Puerto Galera is one of the most favorite spots in the Philippines simply for one reason: the island has everything to offer. From nature trekking to beach exploring, Puerto Galera is ready to accommodate all of its visitors.

Located at Oriental Mindoro, Philippines, this place boasts of its lush greenery and crystal clear waters. Let us first explore the beach side of the island. Imagine: vast blue ocean view, white waves rushing to the shore, schools of colorful fish, excellent beach sand, and orange sunset. Well with these images in mind, I have one word for you: Perfect! Yes, this is how perfect the Puerto Galera beach side is. It is just what every beach bum is looking for. This is also the main reason for all kinds of tourists to keep on coming back to this island.

You can also do a lot of water adventures such as banana boat riding, diving, and snorkeling. If you have lots of money, you can do all of these three. But if you want an economical but enjoyable adventure like I did, go for snorkeling. Snorkeling allows you to explore the underwater beauty with lesser expenses. Don’t know how to swim? No worries! In snorkeling, you will use a lifejacket, goggles, and a breathing tool. All of these tools are comfortable to wear, so you don’t really have to worry about anything.

Now, let us go to the other side of the island which is the greenery. If you are bored of the sea, you can explore Puerto Galera’s nature reserve. Puerto Galera is proud of its savannas, grasslands, mossy forests, dipterocarp forests, mangrove, and agroforestry systems. You can also find some animals such as tamaraws (Bubalus mindorensis) in this island. Oh just a bit of advice, all tourists must hire local tourist guides to avoid getting lost. Unless you want to travel alone and disappear amid the trees, you should believe me.

Since the island’s greenery is rich, it has been tried to destroy by lots of illegal loggers. But, this island is a favorite of many people which is why the local government has made some efforts to protect the island’s greenery. Today, some nature reserve laws including the clean and green act are observed by local residents. So, be careful with your trash.

If you don’t want to go far away from the beach but want to go nature trekking, you can either crawl in a small cave or climb a small hill—both of which lead to another beach resort. If you choose the small cave, be ready because it is too small that you will not be able to do other movements aside from crawling. If you choose the small hill, boost your stamina and be ready to reach the hilltop.

Can you feel the excitement? Well if you do, what are you waiting for? You can call a travel agent now and have your reservation to Puerto Galera. But if you are still curious about the place, just send me a note.

Wow! You make me feel the tropics. I have there too and to be honest, the experience with the beach was good.. the experience with the locals and with the road going there was not so good... we never went directly by that pumped boat. I also made a travel blog about it, actually..
