My version of "Your Guide to El Nido"


All I can say was "WOW" I was in awe with the beauty of El Nido. Been to 20 islands and it just cost me 2400php worth of tour fees.

Yay, it's only 2400 for you to be able to see the wonders of El Nido. Oh diba, the "pricey" thinggy tag on El Nido is so wrong!

I will list my expenses below for your reference. Of course it is not 2400 only for the entire trip. We rented a room for 3d2n and spent a lot of food and souvenirs.

Okay, here's my story... magbasa ng mabuti ha... :P



From Puerto Princesa Airport we walked for few meters and hailed a tricycle going to Junction (Just across Municipal Hall)- 20php for two of us

Jeepney ride going to San Jose terminal - 8 php each

Lexus, Fort Wally, Eulens, Roro have different terminals so it is recommended to have a reserved seats for you para the jeepney driver could assist you on which bus stop to go na rin.


We rode on Lexus, they told us they have 9:30am schedule, 8:30 palang andun na kami and it's so hot at maalikabok pa. Came 10:00am waley pa un van!! Grabeh, we left at exactly 10:15. Arrived El Nido MArket - Terminal at around 3:30pm. So it's approximately 5hours drive din.

We had 3 stop over including lunch at Bottega, Roxas.

Sulit un food. 70 pesos rice meal and take note it's a big Lapu-Lapu.



The view outside the store is super nice din.

you will have different stop over if you try different vans



From El Nido Market -Terminal, you just need to ride a tricyle going to your hotel. We paid 20 pesos going to Northen Hope where we have to meet Ate Neriza.

Our place is just few minutes walk from the Bacuit bay. 
we have spotted some foreigners who enjoyed their time swimming in the bay. But it is not that cleaned since this is a docking area for the boats to be used in island hoppings.




Expenses:









In combination tour, you wont be able to see all of the islands but at least un magaganda lang un pupuntahan nio. Un iba kasi pare pareho lang so I would recommend the combi tour if you're on a tight budget and on tight schedule. On our case, we only had 4 days in El Nido that is why we opt to got this and super S.U.L.I.T! :)

CITY OF PINES! This is a biglaan trip, we have decided to spend my birthday in Baguio since ito talaga un first dream destination namin as couple nun mga bata pa kami! hahaha! ang babaw lang..oh well, that was 8 or 9 or 10 years ago. We have been to a lot of places daw pero Baguio lang di pa namin mapuntahan so i-avail na yan biglaan plan na yan! gow! So, mega google naman ako sa mga hotels/places na sikat sa Baguio coz of course it's only a 1night 2 days stay so might as well sulitin na namin un. I thought macacancel pa tong trip na to, kasi super relax si lola mo, I never booked any hotels, un night before our bus trip I do have shift and we dont have DIY ITI yet kung saan pupunta. What I did lang was I printed out some tips and maps from different blog sites so I could read them while on a road. I checked on Victory liner schedule and told myself na every hour naman pala meron trips so keribels na mag walk-in nalang kami! But I was so wrong!! BOOK YOU
