There is no international airport that
goes directly to El Nido. You can book a flight from Manila to Puerto Princesa
Airport with these airlines: Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines and Air Asia.
There are 2 ways to reach El Nido:
1.Via Puerto Princesa - I choose this route
because of it's short time travel
comparing to Via Coron. There are many buses and vans that can take you to El
Nido. Estimated travel time is 5-6 hours.
2.Via Coron - If you want to go
to El Nido from Coron you can ride big boats and has estimated travel time of 8
hours.
I book my ticket via Puerto Princesa
Palawan with Cebu Pacific when they had their PISO SALE. One month before our
flight, I called some hotels for reservation where we are going to stay and I choose The Alternative Inn
because of it's unique design of their restaurant, the amazing perfect view of
El Nido Bacuit Bay and it's good reviews from travelers around the world. They
offer me a very convenient way of how to get to El Nido faster and much cheaper
by having me reserved a seat of Eulen Joy Express for only 500 pesos one way
per person. It will save your time and budget because they are just located
outside the airport.
Note: Please bring some food and drinks because if you will eat at the stop over it is a little bit pricey.
Our very
pricey meal at Bacuit Grill.
We arrived around 4pm at El Nido Terminal
exactly 5 hours of travel time from Puerto Princesa Airport. I ask
the tricycle driver to take us to The Alternative Inn and we paid him P50.
Arriving at the hotel, I look for
Ms. Myla the very accommodating staff. She gives us our room keys and we
immediately put our things first and go to their restaurant and see the beautiful
view of El Nido Bacuit Bay. They truly have the best view of El Nido Bacuit
Bay.
