The bay at Puerto Galera

Puerto Galera & Mindoro

On the island of Mindoro lies beautiful Puerto Galera, described as one of the world's most beautiful bays. All kinds of activities can be enjoyed here, including swimming, sailing, water sports and diving.

White Beach, Puerto Galera

Puerto Galera is easily reached from Manila, requiring no internal flights.

This is one of the Philippines' most popular holiday destinations, due not only to its relative close proximity to the capital, Manila, but also because of the numerous beautiful sandy beaches surrounding the town.

Puerto Galera is one of The Philippines' best dive sites, and much of the area is now a marine reserve. Several hotels have facilities especially created to cater for the requirements of divers. Shallow waters abound also, to the delight of snorkelers.

We also have delightful private villas to offer. See more on our Villas and Apartments page.

Where better to learn to sail?

So much to do

As one of the most beautiful and safest harbours in the world, Puerto Galera is primarily famous for its splendid beaches, coral reefs teeming with marine life, and exquisite dive sites suitable for new and experienced divers alike.

All kinds of activities can be enjoyed, including swimming, yachting, diving, island hopping, jet skiing, or just sun bathing. There is also a beautiful, challenging golf-course, which has been developed amidst dense forest and steep hillsides.

Fancy a hike? We have friends that operate several hiking trails into the wilds of Mindoro, and this can be incorporated into your stay on the island.

Tamaraw Falls

Unspoilt Mindoro

Given its lofty reputation as an underwater paradise, Puerto Galera is also the perfect gateway to some of the most unspoilt territories and national parks in the vast island of Mindoro.

One will be lured to explore pristine lakes, rivers and waterfalls, meet indigenous tribes with their own stone-age hand-writing, or trek thru lush vegetation and forests.

Visit the famous Tamaraw Falls, or go jungle trekking through the mountains to maybe see the Mangyan tribes people.

Diving

The area features over two dozen prime dive sites, all of which are well worth diving. What's more, diving in Puerto Galera is possible all year round.

Dungon Wall is an easy multilevel dive, with a dozen of attractions to be spotted from big barracudas to beautiful hard and soft corals along the slope and even a catamaran wreck. There is an abundance of aquatic macro life including big carpet anemones and porcelain crabs.

Pandan Island is surrounded with great diving opportunities, fantastic jump-off point for Apo Reef.

Sabang, Puerto Galera

Getting There

Puerto Galera is easily reached from Manila today.

The highway from the city becomes a pleasant dual carriageway for most of the journey, ending at the port of Batangas, where ferries await passengers looking to take the final stage of the journey across the water to the island of Mindoro.

On arrival at Puerto Galera, it is a short hop to the various resorts and white sandy beaches.

Food & Drink

White Beach and Sabang are just two areas offering lively scenes in Puerto Galera.

People literally flock to these places for the most famous parties they throw every night. As soon as the sun sets, the shores of these serene beaches come alive to the tune of live bands and spinning DJs.

There are rows of bars and pubs waiting to offer a party experience unlike anywhere else. Food and drinks are very inexpensive.

At daytime, clubs are either closed or moonlight as quaint cafes and restaurants, catering to those looking to relax.

Our representatives in Puerto Galera will assist you in finding the right activities, and, of course, we can also advise you whilst helping with the planning of your trip.
