If you go to Puerto Galera, you may want to do a side-trip to Tamaraw Falls. Going there is easy, you don't need to hike a mountain to find it, it's right beside the road. It's actually our first time to see a falls in real life, we were amazed and wondered where the water is coming from.
How to get there:
1) From White Beach, you can hire a tricycle that will take you there for P400-500 or take a tricycle going to Poblacion (Bayan), tell the driver to drop you off at the Calapan Jeepney Terminal. Beware of tricycle drivers who will try to extort money from you, the fare should be P25 per person, the first tricycle driver we talked to offered to take us to Poblacion for P100, we talked to another driver who let us pay P60 one way.
2) Board a jeepney going to Calapan City and tell the driver to drop you off at Tamaraw falls, the fare is P35 per person.
There are several stores across the road where you can buy snacks and souvenir items. I wouldn't recommend you buying "pasalubong" there because prices are higher compared to the stores in White Beach. When you look down, from the bridge, you can see a pool, sort of a catch basin of the waters from the falls. You can enter this underground mini-resort for P30. There are cottages where you can place your things if you decide to swim or go picnic.
To go back to White Beach, you can wait for a jeepney going to Poblacion, they come evey hour. Then ride a trike to go back to your hotel. Weird is we paid less going back, P30 per person for the jeepney ride and P50 for the tricycle.
