Find Hotels in Puerto Galera, Philippines

Not my thing. Most sighseeing is mediocre. It is a diving paradise, period. You not in diving, not your place.

When the area was developed, it was build very close to the waters edge and it beach was washed away during hurricanes. White Beach is a very nice beach though but you have to take a bangka to get there. The diving is excellent, with adjacent Verde Island offers some of the most bio diverse diving in the world and can be reached from Puerto Galera. Most hotels in the area are 1 and 2 star, and a few 3 star. Great place for scuba!

I would not hesitate in returning a wonderful time

The town is provincial with one or two good bars and good shops along the main road. It is a party town and has the usual attractions, cheap accommodation, food and quayside bars. Most will head to Coco Beach or White Beach which are a little better situated and stylish. A place to visit a couple of days or really pass through to the beach resorts around the area.

More shop for shopping and more activity to do than sabang beach. Sabang beach is only recommended for diving activity not for swimming and family bonding.

The people are great, friendly but enterprising! haha!

There are some quiet peaceful and serene spots to be found in the mix. My first excursion to the area almost fourty years ago left quite an idealic impression that I cannot get out of my mind and look for that in most places I go. It's great to see that out of all areas that I've visited throughout the Visayas there appears to be more of an environmental conciousness there.

Once you are in the island inhabited by expats, you have a variety of choice from family-oriented resorts, bed and breakfasts, 4-5 star resorts or nightlife, you can get them all!.dont miss the secret coves!

Loved it !

Sometimes you just have to start ignoring them or they will pester you nonstop. Also, make sure you keep a hold of your luggage. Sometimes they will insist on "helping" you but expect a tip even if you were more than willing to carry your own bag. The beach and snorkeling was very nice. The food is pretty similar from restaurant to restaurant, but still good. We didn't get a chance to see the waterfalls, but we heard they are very nice.

therein, you can feed the fishes. this time, the school of fishes doubled than the last time we had this activity. you can also go to the underwater cave and ask the boatman to take your pictures.

Highly recommend Ciao Italia at far end of White Beach, real Italian food from a real Italian chef! Easy to go snorkeling and island hopping, fabulous sunsets. Hire a local tricycle driver to take you around, we found and exclusively used Felix Romansanta tel # 09462133131, wonderful man, good English, took us everywhere, really made our trip special and memorable. The people are friendly and helpful, not money grabbers, very respectful. We spent a full week here, very relaxing, totally enjoyable. And it's VERY easy to get to from Manila.

Both have good places to eat, although most good restaurants are expensive. Mang Inasal in White Beach offers good value - it has limited items on the menu, but the food tastes great and price is cheaper compared to other eateries.

It is advisable to check the time of ferry, and anyway there are several companies to find the appropriate time of ferries.

The island has a lot to offer but saddened to see that there are no enough trash cans. We need to preserve the beauty of white beach..

Sand burns easily. But sea water is clean. Nature walks afford lots of photo ops. Islands and falls aplenty. Question where environmental fee goes. So much garbage all over the place.

If not, even if you come early at the port there will be chances you won't get a ride like what happen to our group and other families/group who arrived early in the Muelle port. They took us to Sabang port and from there we waited again. So we missed our original departure time. Very frustrating.

Sabang is rather for single Western men, White Beach for Filipinos and families. PG itself is a small town acting as a hub for the area.

Did not come across any beggers. I also believe that Puerto is safer than many other parts of the Philippines and we had no issues out on the streets at night. Many bars of different kinds. Nice relaxing bars to have a quiet beer (or three) with friends to bars full of girls and loud music.
