Elavil Tours Pickup Station in Antipolo
The Elavil Tours pickup station is located at SM Center Antipolo Downtown
Marcos Highway, Barangay Mayamot, Antipolo City, Rizal
This location is convenient for travelers coming from Antipolo and surrounding communities who would otherwise need to travel into Metro Manila before beginning their long-distance provincial journey.
Passengers should arrive ahead of their scheduled departure. Since this is a pickup station, boarding procedures may differ from those at a full bus terminal.
If you are unfamiliar with the location, allow extra travel time for traffic along Marcos Highway and surrounding roads.

The earliest trip listed from SM Center Antipolo Downtown departs at 11:00 AM

The assigned bus is a 2×2 air-conditioned bus.
This trip is particularly useful for travelers heading farther south toward Sorsogon and onward to Northern Samar.

Bus type:Â 2×2 AC with CR
This service provides an air-conditioned option with an onboard comfort room, which can be particularly useful on a long overnight provincial journey.
The number of listed destinations also makes this departure useful for passengers whose final stop is somewhere between the major cities rather than at the end of the route.
If your destination is one of the intermediate towns, confirm with the booking staff that your chosen trip will make the appropriate stop on your intended travel date.
Premium Elavil Tours Trip from Antipolo
For travelers who prefer a more spacious seating configuration, the schedule lists a premium 2×1 air-conditioned bus with CR departing at 5:00 PM.
The destinations shown are Naga – Iriga – Nabua – Legazpi – Cumadcad – Sorsogon – Gubat – Bulusan.
A 2×1 seating configuration generally provides fewer seats across each row than a conventional 2×2 layout, giving passengers a different seating arrangement for the long journey.
Passengers interested in this departure should check availability early, particularly before weekends, holidays, long weekends, school breaks, and major festivals when provincial bus demand can increase.

Traveling from Antipolo to the Bicol Region
The addition of an Antipolo pickup point can simplify travel for passengers living east of Metro Manila.
Instead of traveling toward Cubao before starting the provincial journey, eligible passengers can board at SM Center Antipolo Downtown for the listed services.
This can be particularly helpful for passengers traveling to Naga, Iriga, Legazpi, Sorsogon, Matnog, Gubat, and Bulusan.
For families carrying luggage, students returning to their provinces, workers traveling home, and tourists visiting Bicol, reducing the number of transfers before boarding a long-distance bus can make the overall journey more manageable.
However, passengers should confirm whether SM Center Antipolo Downtown is the originating terminal or a pickup point for their particular service, as this can affect boarding procedures and recommended arrival time.
Antipolo to Naga City by Elavil Tours
Naga is one of the most frequently listed destinations in the schedule.
According to the supplied timetable, Naga appears on the 3:30 PM, 4:30 PM, 5:00 PM, and 6:30 PM departures.
This gives Naga-bound travelers several afternoon and evening options.
The available bus type varies by departure, so passengers can choose based on the scheduled service available that day.
The 3:30 PM trip is listed as non-AC, while later trips include air-conditioned buses with comfort rooms and a premium 2×1 option.
Antipolo to Legazpi Bus Options
- 4:30 PM – 2×2 AC with CR
- 5:00 PM – Premium 2×1 AC with CR
Passengers traveling to Legazpi therefore have at least two options shown in the supplied schedule.
The 4:30 PM trip also serves Bato, Oas, Ligao, Camalig, Guinobatan, and Polangui, while the 5:00 PM trip continues toward Sorsogon, Gubat, and Bulusan.
Always specify Legazpi as your destination when booking so the staff can confirm the correct trip and boarding details.
Antipolo to Sorsogon, Gubat, and Bulusan
Several services continue beyond the central Bicol destinations toward Sorsogon.
The schedule lists Sorsogon on the 3:30 PM, 5:00 PM, and 6:30 PM trips.
Meanwhile, Gubat and Bulusan are shown on the 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM departures.
The 5:00 PM service is the premium 2×1 AC bus with CR, while the 6:30 PM service is a 2×2 AC bus with CR.
For passengers heading to southern Sorsogon, confirming the exact drop-off point is especially important. A destination may refer to a municipality, designated roadside stop, terminal, or another authorized unloading location.
Antipolo to Northern Samar
The destination list also includes several locations in Northern Samar, including Catarman, Pambujan, Rawis, Mapanas, Catubig, Las Navas, Allen, Lavezares, and Palapag.
The detailed schedule specifically shows an 11:00 AM trip serving Matnog, Rawis, and Catarman.
Passengers traveling to the other Northern Samar destinations shown in the general destination list should contact Elavil Tours or use its booking platform to check which departure serves their specific location.
Long-distance journeys to Samar may involve additional operational considerations because of the land-and-sea portion of the trip.
Elavil Tours Bus Types
One advantage of the Antipolo schedule is that it lists the bus configuration assigned to each departure.
The available services shown include Non-AC, 2×2 AC, 2×2 AC with CR, and Premium 2×1 AC with CR.
For passengers traveling long distances, an onboard comfort room can be an important consideration. The premium 2×1 arrangement may also appeal to travelers who prefer a different seating configuration.
Keep in mind that bus assignments can occasionally change because of maintenance or operational requirements, so confirm the unit type if it is an important part of your booking decision.

- Travel date: Correct departure date
- Departure time: Your selected trip

How Early Should You Arrive?
For provincial travel, arriving early is a sensible precaution.
Passengers should give themselves sufficient time to locate the designated Elavil Tours boarding area, confirm their booking, organize luggage, and complete any required boarding procedures.
This is especially important during holidays and other high-demand travel periods.
Traffic around Antipolo and Marcos Highway can also vary considerably, so avoid planning your arrival too close to the listed departure time.
What to Bring for a Long-Distance Bus Trip
A trip from Antipolo to Bicol or Northern Samar can take many hours, so preparing before departure can make the journey more comfortable.
Bring your valid identification, booking confirmation, essential medication, phone charger or power bank, drinking water where permitted, light snacks, and a small personal bag containing items you may need during the journey.
Keep valuables, identification, money, gadgets, and important documents with you rather than placing them inside checked or stored luggage.
For overnight travel, a light jacket can also be useful because air-conditioned buses can become cool during the journey.
