How To Get There

BY AIR     Naga City in Camarines Sur can be reached by plane through the Pili airport. Philippine Airlines and Asian Spirit flies from Manila to Pili daily. It takes one hour flying time to reach Camarines Sur.

BY LAND     One can reach Naga City by bus or by train. The trip via Philippine National Railways (PNR) takes about 10 hours. Travelling by bus is via the scenic Pan-Philippine Highway. Air-conditioned coaches plying the Manila to Naga route leave the Araneta Center at 30 minutes intervals starting at about 4 p.m. thru 9:30 p.m. daily. For tourists coming from the Ermita Center, another set of air-conditioned buses, can take you through the same route to Naga. For the weary business traveler, arrive in tip-top shape, sleep thru the whole length of the ten-hour trip and for the starving passenger dine in style, your choices are enormous - a piping hot porridge, the delectable Filipino chicken "adobo", or the more cosmopolitan sandwiches. Which way you want it, the buses stop at designated restaurants that serve these kinds of food.

BY SEA     Boats sail to offshore islands and coastal communities. There's a daily trip between Pasacao and San Pascual on Burias Island (Masbate). Boats sometimes cross from Cabcab (San Andres, Catanduanes) to Sabang, (Camarines Sur). A pleasant and interesting route between Daet (Camarines Norte) and Naga City is to sail across and down San Miguel Bay via Siruma.
