The efforts of the municipal government to concrete the roads within its 37 barangays make it possible for most of the municipality’s existing tourism establishments to be accessible to tourists all year round using an ordinary vehicle, since nearly all of them could be reached by land. The Rainbow Junction, which serves as gateway to Pinamalayan’s urban core, can be found alongside the Strong Republic Nautical Highway, while the Pinamalayan Theme Park, which houses other cultural and historical landmarks like Dambana ng Kagitingan and Filipino-Chinese Friendship Arch, is just approximately 0.07 kms away from the SRNH.

Pinamalayan is located approximately 79 kms (or about a little over an hour's drive) from Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro's capital. It straddles the Strong Republic Nautical Highway, and is thus easily accessible by land.
From Manila, one can take a bus to Batangas Pier. From there, you have the option to take the Supercat fastferry service (1.5 to 2 hours trip) or the more scenic RO-RO (Options: Montenegro Lines, Starlite Ferry, or Baleno; 2 to 2.5 hours trip). Upon disembarking at Calapan Port, public transport vans (Options: PVANS, Yellow Van, Spearhead) are available to safely take you to Pinamalayan.
