From Manila, you can travel by plane to Dumaguete in one hour and 20 minutes via Philippine Airlines, whose planes fly to the city twice daily--8.40am and 1.20pm. A one-way ticket from Manila to Dumaguete is usually around Php 3,000.
From Dumaguete City, you can take a Ceres Liner Bus (P20 non air-conditioned, P50 air-conditioned) in Barangay Calindagan. When you’re at Bais City, take a tricycle going to Canibol Wharf or Capiñahan Wharf where you can rent a boat.
Best way to go there, however, is via private van, which will cost around P1,500 or more. You should make arrangements with your hotel or resort and leave as early as 5am.
