How To Get There
AIR – There are daily flights into Legazpi from Manila. If you’re feeling like taking the scenic route, you can take a bus from Pasay, Cubao or Ermita in Metro Manila. From Legazpi, you can get a bus or minivan transfer to get you where you need to go. As much as you can, try to get an air-conditioned mode of transportation. If Naga is your port of entry to the region, no problem. You can take a flight from Manila (just know that the Naga airport is really 14km away from Naga), or take a bus from Cubao or Ermita.
LAND – You can also take a bus from Pasay to Daet, or from Manila to Sorsogon.
