The Philippines is primarily accessed through two major international gateways: Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila and Mactan International Airport in Cebu. From Manila, travelers can connect via multiple daily flights to Tacloban City. Alternatively, Cebu offers a range of daily ferry services to various ports across Leyte, providing convenient and flexible access to the region.
From Manila
Several daily flights operated by Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines connect Manila to Tacloban City.
From Tacloban Airport to the Resort
By Public Transport: Guests arriving at Tacloban Airport may take a jeepney or taxi to the Tacloban Bus Terminal. From there, transfer to a passenger van bound for Maasin City. Upon arrival in Maasin, board a jeepney headed to Padre Burgos. Please note that public transport options may become limited later in the day, so we recommend booking an earlier flight if you plan to use this method. The total travel time is approximately 4 to 4.5 hours.
By Private Vehicle: For a more convenient option, we can assist in arranging a private van transfer directly from the airport. The van service charges ₱5,000 for the trip to the resort, with an estimated travel time of 3.5 to 4 hours. Please note that payment is accepted in cash only and should be made directly to the driver.
From Cebu
Travelers coming from Cebu will need to take a ferry to Leyte Island. This route is serviced by several ferry operators with multiple departures throughout the day.
