SAILCATION: Traveling to Boracay by Sea with 2Go Travels

Experience Boracay with 2Go Travels

There’s no better way of traveling to Boracay than enjoying good food, great service, and a comfortable bed, all while onboard. Experience a new and exciting way of traveling by sea with 2GO Travels!

I used to think that traveling by sea was uncomfortable and boring because I had to sit back for all those long hours of sailing and wait to arrive at my destination. However, 2Go Travels changed this outlook of mine on sea travel, and here’s why.

Batangas-Caticlan Trip via 2Go

Things were made easy for us when we arrived at the newly renovated port of Batangas. The area was completely organized and far from the usual terminal scene, where everyone appeared to be rushing. This was not the case because we arrived early, perhaps an hour before the vessel we were to board left the port. 

Travelers from Manila can take a bus from PITX bound for Batangas International Port. For an easier itinerary, travelers can also bring their personal transport bound for Batangas.

It’s the off-season, so there weren’t many people waiting in line at the ticket counter. Passenger luggage just had to go through the baggage scanner after ensuring tickets to Caticlan. After waiting for a short while in the passenger waiting area and having the porters take care of our luggage, we were ready to board the St. Augustine of Hippo.

Upon arrival at the lobby, the crew greeted us and assisted us to our room. They just asked for a valid ID from one of us before handing us the key. The state room we stayed in had a king-sized bed, a bunk bed, a small fridge, and a comfortable room with a shower. It can accommodate a family or a group of friends with four members.

It costs P7,376 with 12% VAT to have gold accommodation on the MV St. Augustine of Hippo. The accommodation from Batangas to Caticlan includes a state room and both meals for dinner and breakfast. There are cheaper options for accommodation like a cabin, which is a room with 2 bunk beds, a comfort room. There is also a tourist class and a supervalue.

A Vacation that Begins Onboard
