Oriental Mindoro is a real-life paradise–white sand, crystal clear water, lush green forests covering majestic mountains, and splendid waterfalls. One can find leisure and pleasure amidst a gorgeous natural landscape that has given each of guest a fun-filled and relaxing trip over the years.

Enjoy leisurely treks to many of the inner destinations of the island, dense forests, and the famous Mt. Halcon. Climb its peak to obtain sweeping panoramas of the Mindoro's land and seascapes. The province also offers scouting, hiking and camping, having retained most of its wilderness.

Mindoro Oriental has many islets, which can provide excellent venues for family outings and picnics. The province's elongated coastlines harbor coral reefs teeming with marine life of interest to snorkelers and clear blue water for swimming enthusiasts.

The province is also perfect for birdwatching activities of local and migratory species, and is home to mammals like the Tamaraw, an endemic straight-horned water buffalo, reptiles and plant species found nowhere else. Oriental Mindoro is also called and known now as the LUPAIN NG MAHALTA. Tamaraw (TA), various flora and fauna found on slopes of Mount Halcon (HAL) and the native Mangyans (MA), all together add vibrancy to the colors and the richness of nature and culture of the province.

Venture to Oriental Mindoro

Oriental Mindoro can be reached through land and sea transport. From Manila, take the Batangas-Laguna-Tayabas (BLTB), Tritran, and other Batangas-bound buses to the Batangas City pier. From there, take the super ferry boats bound for Calapan, which has several trips per day, or those bound for Puerto Galera. A roll-on-roll-off (RO-RO) ferry is convenient for those wishing to take their private vehicles.

In Mindoro Oriental, a number of jeepneys ply the capital from the neighboring towns and to the interior. Due to ongoing infrastructure development projects all over the province, access from the capital to some  municipalities is difficult.
