers on their backs and their luggages to keep them dry until they reached the boat. But because of gender difference among lifters and passengers, especially among females, they made this wooden bridge to help them cross safely.


Schedule varies depends how long a boat takes to fill up passengers and luggages, but usually hourly boat departure starts at 5 AM. 

Finally we're at Guijalo port 12:30PM, boat ride usually take 2-3 hours.

We were almost near the port then, but I was puzzled why this commercialized boat stopped from quite distant away from the port. Then after seconds, small boats came fetching passengers. We're like being attacked by pirates! haha. We'll it was low tide that's why. On the other hand, all our things were located on a certain area so we can't get it at once, they just asked us to ride the boat first and wait for our baggages at the port.Of course I was nervous about our things, but nothing to worry, all of the locals and lifters were honest, just keep an eye other passengers, they might carry away yours.

When we reached the port, we noticed unusual bigger tricycles offering ride and hotel accommodations. So if you haven't took any tour packages, don't worry, Hotels will make it easier for you and will arrange everything for you in a very cheap price!

Remember: Boat ride from Guijalo, Caramoan Port back to Sabang is until 11 AM only.
