2013 November, The Long Trip - Philippines, El Nido
If you want to pay less money you need to spend almost the whole day travelling from Puerto Princessa to El Nido.
Once more I traveled to the New Market - San Jose bus terminal for 10 PHP from AA Plaza Hotel by minivan. Every 1 hour there is a bus to El Nido (2 companies provide transport) and the journey is around 6-7 hours long. Most of buses is comfortable with AC. It cost 370 PHP. Other option is to take a minivan which costs between 500 - 700 PHP. You can bargain with driver, they leave once they're full. The way to El Nido is via Corong Corong so if you booked accommodation there you can ask the driver to stop there.
My journey was quite fast and the driver wasn't as crazy as those from minivans:-) On the way to El Nido you have awesome views. I believe it would be worth travelling by Jeepney but I didn't have time to try it. The bus terminal in El Nido is 20 minutes walk or 5 minutes by tricycle from the town. The price is 50 PHP per person for tourists and 10 PHP for locals so if you are good you will pay less:-)
