The Marcos highway serves as the main road for transport around the area making it a highly accessible destination. As some of the more scenic spots are accessed at lengthy distances through rough road, the most efficient way to get around is through a four wheel drive vehicle. Trying out the Jeepneys and the local tricycles are also experiences on their own, but may not be ideal for fast, efficient transport.

Mobile signal is scarce in the area being a mountainous and rocky location. The Smart mobile network has the best chances of getting reception.
