Land Travel In Region 8

Land travel in Region 8 is different from any other regions in the Philippines. It requires going to one province to another by van (not the typical bus or jeepney ride travel). Well, there are a few buses plying the route but van travel is inevitable if you want to explore Region 8.

Region 8 is composed of the following provinces, namely: Northern Samar, Samar, Biliran, Leyte and Southern Leyte.

These are the van providers, namely: Van-Vans, Grand Tours, and Duptours.
