How to Get to Calaguas

While there are travel/tour organizers offering Calaguas tour, a DIY trip is possible and the cheapest way to get to the island. The experience of doing it on your own for the entire journey adds thrill and excitement to what is already an exciting adventure.

Calaguas via Vinzons

Daet, the capital of Camarines Norte is the jumpoff point to Calaguas Islands if you are going there via Vinzons. From there catch a jeeney to Vinzons and get off at the fishport (pandawan). There’s a boat going to Barangay Banocboc daily, it departs the fishport at 11 AM, from Banocboc you can hire a banca to take you to Calaguas Islands for as low as P500.00 or even lower depending on your haggling skill. The return trip to Vinzons fishport leaves Banocboc at 6AM the next day.

Alternatively, you can hire a banca from Vinzons fishport to Calaguas Islands, price depends on the capacity of the boat. For a small boat that can fit four to five people, the lowest rate is at P2500-P3000.00. It is a two hour boat ride from the port.

Going to Daet from Manila, you have two options:

By Land

Philtranco, Amihan (Contact No: 3871792), DLTB and Superlines buses offer Cubao/Pasay to Daet for an approximately 7-8 hours travel time. Fare cost differs, but ranging from P450 to P750.

You can book your bus from Manila to Daet or vice versa below:

BOOK YOUR BUS FROM MANILA TO DAET

By Air

Naga in Camarines Sur is closest airport with regular commercial flights via Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific. From Naga, Daet is around two hours drive. There are vans to Daet located in Naga Van Terminal, the earliest departs at 5AM and the last trip is around 7PM.

Calaguas via Paracale

Paracale, a Camarines Norte town popular for its gold, is fast becoming an entry point to Calaguas Islands. From Daet, the town can be reached in less than two hours by public vans, fare is around P60.00. Last trip from Daet to Paracale is 6PM and 5PM for Paracale to Daet.

If you are coming from Manila, Superlines has direct trip to Paracale/Panganiban (P515/pax, one-way, as of February 2016). Get off at Paracale and make your way to the fish port. Alternatively, you can ride a bus to Daet, get off at Barangay Talobatib in the town of Labo and ride another bus for less than an hour to get to Paracale town and walk to the fish port.

At the fish port, you can ask around for fishermen’s boats to Halabang Baybay (Mahabang Buhangin), Calaguas for as low as P3000 (good for five to six persons, overnight) or you may opt to ride a boat that goes to Barangay Mangkawayan, Calaguas for a cheaper fare of at least P50 per person. However there’s no regular public boat going to Barangay Mangkawayan but more of fisherman’s boat and the schedule  is unpredictable.

  15. Anthony

    Olay!

    I would like to to share my experience in Calaguas, the small boat part thingy. Well si Mang Nelson rin contact namin kasi as i have read previous blogs about him eh siya yung recommend nila ang wala naman negative said about him, the only problem my group encountered is that:

    1. We thought we will be having a bigger rigger, capacity of 15pax up since we were 16. Naging 2 banka’s, no prob naman. ONLY walang life vests yung 2nd banka w/ 8 beachineers on board, the 1st banka, only 6 vests were available.

    *i believed that the banka w/o the vests are not directly from Mang Nelson’s fleet. Kaibigan lang ata kasi siguro nagkulang na banka nya sa dami ng turista noon.

    2. Usapan po namin is 3D/2N stay namin dun for the hatid-sundo. Kaso yung usapan namin na php8,000 para sa 2 banka eh nagpadagdag nung pauwi na kami ng php700 kasi yung “sinabit” lang nila na isang banka eh di nila alam na uuwi pa sila pabalik ng Paracale kasi sa ssunod na araw pa kami magpapahatid. Sa banka nman nila wala naman problema kasi sa kabilang side lang ng isla naka-tengga yung banka nila. Binigay narin namin yung php700 na dagdag. Sana lang next time eh sabihan na nila yung banka na eto lang usapan sa bayad at araw ng sundo etc para hindi may dagdag na surprise charges. Di naman lahat ng turista mayaman hehehe.

    3. Usapan namin is kasama na island hop to Macalabo Island pero mukhang nakalimutan na. We enjoyed naman Mahabang Buhangin but my group expected an island hop nung pa-uwi….

    Other than that, i still would recommend Mang Nelson. Just be sure to have a black and white verbal agreement on the exact price of the charter and the day of the hatid-sundo, the very important life vests and the type or banka you would want to have.

    Now for the Paracale Port,

    i recommend everyone to wash-up at Mahabang Buhangin and never think of having a bath at Paracale. Because…. …just very traumatic to go further

    Other than that bruhaha, Calaguas is one of the remaining not-so-“molested” island beaches around and should be visited ASAP!

    i remember Anawangin when you can ran unhindered by tents and structures, now if you approach the beach, certain locals will ask for a entrance fee even if you wont stay there very long…

    Business nga naman…

    “Leave Nothing but Footprints…
    Take Nothing but Pictures..
    Kill Nothing but Time…”

    Cheers! ♪

    1. Wow! Thanks for the feedback Anthony!
      Well, I just hope that the serenity of Calaguas will be preserved.

      1. Anthony

        Yeah, i hope so… it is one of those places that you would really feel that you are in an island secluded from the rest of the world.

        Cheers! ♪

    planning kming 2 ni bf to go to calaguas. Sabi better sa paracale ung route kc less alon as compared to vinzon’s yung boat ba from paracale malaki? medyo malulain kc ako. ska magkano kya ang tour for the 2 of us?

  20. kate ignacio

    angel, grabe yung nangyari samin sa calaguas. di ko ineexpect na ganun si mang nelson. we arrived at paracale port around 4am. tinawagan namin sya and di sumasagot. after 10 missed calls sumagot yung wife nya ata. 5am daw kami pupuntahan. around 5;30 na and sobrang liwanag na, walang anino ni mang nelson. the fact na walking distance lang yung bahay nya. 6:30 sya dumating. pinasakay na nya kami ng boat. nag hintay pa ulit kami ng 1 hour saka kami naka alis kasi bumili pa sya ng krudo at naghanap ng pahinante. sayang yung oras na sana nasa calaguas na kami.

    2nd day pagbalik namin, bago sya umalis nun pagka hatid nya samin sa island, inulit namin sa kanya ng 3 times na sunduin kami at 1pm. we need to go home early kasi may mga work pa kami at duty kagad sa ospital after. 11am pack up na kami at naka ready na. you know what, 4 hours nya kami pinag hintay. SOBRANG TRAUMATIC NG EXPERIENCE NAMIN SA KANYA. kumuha na kami ng ibang bangka pabalik sa paracale and nakasalubong namin sya sa gitna ng dagat around 5pm may dala syang turista papuntang calaguas. umuwi na kami at d namin binayaran yung natitirang 6k na balance sa kanya. 8,000 yung rent sa bangka nyang malaki. humingi lang sya ng 2k nung first daypang krudo daw. sa dami ko ng napuntahan, FIRST TIME KONG NAKA ENCOUNTER NG GANITO.tsk tsk. BOO to you Mang Nelson.

    1. Oh! That is very unfortunate and saddening. I hope Mang Nelson gets to read this. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed Calaguas pa din 🙂

      1. kate ignacio

        oo naman 🙂 super bitin eh! ganda ng beach, parang nasa swimming pool lang :)))

        1. hi kate, sana nag reply ka sa text ko?

    2. talaga lang ha!!!! dapat ginawa mo ng 7;30 ako dumating para siguradong bukas na ung Petron tapos ginawa mo ng dalawang oras kayo naghintay sa bangka,buti ka pa alam mo na walking dstance lang ung bahay ko, sigurado k ba na sa gitna ng dagat nio kami nasalubong? sigurado k rin ba na may sakay akong 2rista ng masalubong nio kami n fact tinawagan p kita at dat time walang signal ang smart s buong Cam norte kaya globe ang ginamit ko pro d k sumagot nag text ako sayo d ka nag reply sinabi ko sa yo kung ano ang dahilan kaya humingi ako ng pangunawa alm ko na may pagkakamali ako pero d ko inaahaan na ang taong kausap ko ay hind marunong umintindi,kaya ito na ang magigng daan para magkaron ng kungkretong patakaran tungkol sa pag renta ng bangka at ligtas na pagllayag d2 sa aming bayan sa tulong ng Philippine Coast guard, local na pamahalaan ay aking kukumbinsihin na ipatupad kung meron man dapat ipatupad para sa ikgaganda ng turismo dto sa aming bayan.

      1. kate

        mang nelson, in the first place kayo ho ang lokal sa calaguas. unang una alam nyo na wala talagang signal sa isla kaya kahit anong sabihin at gawin nyo d nyo kami makokontak. isa pa yung kasabay naming turista nun papunta kami dun sa isla na kakilala nyo eh nauna pa silang sunduin kesa samin kinabukasan. bakit hindi man lang kayo nagpahabilin dun sa kung sino mang pupuntang bangka papuntang calaguas na di nyo kami masusundo? pangunawa ba ka ninyo? hindi lang iisang beses kayo pumalya samin. at kayo pa ang may lakas ng loob mang ganyan. mahiya naman ho kayo. ikinuwento ko lang ang naging experience namin sa inyo. kung naging maayos sana kayong kausap di sana magiging ganito. SORRY ANGEL FOR THIS.

      2. kate

        SORRY ANGEL FOR THIS.

        Mang Nelson in the very first place, kayo ho ang lokal sa camarines norte. alam nyo ho na walang signal sa isla. bakit yan ang idadahilan nyo sa amin? malinaw ang usapan natin na ala una diba? tatlong beses pa namin inulit yun sa inyo dahil baka nga pumalpak na naman kayo. Yun hong kasabay naming bangka na kakilala nyo na may dala ding turista ay nauna pa silang sunduin pauwi the next day. bakit hindi nyo man lang pinasabi sa kahit na sino mang bangkang pupuntang calaguas na di nyo kami masusundo? PANGUNAWA ba ika nyo? eh pumalpak na nga kayo nung una? hinintay nyo pa ang pagbubukas ng petron? alam nyo naman ho na meron kayong turistang dadating sana nung gabi palang bumili na kayo ng krudo! pinabayaan nyo ang mga guest nyo. TAPOS KAYO PA ANG MAY GANANG MANG GANYAN? humingi nalang kayo ng SORRY at wag ng kung anu ano pang sinasabi dahil kayo ang mali dito.

        itinatanggi nyong kayo ang nasalubong namin? eh di ibig sabihin wala nga talaga kayong balak kaming sunduin! grabe! tinatawagan nyo ho ako? alam nyong walang kahit na anong signal sa calaguas? pambihira! sa tagal ko ng nag ta-travel ngayon lang ako naka encounter ng ganito. Ikinuwento ko lang ang nangyari samin. Yun lang. Salamat nalang sayo mang Nelson. Mahala na si Lord sayo.

      3. peachy

        hm? ang pagkakaalam ko po walang signal sa calaguas, kaya pano nyo po matatawagan si kate at pano nyo rin po nasabing hindi sya sumasagot sa tawag sa cellphone na walang signal at kitang kita po kayo ng buong grupo na may pasahero po kayo around 5pm na nakasalubong kayo sa dagat which is 1am andun na dapat kayo sa calaguas. hm? think of it Mang Nelson???wala ho kaming pagsisisi at dudang maganda ang lugar ng cam norte,yung nakausap lang ho namin ang hindi maganda.

      4. teka lang ho mang nelson mawalang galang na. anong klase hong usapan yan na alas kwatro ng madaling pa lng nasa paracale na ho kmi. DALAWANG BESES NAMIN NAKAUSAP ANG ASAWA NYO AT ANG SABI HO AY ALAS SINGKO DARATING KAU NG PARACALE. maliwanag na ho ng alas sais at napagkwntuhan na ho nmin lht na mapagkekwntuhan eh wala padn kayo. sumunod na tawag nmin KAYO NA ANG SUMAGOT, AT SA ORAS PA LANG NA YON KAU PUPUNTA SA PORT, MALIWANAG NA HO SA PAGKAKAALALA KO. mang nelson granted na ndi nga walking distance ung bahay mo sa port pero ung abala at oras ng nasayang nmin dun eh ndi ho kasiya siya. una sa lahat MGA TURISTA HO KAMI AT NDI HO NAMIN INEEXPACT NA GANUN KAYO KLASENG KAUSAP.

        pangalawa, ang pag aantay namin sa bangka ng dahil sa inantay nyo pang magbukas ang gasolinahan eh isa pa naman hong dahilan ng pagiging atrasado ng lakad namin. ni ha ni ho wala ho kayong narinig samin. alam nyo ho yan, PARANG KAMI PA HO NAKISAMA SA INYO, IMBIS NA KAYO SANA HO ANG NANG AALO SA AMIN.

        pangatlo, ang pag iintay ho sa inyo sa isla. makailang beses ho namin ipinaliwanag at ipinaalala sa inyong ala una ng hapon kmi papasundo kinabukasan. ndi man direkta sa inyo cnabi ng lahat pero nabanggit din namin yun sa mga kasama nyong bangkero. alam nyo ho, ang isang oras ng pag aantay ay walang kaso, pero halos APAT NA ORAS KAMING NAG AANTAY SA INYO, ULTIMO TAONG NAKATIRA NA MISMO SA ISLA EH CNUSUBUKAN NG TAWAGAN KAYO. nakakapgtaka lng na ang kasabay naming papunta at paalis eh nasa oras nyo naihatid at nasundo, samantalang kayo din nmn ho ang kausap nmin. laking trauma ho ang ibinigay nyo sa amin na lahat kmi eh nakatingin sa dagat at nag aantay sa wala. salamat na lang tlga at may nakuha kaming bangkang kapalit na dapat sana ay sa inyo.

            katulad din ho ng sinasabi nyo na nanigurado kayo na baka hindi kami dumating, nanigurado lang ho kami na makakauwi kami ng araw na yun kaya kumuha na kami ng bangka dahil apat na oras na ho eh wala pa kayo. bigyan kaya ho namin kayo ng pakiramdam na nag-iintay sa wala at may naghihintay sa inyong trabaho na hindi nyo alam kung makakauwi ba kayo o hindi dahil ang kausap nyo ay apat na oras ng hindi dumarating? hindi ba makakaisip na kayo ng mas siguradong paraan para makauwi at para hindi mawala sa trabaho? just a reflection mang nelson. napakahalaga ho ng oras namin dahil may mga trabaho pa ho kami. isipin nyo na lang, dumating kami ng samen 2am tapos duty pa kami ng 6am. eh kung dumating ho kayo ng 1pm, eh di nakarating ho sana kami samen ng 10pm. wag na ho tayong magsisihan kasi alam na alam na alam naman ho natin sa mga sarili natin dito kung sino ang may pagkukulang.

      kawawa naman kayo… sukat ba naman tawagan nyo ng 4am yung tao. Sa dami mong napuntahan di ka pa nakaranas ng ganun ang swerte mo naman samantalang ako ilang beses ko nang naranasan mag delayed ang flights ko at makancelan ng flights. Buti hindi namin ito naranasan kay Nelson…. first time nyo sa Calaguas siguro.
