The only airport in Dumaguete is located in Sibulan, just a few meters outside of Dumaguete's territory.

To get out of the Dumaguete Airport, you can take the "pedicab", a taxi, or a van.  Taxis in Dumaguete do not use the meter system. 

Pedicab

Transport from inside the airport's compound charge more so if you have little luggage, is still best to hail a pedicab or a multicab outside the airport compound (approx. Php 30 to Php 50 to the city center).

The Dumaguete Pier is located right at one end of the famous Dumaguete Boulevard. Most ships and ferries depart from this pier.

Pedicabs cannot enter the main compound of the Dumaguete Pier. You will find them all lined up outside the gate. Haggling for a reasonable fare is common but be aware of the official rates.

Under normal circumstances taxi services are not available at the pier.
