Private Staterooms are available.]

aircraft. The aircraft are clean, well appointed (leather upholstery! WOW!!) fully certified, licensed and insured AND operated and maintained by professionals. SEAIR operates out of the the Domestic Terminal.
LAND TRANSFERS IN CORON:
The flights leave and arrive ON TIME. Checked baggage limitation is 10 kilograms/person. Overweight will be charged but may not travel on the same flight. If you are travelling with more than 10 Kilos of check-in, make sure you pack the essentials in a smaller "hand carry" bag.
ARRIVAL BY SEA: "SuperFerry One" docks at the Government Pier which is about 1.5 kilometers from theKALAMAYAN INN. One of our staff will meet you at the Pier and transfer you to the INN using our local "Tricycles" (a small motorbike with side car). The trip takes about 5 minutes.
ARRIVAL BY AIR:SEAIR lands and departs from the Busuanga Airport (the only ATO authorized airstrip on BusuangaIsland). The Airport is located in the center of the Yulo-King Cattle Ranch and is 28 kilometers from town. One of our staff will meet you at the airport and will transfer you to the INN with an airconditioned wagon. The trip takes about 35 minutes. During rainy season, the road is sometimes less than perfect and the trip takes a little longer. The road crosses one of the main ranges of the ranch and you will see part of the herd and if you're lucky a real "Filipino Style" cowboy.
