[edit] By plane

One daily flight from Manila taking about an hour. This is the same and only flight out of Masbate to Manila. Expect a propeller plane.

[edit] By boat

Via Pilar in the province of Sorsogon. By Fastcraft, it is a two hour ride from there, much longer if using other ferry options, which is what most of the people traveling to and from the province use. There are also boats from Lucena in Luzon and Cebu in the Visayas.

[edit] Get around

Transport outside Masbate City is limited to tricycles for short distances and buses for longer distances which make stops at various points along the two lane highway that runs from Masbate City to the western and southern points on the island. Although paved, the condition of this highway at various points may have been allowed to lapse into disrepair, making 4 wheel drive vehicles a more practical option for those who own private cars.
