HOW TO GO TO CARAMOAN (TRAVEL GUIDE)
Why Caramoan can be reached by bus?
Many has been puzzled why and how Caramoan can be reached by land while it is an island. The truth is Caramoan is composes partly peninsula and partly group of islands,which by geographical definition peninsula is an area of land composes almost surrounded by water with a certain portion connecting to the mainland. Thus, enabling the travelers going Caramoan directly from the mainland Luzon specially from Manila.However, most the white-sand travel destinations are located to the congregate groups of island such as Matukad area and Lahuy group of islands area. Most of them are no inhabitants and no man-made structures even comfort rooms to preserve the ambiance of nature's purity.I'll make it very very clear because almost all inquiries has been asking me again and all over again regarding this matter.
Note: You can bring you private vehicle if you want. Otherwise, please refer to our suggestions below when using public utility transport: (Schedule may be changed without prior notice).
Option A.
MANILA-CARAMOAN (Raymond Transport Bus) BETTER OPTION!!!
Manila to Caramoan "direct-land travel" is is now the best choice and the most convenient way if you are travelling from Manila to Caramoan mainland. Fare is more or less P1,000 only depending on the type of bus you want to choose. ETD is 3pm at Cubao Terminal near the crossing of Aurora Blvd - EDSA. Please choose the air-conditioned bus for a faster and more convenient experience. Boat transfers is no longer needed.
Option B.
NAGA -CARAMOAN ( Raymond Transport Bus, MRR, and Florencia Bus) BETTER OPTION !!!
If you are coming from Naga City choosing the "direct-land travel" by bus is now the best choice and the most convenient way of travelling from Naga to Caramoan mainland. Fare is more or less P250 only depending on the type of bus you want to choose. There are available buses such in Naga Central Bus Terminal such as Florencia Bus, MRR, and Raymond Trans. All buses are now fully air-conditioned. You may choose bus for a faster and more convenient experience. Boat transfers is no longer needed. Schedule of buses are more or less 3:30 AM, 6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 12:00 NN, 2:30 PM, and 3:00 PM.
Option C.
MANILA (NAIA 3) - NAGA - CARAMOAN (VIA AIRPLANE)
If you want to travel by airplane, there are also direct flights from Manila to Naga/Pili Airport. The Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Air-Asia flies regularly from Manila Airport Terminal 3. Travel time will take more or less 45 mins. Airfare is fluctuating at an average of more or less P2,000 depending on the season and the time of booking... the trick is that the earlier you book the cheaper rates you'll get. Once you’re in Naga Airport you can take option B or D depending on your own discretion.
Option D.
NAGA -CARAMOAN (Via Sabang port - Guijalo Port)
If you’re from Naga City, go to Van Terminal near the side-front of SM City Naga and take air conditioned VAN Bound to Sabang Port fare is P100/person and travel time is more or less 1 hour and 30 mins. Once you’re in Sabang Port look for commercial boats (Bangka) bound to Guijalo Port fare is P120/person travel time will take 2 hrs. Trips starts and continues more or less 6AM, 7AM, 8AM, 9AM, 10AM and 11AM, with an extra trip up to 2PM but sometimes time not available cause it depends on the volume of passengers only. SO THE SUGGESTED TIME IS ON EARLY MORNING AS POSSIBLE!!! (6AM-9AM) to ensure your travel. If can't take the 9AM trip at least make sure you don't miss the regular last trip around 10AM or 11AM otherwise you may need to charter your own boat for Php2000-3,000 if the 2pm schedule is not available.
Option E.

If you are from Metro Manila, take air-conditioned bus from Araneta Center Cubao or in Pasay City Bus Terminal bound to Naga, fare is ranging from P700-1,000 depending on the type of bus you may choose. Then, once you're already you have 2 options,... you can choose a bus directly to Caramoan and that's more comfortable just follow Option B instructions, or if you want to travel by sea via Sabang Port go to FILCAB van terminal the back of SM Naga and follow the steps above mentioned in Option D.
Option F.
MANILA DIRECT TO SABANG PORT THEN GOING TO CARAMOAN (VIA MB HARRY BOAT)

Then, Once you're in Sabang Port look for commercial boats (Bangka) bound to Guijalo Port fare is P120/person travel time will take 2 hrs.
LEGASPI-CARAMOAN
You can charter a shuttle van directly from Legazpi to Caramoan but its very expensive and the fare is relies on the discretion of the van operators. However you can follow the Option A, B, or D..... just go to Legaspi FILCAB (VAN) terminal or bus terminal and go to Naga City (fare is more or less P200). Then Naga to Caramoan preferably by bus.
MANILA-VIRAC-CARAMOAN (NAIA 3 via airplane) note: this is not advisable if not summer due to strong tide in the channel.
