BUS RIDE TO EL NIDO

BUS RIDE FROM PUERTO PRINCESA TO EL NIDO

It'll take you almost 9 hours ride from Puerto Princesa to El Nido town proper. The bus ride is very exhausting if this will be the first time you'll travel on a commuter bus. Rough roads and zigzag roads are very common when going to EL Nido. This commuter bus also serves as the "main courier" of the locals. Drivers and bus conductors are very reliable and trustworthy for you can have them deliver your packages right infront of your doorstep.

If you are adventurouos and wants to experience how the locals travel from Puerto Princesa to El Nido, then there's always a commuter bus on the terminal that leaves the city at 4am. And you have to be in the bus terminal by 4 am otherwise you'll have to wait the next day to go to El NIdo. They only have 2 trips a day, One going to El NIdo and back to Pureto Princesa. But if you want the most convenient way to reach El NIdo, there's always a charter plane that you can rent. It'll only take you 15-20min to reach El NIdo but it is way expensive than taking a bus ride with the locals.
