Puerto Galera delights nature lovers with a wealth of outdoor activities. Of course, the main action takes place underwater on the rich, pristine, candy-color reefs that have been officially designated a marine sanctuary by the United Nations.
In addition to spectacular scuba diving and snorkeling, adventurous travelers can enjoy trekking to jungle waterfalls and Mangyan tribal settlements, kayaking deep into jungle rivers, volcano excursions, sailing, wind-surfing, deep sea fishing and mountain or motor biking through some of the most beautiful scenery in Asia.
Situated on the beautiful island of Mindoro about 110 kilometers south of Manila, Puerto Galera is far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city crowds, yet within easy traveling distance from Manila International Airport.
Figure about two hours from Manila to the port of Batangas and then another hour by ferry to Puerto Galera. If you book in advance with Action Divers, Team Action will arrange everything and greet you at the airport to ensure your trip gets off to 100% hassle-free start! more info...
Back in the old days, you could have any dive op you wanted as long as it was Action Divers, which pioneered world-class scuba diving in the Philippines.
Now there are scores of Action clones but the original is still the best, thanks mainly to Team Action, Puerto Galera's friendliest and most professional dive team.
