Other info you need to know for Cagbalete trip planning:
- Buses to Lucena leaves hourly. Aircon bus fare is PHP 215.00.
- Jac Liner Kamias has buses that goes from Manila directly to Mauban. There are just two trips though, 5:00 AM and 1:00 PM respectively.
- Buses from Lucena to Mauban are just ordinary. They also leave every hour. Fare is PHP 60.00.
- Schedules of passenger boat going to Cagbalete daily are 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM ONLY.
- Passenger boat fare is PHP 40.00.
- If you are a large group or if you did not make it to the public boat, renting a private one is an option. But it is pricey. Large boat (good for 20 pax) is ranging from PHP 4500-5000 round trip. I don't have info about smaller ones.
- Mauban market has everything. You may buy your food and goods their for cheap prices.
- Passenger boat from Cagbalete to Mauban schedules are 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM ONLY. Same fare.
- If you don't want to look around Mauban town for pasalubong, you may just do your shopping in Lucena Grand Terminal like we did.
- PHP 1500.00 per pax is enough for a 3D2N getaway here. It already covers everything. :)
Happy planning! ☺
