Puerto Galera, Port of GalleonsRich in history, the beautiful little harbor town of Puerto Galera (pop: 22,000) is renowned among adventure travelers and scuba divers as a spectacular, world-class scuba diving destination and one of the world's last great travel bargains. Much more than just another "eat-sleep-dive" package tour destination, Puerto Galera offers adventuresome travelers a truly unique travel experience unspoiled by the predictable flotsam of overdevelopment, chain hotels and mass tourism. It's only 130 kilometers south of Manila — three hours by Dive VIP's air-conditioned limo and fast boat transfer — but Puerto Galera is a world apart, a true escape to another place and another time. |
