T’was Saturday afternoon when I decided to go to escolta riverside for a photoshoot, tagged along my brother and nephew with me. After walking and taking photos of the stretch (which made me wonder why the beautification of this place didn’t pushed thru, it would have been a very nice place to stroll) I saw the ferry that crosses the pasig river.

uma-artSeems that the ferry was waiting for us to experience the ride along pasig river and we heed her call and decided to embark on a journey and try the boat ride just for the heck of it afterall we’re just planning to hit the mall after the photoshoot. And boy we never regretted the decision, a wonderful experience to travel by boat in the metropolis! My imagination was running haywire going back centuries ago when the river was still pristine. I’ll post more photos tomorrow, my internet connection is so slow right now.

Here's what the ferry looks like inside, the ferry is airconditioned and there's TV to keep you entertained if you're not interested in sight seeingI highly recommend this tour to everyone, try it and experience the ride. The Pasig River ferry runs from Intramuros - Plaza Mexico, Manila to Kalawaan Pasig. There are 12 ferry stations along the pasig river stretch. It is open daily, first boat leaves at 6AM. You get to travel in safety and it is comfortable, the best thing about it is that there’s no traffic – you can be at Guadalupe from Escolta in just 55 minutes. The ferry departs every 30minutes. Regular fare: minimum of P20.00 to maximum of P45.00

I didn't know na may ganitong ferry ride. I will try this one nga :)
Happy New Year, my dear pusang maganda! :)
curious lang, di ba masangsang sa ilong yung river o nalinis na talaga sya?
This certainly is good information. Will try it when we get the chance during our visits.
Re esteros emptying into Pasig, are there any signs of any dredging being done to make those narrow waterways navigable?
It is good to also see the back of Escolta looking very good.
kung masangsang man, blue, hindi rin naman siguro maamoy once andun kana sa loob ng ferry kasi sarado naman at airconditioned. :D
pusa, ano yung entrecard?
@sasha - yeah please try this, ok na experience :)
@bluep - yep joyjoy is correct, and kahit nun lumabas kami ng ferry... wala naman amoy, ok kc un weather, not sure pag tag-ulan :)
@amadeo - thanks for dropping by, every pinoy should try this at least once, ok talaga sya. yes they are serious in the pasig rehabilitation :)
@joy-joy korek ka jan, entrecard un andun sa sidebar ko, sign-up ka dun dagdag traffic :)
my friend and i rode that early last year, march ata. mas mura pa nun ang bayad kaso lang nakalimutan ko na eh hehehe. napagtripan lang din namin sumakay dun from escolta to guadalupe =) parang freezer ang lamig dun noh?
wow! dunno this ... this a good start! sana nga maalagaan siya... hehehe ganda done with the tag already in my other blog... http://snapcatch.blogspot.com/ please add me too.
Of course it's not a paid post! :D Thanks for sharing this and it sounds like something Thom and I would enjoy.

may ferry ride pala dyan? what's more, yan pala intramuros? ha ha ha, I'm not kidding! never been there..oh craaapp!
I must see more of my country the next time I visit..pasyal mo me, tita P? (^0^)
Wow! Sasakay din ako diyan pag-uwi ko. Tamang-tama, pagkatapos mamasyal sa intramuros diretso na rin ng mall. Salamat sa pag-share nito. :)
I haven't tried this ferry ride yet but I'm sure it's a more confortable trip than a commute from Guadalupe to Escolta. Pasig River is smelly during the summer months...but if you're living in Pinas, what's a little funky odor compared to hours of traffic? :D
meron pla nito
ma try nga pag nakauwi
woof!
Eeeks! I ought to put that into my itinerary when I fly over to Pinas again ... Heehee.
Will be waiting for the photos!
well, it seemed like the river is looking better than I remember. Loads of props for those who were asked to take care of it. I guess improvement is possible afterall.
di ko alam na meron pla nito...is this safe???
Gusto kong i-try wowowowowowowow.
Zaido???
