^No, kahit hindi kayo magpa-advance booking ng tours. Daming tour operators sa bayan. Actually, medyo pinagsisihan namin ni bf na nagpa-book kami agad. Dapat on the spot na kami para mas maraming foreigner na ma-meet (eye candy) 

Try mo mag-inquire sa http://www.northernhopetours.com/ ng private tours. Not sure pero sabi ng bangkero namin dati papatak ng 2500-3500 depende sa tour. Pero hindi ko sure kung tama yung guestimate ni kuya.

^thanks sis 

[brandi]

And so im booked finally! 😊😊😊 im choosing this over coron kasi madali na lang puntahan ang coron. Sana maging ok lahat. 😁

^Ang quote sakin ng northern hope since december kami ng hubby ko is 6k buong bangka.

Ok lang kaya na sa mismong araw ng tour kami maghanap ng boat baka mas mura since 12am na kami makakarating ng el nido baka wala nang tour na nagaalok.

Mas preferred namin bus since mas comfortable dapat ba magpareserve ng bus before pumunta sa terminal or pwedeng walk in?

Sis @momlory, is it for private tour, and what destination? if yes, that is already ok since ang laman ng boat is 8-10 persons and the rate per person is P1k. I suggest it is better to book an advance for the trip as you have mentioned you will be arrived in El Nido at 12midnight.  You can coordinate with your hotel to look for it for both of you. The boat leave as early as 9am to maximize the whole day tour, and they need to come back before sunset. For the bus trip, We advice to get a reservation, at least you can seat wherever you want, they left on time based on their designated trip schedule. Marami pasahero, kaya unahan din. Pero mas matagal ang travel time talaga ng bus compare to van. To van, they can take 5 to 51/2 hours while in bus, it can take 6-7 hours.  You can contact this number 09981846761 RORO Bus line.

^^mas comfortable van lalo na kung hindi puno. papunta 7 lang kami & pabalik 4 lang. saka gapang ang bus maya2x hinto para mag-pick up ng pasahero unlike van derecho na, stopover lang sa roxas para kumain

[momlory]

Thanks! kala ko laging punuan ang van pag naalis hindi naman pala. Kontakin ko northern hope tours bago kami umalis para meron kaming van. kasi 500 pesos lang sa kanila. Salamat

^sa eulenjoy express ako sumakay sis, paglabas mismo ng airport ang terminal nila

[meimei]

mga sis! need help, please! has any of you tried to "privately hire" a Lexus van? is the website below valid for the Lexus private van rental? i just don't want to be scammed...

http://www.lexusshuttle.com/share-a-van/

we're 13pax in all so i'm planning to get the Commuter 14-seater van, 10K roundtrip na, so P769/pax roundtrip na. pero pinag-iisipan ko din na yung Joylong 18-seater ang kunin (15K roundtrip) kahit 13pax lang kami para sana maluwag-luwag kami. may naka-try na sa inyo mag-rent nung either Commuter or Joylong? feedback naman, please!!

[rocky]

^yong sa town mismo sis na beachfront walang mga pool. IMHO, maganda yong harap ng marina garden. may space pa kasi para mag-chillax & duyan habang nakaharap sa dagat

Hi sissies,

My buddies and I will be in Palawan on Sept.11-16. 3days El Nido/3days PPS. Plano namin tour a and c for 2 days sa el nido. Pero recently lang I learned na inoffer pa rin ang combi tours ngayon dahil off peak. Is it true? And kung may combi tour nga, mas okay ba sya? Hindi ba kulang sa time? Gusto rin kasi sana namin mag nacpan kaso baka kulangin na nga sa time kung 2 days island hopping.

TIA

[loverofsummer]

^Nung na-implement yung bagong tour rates, sabi nila bawal na mag-combi tours pero nakapag-combi tours pa ako twice. Talagang kukulangin kayo ng oras sa combi tours, kasi almost 10 islands yung hahabulin niyo in one day which most of the time, hindi niyo talaga matatapos. But if you want to maximize talaga your time, go for combi tours. Yun nga lang, expect na mamadaliin talaga kayo.
