6 Places to Visit in Mindoro + Things To Do

Mindoro and Puerto Galera have almost become interchangeable for tourists scouting for the best beach destinations in the Philippines. But in reality, Mindoro, the seventh largest island in the country, comprises two different provinces, Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro. And yes, it has more than the white beaches of Puerto Galera to boast.

The Mindoro provinces are accessible via ferry from Batangas, south of Manila, and Caticlan, the entry point for most Boracay visitors. Other attractions in Occidental Mindoro include the Apo Reef, White Island, Inasakan Beach, Mount Iglit-Baco National Park, and Mamburao Beach. For Oriental Mindoro, you should not miss the hidden paradise that is Tukuran Falls, plus Mount Halcon and Aninuan Beach.
