Traveling via Tablas Airport is the quickest way to reach Romblon Island. From Manila, it’s just a one-hour flight, followed by a two-hour transfer to our resort. You’ll arrive in the morning, giving you plenty of time to enjoy scuba diving on the same day. If this option works for you, we recommend aligning your international flights with AirSwift’s schedule, as flights to Tablas are available only three times a week.
