Directions to Batangas Port

[badsekktor]

I need directions guys. i'll be coming from the north.

[moejun2]

take the SLEX all the way to the Batangas Exit, then at Sto. Tomas get on the Star Tollway all the way to the end and from there it's just around 10 minutes to the port.

thanks bro! i guess may directions naman paglabas ng star tollway. I'll be going to puerto galera kasi. additional query lang... safe ba yun parking sa port?

[moejun2]

parking is relatively safe, they do have covered parking that's for sure.

sir, from the end of the star tollway, that's the last exit, there are signs pointing to the batangas port. if you pass by a toyota car dealer, you're on the right track.

from the entry point of the star tollway in sto. tomas, it's around 45 kilometers (not sure) till the end, shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes from end to end. two years ago the star toll ended at lipa so from there it was an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the traffic situation.

ok thanks bro!

the other posts are right, it's just a straight road from Star tollways all the way to batangas port. When you reach the balagtas tollgate, may rotonda, diretso lang yun and you are about 4-5 kilometers away, take the flyover and pagkababa mo dun, yun na yung port of batangas.

not sure dun sa covered parking, pero pag ako pumupunta sa mindoro area, open parking lang yung napaparadahan ko, relatively safe naman.

if you want covered parking, there's a mall in batangas city proper, pwede ka mag arrange ng overnight parking if you want. mas mahal nga lang rate

sir badsekktor, they have covered parking lot

[moejun2]

yeah, the covered parking lot is the same building that houses the ticket offices.

fast craft tawag nila bro. malaking bangka that can occupy around 20-30 passengers. marami silang nagooperate dun so i think every 30 mins may byahe. marami yan. diretso white beach na. in terms of safety, hmmm... may mga life vest naman. di ko lang napapansin kung kasindami nung pasaherong nakasakay.

boatfare sir i think 200-300 kasi nung punta ko few years ago, 180. mas ok po kung morning ang punta nyo kasi sa hapon malakas ang alon, medyo nakakatakot.
