About
About Balanacan
Balanacan is the northern port of Marinduque, the round island in the middle of the Philippines, with 13 sailings running almost around the clock — 00:01 to 22:30 — on the two-hour crossing to Lucena in Quezon province. Montenegro Shipping Lines and Starhorse Shipping Lines both work it. Marinduque has no airport with regular service, so this route and its neighbour at Cawit carry everything and everyone. The island is best known for the Moriones festival at Easter, when the ferries run at capacity for several days. A second Marinduque port at Cawit takes the same Lucena route, so travellers should confirm which one their ticket names before boarding a bus.
