I am flying in to Manila at 4am in late Sept. I am wandering whats the fastest/ cheapest way to get to the Batangas Pier so i can book a boat to PG?
1. Does it make sense to just take a taxi straight from the airport to Batangas Pier and what is the approximate cost?
2. other option is to take a taxi to City Tower and then take a shuttle from there.. but since i dont plan to spend the night there, can i still book a shuttle with them (assuming i will only get to hotel around 5:30am) for the same day 8am departure. Risk here is that shuttle might already be sold out or they might not take reservations that late?
my history is that I made a 9 day trip to the Philippines about 10y ago and took the City Tower route (arrived day time) tp PG, from there went to Coron.
This time i have 2wks and my plan is to go to PG for a few days and then I am pretty open.. but would like to see some new places (not necessarily just diving) and would like a chance to see some Thresher sharks and minimize travel time.
any suggestions?
