Car
From Davao City, take the Davao-Agusan Highway (also known as the Pan-Philippine Highway) heading southeast. Continue for about 90 kilometers until you reach the town of Governor Generoso in Davao Oriental. Once in Governor Generoso, follow the signs to Tibanban - Lavigan Road.

Once you arrive in Mati City, take a local jeepney to Governor Generoso (fare around 40 PHP). After reaching Governor Generoso, hire a tricycle to Tibanban - Lavigan Road, which will cost approximately 100 PHP. From there, it's a short walk to Cape San Agustin.
Tricycle
If you are already in Governor Generoso, you can hire a tricycle directly to Cape San Agustin. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand; it typically costs around 300 to 500 PHP depending on your starting point in the town.
