Most international and domestic flights to Palawan land in Puerto Princesa, about 270 km from El Nido. This van transfer picks you up at the airport or your hotel and drops you in El Nido after 5–6 hours along the coastal road, with a lunch stop.
How it works
- Pick-up at Puerto Princesa airport or your hotel.
- Air-conditioned van with luggage space.
- A halfway stop for food and to stretch your legs.
- Arrival at El Nido terminal or your accommodation.
Who it is for
Travellers arriving in Puerto Princesa who want to go straight to El Nido. A shared seat is the budget option; a private van gives more comfort, flexible timing and stops on request.
What to bring
- Flight number and accommodation address.
- A light jacket (the air-con is strong).
- Motion-sickness medication: the road is winding.
Best time
All year. If your flight lands late, consider a night in Puerto Princesa and leaving in the morning to avoid driving after dark.
