YOUR GUIDE
Ryotaro Nagatsuma
NEGROS ISLAND · PHILIPPINES
Hello! I am an avid Japanese black bass angler living in Negros Island for 8 years.
I can guide you all over the Philippines — especially for Papuan blackbass, a fish hidden in this country because of the many local names it is called by.
No problem — just have fun fishing. Enjoy!
ACCESS
Where is it located in the Philippines?
The base is Negros Island, in the central Philippines. There are 2 airports on the island, both with connections from Manila and Cebu:
- Dumaguete Airport (DGT)
- Bacolod Airport (BCD)
What is included
Round-trip transportation from the airport is included in the tour.
Getting here — for international anglers
Easier than you think. Most guests arrive within a day from Australia, Singapore and Southeast Asia.
From Singapore & SE Asia
Direct flights to Manila or Cebu from Singapore, KL and Bangkok (3–4 h). Cebu is the fastest gateway — Dumaguete is one short hop away.
Visa & entry
Nationals of Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and most ASEAN countries enter the Philippines visa-free for 30 days. Just bring a passport valid 6+ months and an onward ticket.
Door-to-door service
I meet you at the airport arrivals gate and handle everything until I drop you back — transport, hotels, meals and fishing. Zero local hassle, no language barrier.
