Here is'One of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World' Welcome to Puerto Nirvana.


41 World class dive sites, 15 Waterfalls, UNESCO awardee of "One of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World," 26 Beaches, fascinating snorkeling sites and scenes just three hours from Manila. These are only few of the many reasons why Puerto Galera stands out.

Nirvana is the Indian concept of pure liberation of the mind - a state of total bliss or peace. A concept reflected in the form of a resort in one of nature's havens in the tropical paradise of the Philippines,Puerto Galera.
Puerto Nirvana is situated in the hear of Puerto Galera just 300 meters away from the town proper. It promises serenity, natural ambiance, generous and warmheartedstaff, sumptuous food and well- designed rooms. This attractive and well protected beach resort has a panoramic view of nature where you can be calm,take pleasure and have a splendid moment with your kin, business associates and acquaintances.

It's been my pleasure to share the Puerto Galera Travel Tips

Wear SHORTS !!! Don't be like those corporate geeks who needs to be carried by the boatmen coz their office pants will get wet. You will be walking on waist-to knee deep of water when you get to Boracay Island.
Bring Slippers. Tho you can buy them anytime at the market, it still pays to bring those sturdy off-road strap ons. Your plush basketball shoes wont feel and smell right with all those sand in them. Don't think it's not fashionable at the airport either, co'z it is, and security inspectors will love you for not giving them a hard time to look for things in your shoe.
Travel Light. Its best if you can have all your things fit in a backpack. Don't bring your leather luggage, they will get powdery white with sea salt and ruin the leather. Most of the things you need are available at the island store.
Bring your medicines. Common sense huh? It will be tragic if your asthma inhaler will not be available on the island drug store.
Wear light cotton clothes.
Use Credit Cards. At the island, visa and mastercard is widely accepted, and there is even a center where you can get "cash advances in peso". If you're using an international $ card, you will be amazed at how far your dollar can go. (cause you will normally be billed in Philippine Peso)
Be friendly. There is no place for grouchy people in Puerto Galera. The locals, even a 5 year old kid will smilingly greet you "Good morning", when you pass by, it wouldn't hurt to exchange hi's and hello's...it's simply one of the friendliest place in the world.
Buy Souvenirs. Nothing is more annoying than friends arriving from Puerto Galera. without even a single "pasalubong" for you. The market is a sure hit for bargain hunters, small intricately carved and hand painted fishes and dolphins are amongst the favorite.
Get a good package and competent travel agency.
Bring a loved One. Every moment will be best enjoyed if you share it with someone...
