Made accessible via Batangas Port, Puerto Galera in Oriental Mindoro has long been attracting local and foreign tourists alike. From Manila, it would take only 3 to 4 hours to reach this popular beach and diving destination.

Puerto Galera is famous for its dive sites. Sabang Beach features a marine environment that will satisfy a diver’s thirst for underwater experience. A well-represented number of major diving federations offer diving courses from beginner to technical diving. Aside from diving, there are various activities to choose from: Inland Tour includes places like Ponderosa Golf Club, Tamaraw Falls, and Aplayang Munti; Island Tour offers snorkeling, fish feeding, and a visit to Haligi Beach; and Tukuran Tour covers experiencing carabao taxi ride, crossing the hanging bridge, and swimming at Tukuran Falls. Other activities are ATV mud kart, Go Kart racing, paintball, zipline, banana boat, and spa!

Fishing has been replaced by tourism as the primary source of income, bringing with it the establishment of numerous restaurants, bars, shops, and accommodations. Consequently, this has brought about overcrowding problems during peak season, especially on White Beach area.
