Calapan City is the capital of Oriental Mindoro, the nearest island province to Metro Manila lying approximately 130 kilometers due to its south. A trip to Calapan City from Metro Manila is broken down into three legs, two by land and one by sea.

First Leg

The first leg by land is a trip from your origin to the city of Batangas, which lies 85 kilometers south of Metro Manila. You can take an hourly Tritran/Jam bus originating from Edsa-Kamias or Buendia-Taft terminals. This leg can take between 2-3 hours depending on the traffic.
