From Cubao JAC Liner, take the first trip going to Lucena P218.00 (1am-2 am). Bus will drop you at Lucena Grand Terminal , take the bus bound to Mauban that will cost you P50.00. The travel time will take 60 to 90 minutes and drop you near the wet market, where you can buy your food and other needs.

You can walk your way to Pantalan or Mauban port, or ride tricycle P10.00 each. Public boat travels twice a day, 10:00 in the morning and 4:00 in the afternoon. Boat fare is P40.00. Boat capacity = 60 persons and will travel for 40-60 minutes. Some wil offer also private boat which is more expensive than the public one.

At Sabang Port, locals will approach you to offer services to Cagbalete’s Resorts. If you have already reserved accommodation on your choice, they will assign locals to welcome and accompany you to the resort. You will walk for about 20 mins to Villa Cleofas. You can check thru net for the list of resorts. We stayed at Villa Cleofas. You can also check their room rates thru net.

You can also pinch your tent but with charge..

On our first day, we’re not able to visit the Bonsai Island rather enjoy the scenic view and the other island, hindi ko alam kung ano at island ba yun or talagang low tide lang.

Second day, March 1, 2015

T’was a great day and a perfect place to start our Summer Getaway for March 2015!

We woke up at around 5:30 am, and be amazed on a perfect Sunday sunrise.

And the result…Love! Love it! Love this!

After the photo op we have prepare breakfast and eat to energize ourselves to explore the island.

A happy morning! :)

The water subsides into knee deep making it possible to visit the Bonsai Island. Need to maximize the time, since we need to and make sure that we will be on Sabang Port before 12:30 noon. There are only two trips going back to Pantalan or Mauban Port, first in 8:00 in the morning and 1:00 in the afternoon as soon as the boat was loaded and ready to go..
