Experience the ride along Pasig River aboard the almost new Pasig River Ferry!!!
Pasig River is in the island of Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines and it connects Laguna de Bay (via Napindan Channel) into Manila Bay. The river is called Ilog Pasig in Filipino. It stretches for 25 kilometers. Eight (8) major bridges connects the north and south banks of Pasig River in Metro-Manila.
The Pasig River Ferry was launched by President Macapagal-Arroyo on Wednesday, February 14, 2007. Five of the ten terminals were already been built and are connected by twin-hulled catamarans 24.5 meters long by 7 meters wide. Each vessel has a capacity of 152 passengers and runs at an average speed of 10 knots.
Highly recommend this tour to everyone, especially Balikbayans! Try it and experience the ride. The Pasig River ferry has twelve (12) stations, starting from Intramuros (Plaza Mexico station), Manila to Pasig City (Kalawaan Station) and 10 more stations in between.
It is open daily, first boat leaves at 6AM. You get to travel in safety and it's comfortable, air-conditioned, too. The ferry departs every 30 minutes. Regular fare: minimum P20 to maximum of P45. The best thing is, no traffic to beat--Guadalupe, Makati City to Escolta, Manila- in just 55 minutes. As of now, there six (6) ferries on the line.
