HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR LOW-BUDGET EL NIDO

TRIP

• Fly Via Puerto PrincesaThe local airlines in the

Philippines (Cebu Pacific, PAL Express, Zest Air, and Seair) fly from Manila to Puerto Princesa.

Upon arriving in Puerto Princesa, you have to travel by land. There are buses and vans that take passengers to El Nido. The travel time is 5-7 hours so it gives you more time to sleep and gain energy.

There are two other ways to go to El Nido – via direct flights and via Coron. Direct flights are way too expensive while going to El Nido via Coron is also costly because you have to fly to Coron first then pay a couple of thousand pesos to boat to El Nido.
