Budget Budget!

  • Hotel Accomodation at Polaris Beach Resort in Saud - P1000.00/room
  • Traysi Tour of Pagudpud - P600.00/traysi
  • Agua Paraiso entrance - P20.00
  • Blue Lagoon entrance - P20.00
  • Pagudpud - Manila bus ride - P500.00
  • Meals - P300.00

How to Get There?

Going to Pagudpud from Manila, Florida Bus Line has a direct trip to Pagudpud daily, its terminal is located in Sampaloc, Manila. Partas, Baliwag, Fariñas and other bus company heading to northern Luzon offer Manila-Laoag trips. From Laoag, it is a two hour jeepney/bus ride to Pagudpud. From Tuguegarao, GMW Liner and Florida Liner trips to Laoag, Vigan or Abra pass through Pagudpud, fare is not more than P250.00. To go to Saud, ask the driver to drop you off at Baduang Market then take a Traysi to Saud.

Tips:

I recommend Polaris Beach Resort in Saud, it is in the same shoreline as the famous Saud Beach Resort but cheaper and the staffs are warm and hospitable. Contact number is 09193078803. Coordinate with Polaris if you are staying with them so they can fetch you at Baduang Market if you arrive at night. If you are a commuter and willing to tour Pagudpud, ask Polaris to contact Joseph, he is the official (somehow) traysi tour of the Polaris, he is kind and accomodating. Transportation from Pagudpud to Laoag is limited after 4pm. Don't miss the sunset. Buses bound to Manila are located in the town plaza, they leave Pagudpud by 7:00pm during offpeak season and 8:00pm during peak season.

Hi, rate in polaris is per room, the room can accomodate up to four persons.

But that was off peak artes,possible na may adjustment dahil peak season ngayon, better call them na lang!
