How to get there
Oriental Mindoro can be reached through land and sea transport. Take a bus or car from Manila to the Batangas City pier. From there,take the super ferry boats bound for Calapan,which has several trips per day,or those bound for Puerto Galera. A roll-on-roll-off (RO-RO) ferry is convenient for those wishing to take their private vehicles.
In Mindoro Oriental,a number of jeepneys ply the capital from the neighboring towns and to the interior. Due to ongoing infrastructure development projects all over the province,access from the capital to some outgoing municipalities is difficult.
