EL NIDO Thread 5

[mian26]

^Thanks sis! Sanay naman ako mag DIY since dun talaga kami nakakamura. Ang iniisip ko lang ngayon yung balak namin dumaan ng Underground River sa PP before going to El Nido. Maaga kasi dating namin sa PP. After that byahe na to El Nido para pagdating dun rest na lang sa gabi then island hopping for the next 2 days. Then pagbalik ng PP gabi din sana para yung last day makapag tour pa kami sa PP since gabi pa flight namin pauwi ng Manila. Nakita ko sa Daytripper for chartered tour lang yung pwede dumaan ng Underground. Di naman namin carry ang chartered dahil dalawa lang kami ni hubby. So heto hanap hanap pa ng ibang option.

Hi sis,ask ko lang ano exact date ng punta nyo sa el nido? kasi 2 lang din kami ni hubby baka gusto mong mag join nalang tayo. first time din namin pumunta and ngayon palang ako nakapag back read. ang date namin is june 29-july 3 kayo?

[Liam R]

Hello! Mukhang susulitin na namin ang trip at mag u-Underground na din kami. Quote sakin is 1,300 per head from the airport then kasama na lahat including lunch. Okay na ba tong rate na to? Then Nacpan sa last day nalang daw namin at P650 per head with lunch na din. Super busy ko na at di na masyado maka research. Sana okay naman yung rates na nabigay sakin para sa kanya ko na kunin lahat! Let me know your thoughts sisses!

[Liam R]

Hi Mian! Pagdating namin ng PPS, mag Underground River tour muna kami before heading to El Nido. Then yung next two days, mag Tours A and C kami (hindi ko na masyado na-research pero eto yung best seller daw, according to almost everyone). Then sa fourth day bago umalis ng El Nido, punta kami ng Nacpan.

Sabi kasi nung nagbigay ng tour, better daw UGR tour sa first day kasi baka daw maalanganin kami pag bago pa umalis. Sayang kasi ang alam ko sa Nacpan is okay siya pang sunset. Your thoughts, sisses???

[simang]

Anyone from El Nido here? I have a question re: transactions at the municipal hall. Salamat po

[kitten^]

Question: Nag ask kasi ako ng quotation sa Northernhopetours for private tour, then binigay sakin combination na ng A&C. Kaya ba sya in one day or masyadong siksik? Thank you!

[Liam R]

Hi Kitten! Offered talaga ang combination tours kung gusto mo pagkasyahin yung two sets in one day. Pero ang alam ko, hindi lahat yun mapupuntahan lahat. Pipili ka lang. So if kung gusto mo mala-Amazing Race, go for the combination tours. Yun ang description nila dun. Pero if gusto mo mejo may time to chill sa bawat island, mag normal tours ka na lang.

[hisana]

Mas gusto ko rin yung paisa-isang tour lang, and with a private boat. Yung tour A namin years ago, 5 lang kami sa boat (private) and it was the best. Hawak namin yung length of time sa bawat stop, and we could pretty much do whatever we wanted. Yung tour C the following year, there were 3 of us with another couple and this solo traveler. Okay naman yung tour overall, pero bad vibes yung solo traveler. One of the rudest people I've ever met in my life. On the other hand, the couple naman, they were so nice. So swerte-swerte lang sa magiging boatmates. Yung tour B which we did this year, 11 kami sa boat. Felt crowded and rushed. I barely had time to swim around, tapos aalis na pala. Parang picture-taking lang mostly ang nangyari. And ayun, as usual, may nakakatuwa and not-so-nakakatuwa boatmates.

[mian26]

Hi Liam! kami naman mas gusto ni hubby magtagal sa el nido kaya di kami makakapunta ng UG. yun din nga nababasa ko romantic daw kasi ang scenery sa nacpan pag pasunset na. 

[Liam R]

Hi Mian! Balikbayan kasi mga kasama ko so gusto na nila gawin lahat ng pwede. Anyway, may alam ba kayo na resto na pwede kainan after ng UG tour? Parang ayoko kasi dun sa buffet na kasama na daw sa package at P200 sa Penao Restaurant. Parang sad yung buffet, based dun sa mga ibang blog na nabasa ko. So parang gusto ko mag try ng iba. Kaso sabi nung tours, sa Roxas na daw yung next na pwede which is 2 hours away pa. Asked about Kalui and Kinabuch, hindi daw on the way. Babalik pa yata somewhere.

Anyway, iniisip ko ngayon kung after ng UG tour and pagdating sa El Nido, chaka namin gawin yung Nacpan para tapos na. Parang nagigipit ako sa time pag before departure. Tapos yung van pa namin parang ang aga aga kami susunduin kahit na last flight pa kami aalis ng PPS.

Let me know your thoughts, sisses. Ang lapit na pala ng trip naming. Panic mode na ako!

[Cheesecak3]

Kababalik lang namin from El Nido at sobrang ganda talaga don. We stayed 5 days at feeling kulang pa rin talaga. I will definitely go back para itry din ang ibang tours. We also went to Nacpan Beach for sunset viewing at sobrang ganda talaga. Wala pa kasing mga resorts sa area kaya ang linis linis talaga.

[matetreyes]

will be back to el nidi next year! planning to stay in Nacpan area, and do Tour D. =)

[petlovah]

I am done backreading this thread. I am planning to backread too Thread 4. Will be there at Palawan on January 31 (ETA 5pm) until February 3, 2016 (ETD 4:30pm). Mas feel ko mag-El Nido than Puerto Princesa tour. Matagal pa naman ang schedule namin but it's better to plan ahead para iwas hassle when there na.

Balak ko sana mag-Cherry Bus to El Nido from PP since 5pm ang dating namin ng Sunday. Evening travel kame going to El Nido. After reading the thread, I am thinking of going to Nacpan first para first thing in the morning andun na kami since maganda ang morning doon.

Any suggestions please? Still got several months to plan ahead pa naman but I can't seem to stop my excitement!

[meimei]

^mas maganda ang sunset sa Nacpan, sis. not sunrise. kasi yung mini-trail paakyat is facing the west.

[petlovah]

^ah ganun ba? I've read somewhere (can't remember where I read that) na ok ang morning sa nacpan kaya I am thinking of first day there since umaga na kami makakarating ng El Nido. If we'll ride Cherry Bus, around 3-4am kami dadating (6-7 hours ride). If by van transfer, earlier pa. Do you recommend on the spot search ng van around the airport or should I book ahead? Worry ko lang kasi baka ma-delay ang flight e.

[meimei]

^ako nagpa-advanced booking dati. ok lang naman kahit delayed ang flight, they'll wait without extra charge or they'll just come back pag nakarating na (kasi transport companies can just call the airline for the revised ETA). it's part of the business.
