Weekend in Marinduque (2 days, Boac base)

The classic Friday-evening-arrive, Sunday-afternoon-leave plan.

2 days PHP 4,500–6,500 / person weekenders couples

If you're doing Marinduque as a long weekend out of Manila, this version keeps the travel realistic. RORO Friday night, Boac and nearby Gasan on Saturday, then a port-friendly Mogpog north loop on Sunday before the ferry back.
