If or when you take a vacation to enjoy our famous historical and ecological attractions including the notable coral reefs and mangroves, and to invest in our coastal, hilly and mountainous city as well as the rest of Southern Leyte, you can reach us when you take a flight from the Manila Domestic Airport to Tacloban City, the capital of northern Leyte. From Tacloban airport, you can ride one of the passenger vehicles to take you to the taxi van or bus stations in Tacloban City. The vans and buses will depart from early morning up to evening bound for Maasin City, the capital of Southern Leyte. The van or bus ride along the straight and zigzag concrete highway from Tacloban City to Maasin City takes about 3 to 4 hours.
