HOW TO GET TO MASBATE


Via Land and Sea
Via Legazpi City, Albay/Pilar, Sorsogon

1.You can take a bus going to Legazpi City or Pilar, Sorsogon from Cubao Araneta Bus Terminal.
2. However, if you choose to stop in Legazpi City, you still need to take a van going to Pilar Sorsogon at Legazpi Terminal near Pacific Mall.
3. Alight the bus once you get to Pilar, Sorsogon Port.
4. If you need help with your luggages/bags, porters are just around the area or will even ask you if they can carry your bags. I personally hand them 20 to 30 pesos.
5.Pay P15 port fee in the entrance of the port.
6. Go directly to the Montenegro Ticketing Office for your RORO Ticket or Montenegro Fastcraft ticket. Ask for the estimated time of departure of the RORO or Fastcraft.
7. Patiently wait in the waiting area of the port or check some eatery outside the port.

Check bus routes / trips here:

Note: There are also buses in Cubao terminal which rates already include the fare of RORO to Masbate City. However, if you chose not to take the RORO, there are several scheduled Montenegro Fastcraft going to the city as well.
