    There are two ways to travel to Sorsogon. If you do not mind an extended trip which is cheaper, you can travel by land which is the more affordable route. However, if you wish to maximize your time in Sorsogon, you might want to take the plane which costs a little more than a bus trip but would get you to the province in an hour.
