BIRI ISLAND | How To Get There

I was supposed to take the Cebu City – Calbayog, Northern Samar but I missing the ferry had me take the longer route instead. Below are some of the possible routes you can take depending from you start/jump of point. The guides below will show you points where Allen, Northern Samar is a stop-over because there are no accommodations available at Lavezares, I stayed at Allen instead of Catarman, Northern Samar for the night.

• Dup Tours, D’ Turbanada and Grand Tours are the van transport operators I became familiar with. They have some van terminals, so you get to have your bladder, or meal break.
• You can opt to stay at Catarman, and travel to Lavezares for the Biri Island jump-off.
• If it is your first time to travel from Tacloban, Leyte – Northern Samar, I suggest you take an earlier travel time, and make sure you’re traveling in daylight still.
• This travel notes, and figures were from my trip before ST Haiyan hit the provinces of Leyte, and Samar. But you can work on making it your baseline for budgeting.
• There are available flights to Northern Samar, but should you prefer land, or sea trip, do study other possible routes.
• There are bus lines, and routes that cover Leyte-Samar, you can opt to travel by bus if preferred.
