Ooooh. I'm currently backreading (multi-tasking daw ba LOLS); we're given 5D4N in Palawan. I reaaaaally appreciate every information I get from here.

I wonder kung okay to:
Day 1: PP, 2pm dating, 6pm bound to EN
Day 2, 3, 4: EN, day 4 @ 6pm bound to PP
Day 5: PP, 1pm uwi

Then modify ko na lang itinerary from here, day 2 for island hopping and days 3 and 4 for relaxation (kasama ko dad ko so I don't think he will enjoy island hopping):

I'm still looking for options (Honda Bay, Coron, El Nido, etc) since first time ko mamasyal sa Palawan. Nung na-assign ako sa Rio Tuba, I was really awed by the sceneries I see sa ere. (Nakiusap talaga ako dati na i-land ako sa PP but they refuse it. Ewan ko ba kung bakit. T_T)
Hope weather will be good there on November.

Is it advisable to wear a rashguard during the tours, o pwede namang swimsuit na lang?

[bebeloo]

^depende sis kung season ng jellyfish. pero mga foreigners naka 2 pc lang. haha

We were there last March at walang Jelly fish so carry na carry na mag swimsuit lang. hehe

For my own El Nido story and Expenses breakdown, you can visit my personal blog

@ nettai

If you want to do island hopping, El Nido na lang, huwag na Honda Bay kasi wala ka naman gaano makikita dun. Traveling to Coron from El Nido takes around 6 hours by boat and it only travels 2x/week.

Just my two cents.

[yang.yang]

hi sissies, ano ba yung mas magandang piliin. Tour A, B, C or D ? tia

[bebeloo]

^ A&C

[rlin lang]

ano po ba maganda itinerary for PPS and El Nido?

suggestion naman po para ma mazimize stay namin

[hisana]

Sis bebeloo, i checked out your blog, ang cute naman ng rashguard nyo.  Ganyan hinahanap ko  . Someone advised me to wear something more than just a bikini for added protection daw, so napaisip naman ako kung ano ba pwede mangyari, LOL. Though I've seen a lot of el nido pics of other people, parang madami pa rin naman naka swimsuit lang. Nagdadalawang isip din kasi I've never worn a rashguard before, parang hindi sanay yung arms ko, LOL.

kami rin, swimsuit lang. tapos the whole time, or instructed ng tour guides to wear lifejackets.

hi mga sis...my hubby and I will be travelling in El Nido end of this month...Ask ko lang if anong El Nido  Tour agency ang may malaking bangka? i'm looking at some el nido pics eh puro maliliit na bangka lang yung nakikita ko..TIA! ^_^

[matetreyes]

bound to pangulasian tomorrow! scary ang plane! hanliit!

[unwantedP]

booked el nido with my bf - finally! May 23-26. Here's our plan:

May 23:
1830 ETA PPS
2000 RORO Bus to El Nido

May 24:
0400 ETA El Nido
Early Check-in
0800-1700 Tour A + C
Dinner

May 25:
Free time

May 26:
0600 RORO Bus to PPS
1200 ETA PPS >> sana di matraffic!
Head straight to airport
1345 ETD PPS to MNL

Yung shores ba ng El Nido beachfront is parang sa boracay? pwedeng tambayan and swim sa beach? Isip pa namin if Tour A + C or hiwalay sila. Baka pagod kasi if both days may island hopping hehe.

[bleudskymd]

^ IMO, hindi maganda yung beach front ng El Nido for swimming (compared to Boracay). In the morning & late afternoon, almost all boats are docked sa beach thus maliit lang yung space for swimming. Hindi rin maputi yung sands & may areas sa beach front na maraming lumot.

If you're looking for a beach that's similar to Boracay, I highly recommend Nacpan Beach. However, it's less than 1 hour (motorcycle) ride from the town proper of El Nido. It has white sand beach, pino yung buhangin, malinis, konti lang tao. Plus, you have a nice view of the sunset. (Sa El Nido, hindi maganda view kasi obscured ng bundok).

[unwantedP]

^ah ganon ba sis, thank you! really helped a lot. hmm, yung Marimegmeg, parang maganda din siya tambayan tapos malapit lang

We're torn na if sa Ipil Lodge kami mag stay (fully booked na yun Marina), maganda pala ang Corong Corong dahil sa Marimegmeg! Pero baka Ipil na lang, since mag trike pa din papuntang Marimegmeg if galing sa Corong Corong hehe.

Isip din namin kung separate ang Tour A and C, parang di maeenjoy kasi pag nagmamadali, pag combined yung 2. like, 20 minutes lang per island hehe. pag hindi naman, pagod both days, kaya ok din free time 2nd day, tapos Nacpan or Marimegmeg sa morning

Si boyfie kasi e, gusto ko sana Tour A + C first day, 2nd is Marimegmeg ng morning, Nacpan after lunch. Kaso pagod daw. Gusto niya mag relax.

[shyfly]

sino may contact ng cliffside cottages sa elnido? any accomodation na marerecommend niyo good for 3 pax. most affordable sana pero ok yung location. TIA!

Depende kung ano gusto niyo - todo gala or gala+relax. Pag-usapan niyo.

Kami kasi ni husband, "gala to the max", nilubos na namin yung bakasyon sa El Nido kaya wala kaming sinayang na oras para lang matulog or kaya mag-relax. Pagod kami but enjoy naman.

just got back from pangulasian and miniloc. ganda sa pangulasian, tahimik. parang two seasons coron ang peg. may trekking site din. although the beach and villa is better in two seasons. btw, the iti direct flight to el nido now is atr  na. parang yung sa caticlan. amanpulo na lang gumagamit ng dornier na plane. miniloc is rustic naman. walang tv sa garden cottage
