Puerto Galera is not all about beautiful beaches. If you are going to visit the place, you will discover a lot of things that is worthy to visit. For more than 1000 reptiles, Paradise Reptile Zoo is a must-see destination that is home to the biggest reptile collection in Asia.

Located at the northern coast of Oriental Mindoro, Paradise Reptile Zoo is a two-and-a-half hectare property offers a true wild experience to anyone who visits the place. It is home to some of the endangered species such as  Black Mambas, Philippine Spitting Cobras and local lizards.

Paradise Reptile Zoo has all necessary permits and inspections from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Protected Area & Wildlife Bureau (PAWB) obtained and completed. They are the largest reptile rescue in Philippines, assisting the Protected Area & Wildlife Bureau in rescuing reptiles and also other wildlife across the country.

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.
