How to reach Ilocos Norte?
You can reach Ilocos Norte a lot of ways - it can
be by plane, by bus or by car. So it’s up to you which you prefer to ride that
makes you comfortable and enjoyable as you travel.
Via Bus: Public buses are available day and night.
Several bus companies such as Florida, Partas, Fariñas and Maria De Leon have
regular trips directly bound to Laoag City. Normally, travel time takes around
10 - 12 hours by day and 8 to 10 hours at night. Day trip takes longer due to
traffic along the municipalities and cities that you will pass by.
As a first time visitor to the province, I suggest you take
the day trip as you will see a lot of beautiful sceneries along the way. Choose
also to ride the Deluxe Buses as it has CR inside and the seats can be inclined
and has a foot rest too which lets you relax all the way on your long trip.
Via Car: If you want to experience a long drive and take
an extra challenge to yourself, try driving your car way up to Laoag City.
Private car travel times takes about 8 to 10 hours depending on you and your
colleagues. Sometime it takes you longer since you have all the time to stop
and go. So if you want to take a pee in a gas station, if you want to take a
photo in the sea shore, if you want to buy pasalubong, then it’s good to bring
your car. If you are not familiar yet with the route, you can see the map below.
Via Air: Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and Airphil
Express have scheduled flights daily to Laoag City. I suggest check their
websites time to time to watch out for discount and promo fares offered by
these airlines. Travel time is 45mins approximately.
