Vilija RI had booked an Express bus with a Deluxe WC, but an ordinary one arrived
The bus was late 30minutes.
I had paid for the Express, which was supposed to reach my destination in 5 hours. Unfortunately, I had to travel for 7 hours, where the bus stopped at every stop.

Camilla MThe drive itself was okay and felt save. But..
They picked me up at my accomodation at 10:30. But before the actually drive to el nido starts we were waiting at least one hours because another guest was late. So we were of course in el nido 1,5 hours later then expected.
Another thing is, that they charged me 500 Php for my suitcase. I knew, that they probably charge me a bit for overweight (maximum 10 kg are allowed) but 500 was quiet a lot and other guests didn't needed to pay extra fees. It was just me. Thats not fair. One other guest has a backpack with more weight than me and didn't need to pay. They should charge everyone with overweight or no one. But not some people yes and some people no.

Jessye DThe driver arrived on time and the communication between myself and one of the operators was excellent - she contacted me via WhatsApp, told me exactly where to go and when the driver would be there. The drive to El Nido was long but we did get a pit stop to use the toilet and buy food and drinks. The standard of driving was pretty crazy and pretty nerve-wracking at times but we made it in one piece. We had a full bus from the start but the driver picked someone else up along the way who sat in the back with 3 others - it looked like a very tight squeeze and pretty uncomfortable. When making the booking, I was asked where I wanted to be dropped off so I named the accommodation I was staying at in El Nido town. We were all under the impression that we were getting dropped off at our accommodation. A Filipino family who were on the bus got dropped off at theirs first just outside of town and then shortly after the driver told the rest of us to get out too and that we had to go the rest of the way via tuktuk which cost an additional 150 pesos. None of us were expecting to have to pay an extra fee as we thought we’d arranged to get dropped off at our accommodations and this wasn’t mentioned at all during the ride. Something to be mindful of when booking.

Anne SWe were picked up at our hotel and dropped at the location stated on the booking. The driver took two bathroom breaks, which was needed on a nearly six hour drive.
However, the van was very crammed and not comfortable. We arrived nearly an hour after what was stated on the booking, even though the driver drove quite fast. The communication was also not great, the person behind the contact number could not even tell me the van license plate the morning of our booking and the van ended up being branded by a different company, which made things confusing. The driver made no effort to speak English and other passengers had to translate for us how long the breaks were etc.

Paul PIt was a good ride. Going via Van is the fastest way from Puerto Princesa to El Nido Center. Airport and Hotel pickup are available. Yes the car is stacked with people but everyone still has his own seat. The legroom could be a little bit better but suffices.

Anna DThe driver used 2 more hours than anticipated to drive til El Nido, because he had to stop the vehicle so many times. He was also smoking weed while driving, which caused the ride to be very bumpy and not that comfortable.

Khaled Pick up point is outside if the airport, u can't take carts out, so if u have heavy bags, that would be an issue.
Pick was was late, my departure time was supposed to be at 7am, i was there 6.30am, untill 8.15 am no one showed, i had a whatsapp number to communicate with someone that kept on telling me driver is on the way for more than an hour! As he was "picking" other people up.
Eventually, another bus came and didnt have my name on the list, but i managed to get on it.
As of the ride, if you're planning on going to Elnido, do your best to try to avoid that drive, very bendy roads, u wont be enjoying the ride at all, even if the ride was private.
I recommend planning to arrive through Elnido airport directly.
