El Nido is a town in the northern part of Palawan which encompasses 45 islands in Bacuit Bay. It is popular for white sand beaches, snorkeling and diving sites, and steep karst cliffs. Although famous, reaching this tropical paradise can be quite a challenge to travelers because of its remoteness.

There are several ways to reach El Nido and here are four of them.
Direct Flights. El Nido has its own airport (Lio Airport) but its short runway prevents many airlines using relatively big planes to land here. Airswift provides direct flights to El Nido but tickets are expensive (compared to other destinations in the country) many of the time. An off-peak one-way fare is at P5100 (including taxes, a meal in Manila, and welcome snacks El Nido). An additional P200 is collected for 10kg baggage allowance. There are also other companies providing chartered flights but the rate might be a little too much for numerous travelers.
Via Coron. You may also consider flying to Coron. From there, take a Montenegro Fastcraft to El Nido. travel time: 4 hours. The boat leaves Coron at 12nn and arrives in El Nido at 3:30pm. Fare: P1760.
Via San Vicente Airport. San Vicente is the municipality next to El Nido. It has a newly opened airport. From Manila, you can fly from Clark to San Vicente Airport.
Via Puerto Princesa Airport. From Manila, there are several low-cost flights to Puerto Princesa City, the Palawan capital. From there, there are buses and vans that can take you on a road trip to El Nido. travel time is five to six hours.
This post focuses on the PUERTO PRINCESA route.

There are a lot much more van companies plying the Puerto Princesa-El Nido route, but the four above are the most prominent.
Travel time is typically 5-6 hours. based on experience, these vans are fast. That’s both a good thing and a bad thing. I in some cases find myself saying a silent prayer in the middle of the journey. and I’m not even religious!
Fare is typically between P550 and P600. However, Fort Wally in some cases brings the cost down to P450 when they have a promo. Locals typically get a discount.
Some of these vans don’t leave until they’re full. but it doesn’t take that long these days.
DayTripper charges more. At P875-P975 per trip, DayTripper goes the extra mile by picking up and dropping off passengers in front of their hotel, instead of the terminal. They are also known for their outstanding service (with seatbelts!), and they only need 5 passengers to go.
All van journeys stop halfway for a quick restroom and snack break.
PUERTO PRINCESA TO EL NIDO BY BUS
The bus is another option. It’s my preferred option, actually. Buses are much more comfortable now than before, much more comfortable than the vans (at least in my opinion). larger legroom, cooler temperature, and just bigger breathing space overall. Haha. The downside: it’s slower, taking 6-7 hours. and there are fewer journeys per day. but if you’re not in a big hurry, it’s a terrific option.
To travel to El Nido by bus, you should first make your way to San Jose Terminal!
PUERTO PRINCESA airport TO SAN JOSE TERMINAL
Walk to the gate of the airport.
Hail a tricycle and ask to be taken to San Jose Terminal. Fare is P120 per ride. Split the cost if you’re a group. Alternatively, you can take a trike+jeepney combo, which is cheaper. but because I’m guessing you have heavy bags in tow, just go straight to the San Jose Terminal.

Benim gibi minibüsün sol tarafındaysanız, ağaçlar örtüldüğünde saklam ve arayın ve her seferinde onları ortaya çıkaran deniz ve diğer adacıklar hakkında müthiş bir manzaraya sahip olacaksınız. Bizim için mağazada bir göz atmak harika bir deneyim oldu!
El Nido’ya varıyorum
Keşfettiğim ilk şey, sessiz kasabayı çevreleyen heybetli kireçtaşı kayalıklarıydı. Şoförümüz bize çantalarımızla yardım ederken, bu büyük duvar dağına sanki tanrılar tarafından kazınmış gibi aşık olmakla meşguldüm. Duvardaki delikler kusur değildi, kuşlar bir oyun alanında koşan küçük çocuklar gibi kuşlar içine ve dışına uçarken yaşam belirtileri idi.

Eşyalarımızı alır almaz, bizi otelimize götürmeyi sağlayan üç tekerlekli bisiklet şoförlerine yaklaştık.
“Başladı,” dedim, üstümde yükselen bu büyük uçuruma bakarken. Her zaman istediğim mola, “başladı.”
