Verde Island Passage, Puerto Galera

The ferry trip from Batangas to Puerto Galera already is an attraction in its own right. Shortly after departure from the pier in Batangas, the impressive mountain chain of Mindoro appears before the eyes of the traveler. Crossing the Verde Island Passage, one passes Verde Island (in the east) and Maricaban Island (in the west). Often, dolphins accompany the ferries.

Puerto Galera has one of the most fascinating natural harbors in the world. Medio Island in the north and Boquete Peninsula (at low tide, at high tide Boquete Island) keep the harbor of Puerto Galera almost enclosed. Therefore the harbor basin appears like a palm fringed lake.
