Marinduque from afar at dawn We have always wanted to visit Marinduque during the holy week in time for the Moriones Festival to trace our roots and check with our relatives living in the island. Catching the sunrise at Marinduque We made the trip to the island earlier than planned due to the death of our grandmother.

Zest Air offers flights to Gasan Airport. JAC Liner and JAM Liner offers trips to Lucena - Dalahican Port every 15 - 30 minutes from Kamuning/ Kamias (along EDSA) or Buendia terminal. Normally, trips to Lucena- Dalahican Pier lasts until 11PM except for JAC Liner at Alimall. Unfortunately, taking the plane is more expensive than taking the bus and ferry. We chec...
