Travelling from Manila to Daet directly is done by road , either by car, rented van or bus . Unfortunately there are no flights from Manila to Daet. There used to be flights to Daet but they have withdrawn the service now . The nearest airport is 2 hours away in Naga, Camarines Sur.

Both Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific fly there , then just take one of the regular buses or vans from Naga to Daet.

The aircon vans are the fastest method of travel from Naga to Daet but i personally like the ordinary bus, for the experience. Read More: http://daetinfo.com/manila-to-daet/
