Travel Directions: How to get to Caramoan

by Caramoan Travel Guide on Dec.14, 2008, under Travel Tips

If you are like me who is afraid to fly in an airplane and have difficulty getting to exotic places like Boracay, The Bahamas, Bermuda or Galapagos Islands, you can now rejoice.  The Caramoan Peninsula is located in the island of Luzon, Philippines. That means it is reachable via land travel from Manila.  Read on to know how to get to Caramoan.

One can take a 10 hour bus ride from Manila to Naga City, Camarines Sur.  You will pass through the provinces of Laguna, Batangas, Quezon and Camarines Norte.

Then from Naga City it will take another shuttle bus ride to Sabang.  It will take approximately 2 hours to Sabang.  This is where the Caramoan-Naga port (San Francisco Church) where you will embark on a boat ride to Caramoan. Departing schedule to Caramoan starts at 12 PM in the afternoon until 1 AM in the morning. The boat ride normally takes 2 hours.  From the port in Caramoan,  you may take local transportation to your chosen accommodation, inn or hotel.

But as soon as you hit the waters of Caramoan,  you will get refreshed,  relaxed and enjoy this secret paradise.  It is really an adventure fulfilled.

    Thanks for that informative post. However, may I ask as to where should we ride the Sabang shuttle if we took the bus ride to naga city from manila? should it be anywhere near the bus terminal? In case, how much would that cost us? and may I also know if the island/resorts there accommodates a day pass? thanks very much.

    ok dito madaming island na puwede puntahan rent ka lang ng boat or sa isang island ka lang overnight kayo tapos pasundo na lang kayo uli kinabukasan sa bangka. bumili na kayo ng food at drinks sa poblacion dahil hindi ito tulad ng boracay na madaming tindahan.

    the above information is for normail travel (TIPID) if you are reach person visit gota village.

    regards,

    Hi! Good day! I hope to plan a trip in Caramoan soon but i’m on a tight budget. Would you happen to know in which island/s do they allow camping? Mas makakatipid sana sa accomodation e. And do you have other Tipid tips for us considering we’re a group of budget travelers? :) Thank you and hoping to hear from you soon!

    For information the experience that tourists like us doesnt like is being carried in shoulders and getthing wet in this process. Why not use the Dolo port nearby one kilometer away from Sabang for the convenience of people going to Caramoan. This experience to some tourists will make them think of not returning anymore.

  18. Bernadette Dickey

    If we decided to drive our car, is there a safe place to park it once we reached Caramoan-Naga port?

  21. Michael Ho

    Hi, may I know when is the best time to visit Caramoan? Is October a good month? If I fly in from Manila to Naga, is there direct bus to the ferry port?

    The quickest way is to go to Virac airport, (1hr) then take a van or tricycle to Codon port (20 min). , then via boat to Caramoan (30 min). I’m not sure if the roro is now available at this point of time though.:-)

    We booked a flight with PAL to CamSur in Aug. Could you please tell me the best place to stay in Naga just in case we decide to stay for say a day or two in the city before we off to Caramoan or maybe the nearest place to the port off to Caramoan? Also, we won’t give a miss to see the Water Sports Complex, do you know any alternative activities we can do apart from water skeing or any interesting place to go around as my fiance is kind of a “been there, seen it once and that’s it?”

    may signal ba pagdating mo sa caramoan?

    Sana wag maging kagaya ng Boracay to. Na-baboy ng commercialism, walang pakialam ang local government sa serenity ng island. Puro na garbage at lumot ang tubig ng Boracay, yuk!
