IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you enter the port people will ask you if your vaccinated, then they direct you into line to buy travel insurance. They act like it's required to enter the port, but if you read the port security signs it clearly says that the insurance is not required. SO, the company selling it is kind of a scam. DO NO BUY THE INSURANCE. It is not needed and is a wast if money. The port itself is a very nice facility. New and modern. Well organized. Helpful staff. They have free charging stations for your cell phones and free drinking water. Bathrooms were clean. Someone was there cleaning every time I went to use it. Lots of seating. 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's nice that they have this parking space where you can leave your car when you go for travel. It's like the Park and Fly in Manila. After 3 days, we returned and the car is still in good condition. So it's safe to leave your car here. For that 3 days, we paid around 576 pesos. In that parking space there is already nearby entrance for the main building where you'll buy tickets. As you enter that building, they'll gonna check your bags. The place is big, clean and well-lit. After buying tickets and enter the waiting area, like in the airport, you'll need to scan all your things in the scanner. They have chairs here where you can sit while waiting for the announcement of boarding.

This review applies to people that are using public transportation going to the port or the people dropped off via port gate. Upon arriving, there will be people who will approach you before you enter the gate. They will direct you to a small booth that offers insurance. Ignore them and do not hand them your bags as they try to assist you. The insurance they sell is not mandatory. Proceed to the yellow gate right away. The path will lead you to the terminal. Inside, there's a line of ticketing booths for different ferrys. Buy or present tickets for confirmation. Next, go to a booth where you will pay for the terminal fee (P30). After, you may proceed to the waiting area for your scheduled trip. Overall, the place is clean and maintained. There's a big screen for boarding schedules. Washrooms are clean. The entire terminal runs on air-conditioning. Food stalls are available too. What I just didn't like is the insurance booth just outside the gate. The idea of people leading you to the booth feels like a scam. Avoid and DO NOT PAY. The port authorities should know better

It's been thirty years since I last went to this port, and I'm amazed at the changes. It's like an airport now, albeit a bit (understandably) wet. The process of boarding is also very organized.

signage to add.

Yes sir but I don't think it from you have delivery commitment for the materials for the next week or you can come to the store and get the materials for the said he had my way home now and then we can 🥫 you have delivery commitment today and tomorrow is a good idea to get a printed copy of the road trails in the said sites for the next week or so but I don't think 🤔

Dirty sidewalk for the passengers coming in and out of the port. Upon entrance, you need to pay 20pesos fee (idk what is that for) I told them that I will just drop off my mom and her friends.. still they ask me for a fee. The fee is really not an issue if their surroundings is clean and you can see where the fee will go to.

We arrived at Batangas pier from the bus that left PITx at 5:30pm. We are bound for Occidental Mindoro. The bus driver advised for us to eat dinner at a local carinderia while waiting for the RoRo to allow us to board. The pier has several available seats for passengers. This is a late night travel to Occidental Mindoro, hence, there were only a handful of passengers. The seniors and parents with small children were allowed to stay in the bus and the rest of the passengers have to go through security until we boarded the RoRo.

It would be nice if they had more stuff to do while you're sitting around waiting for the ferry, like vendors selling food or other things to do. Otherwise it's a very nice place with nice aircon and my seats. It's very clean and a fine place to wait for the boat.

The terminal has definitely changed. It is huge with an airport-like quality. Very clean and comfy as well. Their comfort rooms have bidet. It really is modern compared to it's previous counterpart.

the new terminal building is huge, well ventilated, hundreds of seats, giant information board for great visibility. ticketing booth and terminal fee booth are right beside each other. ample space for park and sail and reasonable parking fees ( 155php / 24 hrs as of this writing)

Upon arriving at the port,lots of people will approach you,instead of guiding you to the right way they will bring you to the scammer and asked you to pay 50 each,please be aware that you need not to pay them,go straight where the guard is,ask only to the uniformed men dont ever talk to the people out of the port..

While waiting on Fast track boat going to Puuerto galera Mindoro

First time going there as an adult. Everything is efficient and the staff are friendly. The place is clean and is worthy of being visited by tourists and foreigners. The waiting area is huge. They have a prayer room, mother's room, clean toilets, and charging stations. The place is very secure. They check everything, so you know you'll be traveling safely, too. Amazing job, Batangas!👏👏👏 👍👍

It's a port in batangas that has route to calapan, culasi and many part of southern Luzon(Mimaropa) and Northern and western part of visayas

Nice New Terminal But ferry company system Bulok pa din. Online ticket purchased is available but Just to check in and get a seat # took us 2hrs++ Ferry is new and fast Need to a lot to improve the system.

Its better than some years ago, but still a construction area and outside its like wild west country. Many pushy scammers, fixers and dealers outside the entrance gate who try to sell you overpriced tickets with lies and tall tales. Sometimes they even try to snatch your luggage out of your hand, supposedly to help you, very pushy, very unpleasant. They should give more attention for new arriving travellers so they can find the entrance gate and are safe and protected before going in.

Once you arrive at the port, "porters" will be rushing towards you to offer help but some of them just wants you to buy kakanin from their shops... To avoid them or if your running late, from the bus, just follow the usual people going to the terminal...if you need to ask, ask the guards or the safety officers in their reflective vests...☺️💪😄

I like the new build Batangas port, now, I feel secure, and comfortable, and have much more time to rest as well while waiting for departure.

World Class Port in the Philippines! Wide choices of ferry boats and fast crafts! Enjoy the ride!

I hope the management can do something about the porters and fixers. They would just suddenly grab foreigners’ baggages or staffs and would offer help. The innocent foreigners would gladly walk and follow them. When they had already led them to the ticket area and sold them tickets they would then assist them at the entrance's security. And after that they would ask for money. Sometimes 50 pesos per baggage. These things happen also in other ports such as Muelle, Sabang, Puerto Galera.

I love the modern port especially the waiting area with big monitor near the gates. I hope they add more signs near the entrance tho also why not add the terminal fee directly to the ticketing booth?

They have very strict crews(the guard on gate port which we can see on the video) they are just finger pointing and Don't instruct which if you are new on the place and don't know where you are going, they will shout out you and their faces looks angry. Port is lacking of directions and instructions inside before getting on the ship.

The port was airconditioned and there are great places to eat and wait for your ferry. It had a great improvement since I was last there.

It's a really spacious and grand looking port. It feels like you're going overseas with how everything is designed; it also have food establishments inside so you won't go hungry while waiting in line if there is.

Not organized yet. Opportunistic humans are everywhere.

Time to leave the ship. So much delay in the expected time.

Nice view and so clean shoreline

We arrived earlier than our trip schedule (December 2023) with my friends bound to Calapan, Oriental Mindoro. It was our first time and we were shocked when we saw the very long queue line going inside the port. Our trip was scheduled for 3 PM but we arrived at almost 1 PM. We endured the very long line while being toasted into direct sunlight. It was unbearable and one of my friends got scammed (be careful to those people who will offer to assist and guide you then afterwards, they will ask you to buy their goods as a payment for what they did especially to those who will travel for the first time by port, kindly tell them that you can do it without their "assistance" tho we were able to resolved the issue) The port from the inside was big and spacious enough, they have free charging stations, multiple stores to buy goods, and the ticketing booths (tho I highly suggest to buy/book your tickets via online to prevent the hassle of going in-line again to buy it) Some staffs were accomodating except to the lady that we asked about our trip, we were yelled, that was a bad customer service experience. All in all, it needs more improvement, specially the queue line going inside. :>

I am impressed by the newly renovated Batangas terminal port. It's big and ready to accommodate big crowd. But as a seasonal traveler, my concern for this port is the way going inside the terminal. A big sign should be posted how to get inside the terminal.

I liked the new port now! Very clean and little feel cozy almost like the pitxt. They also have free charging area which very helpful and of course the 'Free!' Hot and Cold water!!!

Everywhere was spacious, particularly the ticket area and the seats. There weren't a lot of stalls open but they were still good to have.

the port is well maintained and decent; however the ticketing is very slow. the queue is very long and is moving too slow. we waited almost an hour to reach the counter just to be told that there's a bad weather warning so boats are not boarding. we have to wait another hour and get in another queue again. as for the price, we'll it varies depending which boat you're boarding and which seat; but surprisingly even after paying for a specific seat that cost a different amount, they're gonna tell you to just sit in any available seat when you're boarding. so everyone just sit anywhere.

I would say that the Port of Batangas serves the travelers so well, from ticketing windows, ticket checking, waiting area and guiding the passengers to the boat. Very systematic. The facilities are nice and clean.

First time coming and dropping a friend here. I must say, it looks like an airport terminal or Even better. Place is clean, organize and very pleasant. Im sure tourist would really appreciate going here. Its a far cry what i imagined a port would be. I hope all ports in the philippines would be like this. Keep up the good work batangas. I hope to come again here soon.

A modernized terminal and pier which boasts efficiency and progress. 1. All the ticketing booths are all in one place, but you can experience long lines and terrible services sometimes. 2. After getting your ticket, you will pay 30 Pesos for the terminal fee. 3. There are also homegrown restaurants where you can buy local food and stuff. There are also commercialized establishments such as Shawarma Shack, Mister Donut, and the Coffee Bean. 4. Once you enter the terminal itself after checking your baggage, you can see the big screen to check your trip schedule and boarding gate. You can also get your water free and charge your phones while waiting because they have electric outlets everywhere. 5. You might have to wait for 30 minutes to 1 hour before you can board. There are also delays that might inconvenience you.

I must say. New and improved Port of Batangas. With free water refill inside the waiting area. Decent toilet. Though still under improvement, aircon on certain areas are not cold. And i don't think there are enough seating area during peak season.

New Batangas Port, feels like airport setup. You need to scan your QR code printed on the ticket to enter the departure area. Since it's new there are still room for improvement, only one big screen to monitor your scheduled trip. They have cold water station for free.

The new port is clean and spacious, inside stores are available 24/7 and bus access to manila too. Ask the friendly guards at the port to be assisted. Montenegro fare is at 428, discounts are applicable just show some ID's. Student discount is around 320+. P.S. Outside yellow gate is open for passengers and I highly suggest not to pay for any insurance at the gate. This is not necessary to enter to the port.

Very nice port. Somewhat like an airport terminal with very huge waiting area and display monitor.

BATANGAS IS NICE PLACE WITH EARTH MOTHERS ALL WEALTH GOOD FRIENDLY PEOPLE OUT THERE I LIKE TO LIVE THERE IN MY OLD AGE

didnt let us in the terminal even we paid for terminal fee which is Php30 until 2pm hope the management see this and correct the issue PS there's a lot of scammers outside and forcing passengers to buy their overpriced "pasalubong"

Not that much to offer more than a Typical type of public port. Many parking spaces. With a lot of food stalls inside. Cold aircon. Accessible WiFi. Clean restrooms. Easy to look/get around. But the port is being renovated as of the moment so there are a lot of better expectations.

It's so nice in here. Well maintained facility and air-conditioned.

Port authorities are rude

Its neat

connects people all the way from different islands in the philippines 😍

Abusive porter and security guard and they didn't follow file of line in the system

Easy to go out side of the pier.

A gateway for those leaving Luzon.

Been getting on a ro-ro from here to Occidental Mindoro a lot. Port's got passenger terminals where you can stay in an airconditioned building while waiting for your ship to board. Got some shops as well that sell food, trinkets, and whatchamacallits.

Very good and clean port of batangas city

Is the port and busses going to iloilo operational? And what is the Requirements?

port

Good,

Before, it was well organized..but last Nov.30, 2020 we struggled in our travel. Officers were not around, no one was there on the terminal fee booth, and the guards don't know what to do. There were some payments also for our luggages which was too expensive. Once we went down from OWWA bus, people immediately grab our bags, helping us but pushing us as if we were artists??? I suggest that the mqnagement should look to this matter, people were desperate now.. God bless you all.

So far due to covid people are limited inside terminal area. Good if you have your own vehicle

Batangas port

Only travellers can enter the Port facilities. Those accompanying them aren't allowed inside perhaps to control the movement and number of people inside to manage Covid 19.
