PLAN 1:
My Puerto Princesa agent will waitlist you on Soriano. Usually confirmations come within 5
days of departure. State your time of arrival in Manila & if & where you will
stay. If not confirmed on arrival, go directly to Soriano’s Hanger (Andrews Ave.
Pasay) for their 3:30 pm or 7:30 am flight. Chance passengers are not uncommon. If
successful, ask Maris or Myla the Soriano Airport Managers (give them P20) to call Rey or
contact us here on the island via SSB radio 7.990 to collect you from El Nido Airport.
Otherwise take a tricycle ($5) to our town office (20 min.)
PLAN 2:
Golden Passage Seair flights Manila Coron El Nido Puerto El Nido Coron Manila every
Sunday, Tuesday & Friday. Just call us & we'll arrange everything for you. These
flights are cheaper than Soriano & easier to confirm
PLANS 3, 4 & 5:
This is the cheapest way from Manila via Coron (Busuanga Isl.). The MV Salve schedule is
always reliable but not so Bandida in slow season.
PLANS 6, 7 & 8:
The easiest way from Puerto is via aircon bus to Sabang then the Sea Wise or Arlex 3 boat
from Sabang to El Nido. (the Sea Wise is more reliable). There are other boats you can
hire.
If coming via Sabang, Port Barton or Taytay ask the boatman to drop you at Malapacao
(pay extra). You’ll save 2-3 hrs. of delay.
Be patient if travelling by regular jeep, breakdowns are common. |
You can see on the map at
the right that we are on an island across the waters from the town of El Nido, which has
the closest airport to us. We'll collect you at El Nido, and bring you across by
boat. The following plans give you a general idea of how much getting to El Nido
costs, and what the options are. Please note that prices change, and that service
can offer surprises. The following describes access between Manila and Malapacao.
There are 8 plans, each of which is discussed below the chart.
