HOW TO GET TO MANIWAYA ISLAND FROM MANILA? Option 1 VIA DALAHICAN PORT 1. Take bus (Jac Liner) going to Lucena City bound to Dalahican Port.
You can check their daily trips here. 2. Board a ferry (RORO) from Dalahican Port Lucena going Balancan Port Marinduque. 3. From Balancan Port ride jeep/van going to Sta.Cruz Proper Marinduque. 4. Take Trike going to Buyabod Port 5. And then board boat going to Maniwaya Island. Last trip is 10:00 AM Option 2 VIA GEN LUNA PORT 1. Take bus (Jac Liner) going to Lucena Terminal then ride a van going to Gen Luna Port 2. Board a boat going to Maniwaya Island (Contact: Lucky 7: (0950) 277 2156 ) We took the option 1 going to Maniwaya Island and it took us 12 hours to get there. So I suggest you guys to take the option 2 via Gen Trias Port because it's less hassle.Just make sure to be at the port before 10 am to secure that there are still boat going to Maniwaya Island. Or if you're going by group, just rent a boat. WHERE TO STAY? Wawie's Beach Resort Contact : Kuya Warlie Constantino 0921-369-5359 Here's their Facebook account.
