Hi girls.

Dahil hindi kame natuloy last year sa aming PPS flight kahit nagbook na dahil pangit ng sched na nakuha ko nagbook kame ngayon.
May mga tanong ako sana matulungan nyo ako kasi super first time ko talaga to. At dalawa lang kame. Maraming salamat!

October 11-14 kame.

1.Maulan ba ng mga ganitong buwan at araw?

2. Kung hindi delayed ang cebu pac 9:30 am nasa PPs na kame. Gusto namin mag underground muna bago mag el nido. San po ba maganda makipag deal ? Kaya bang iDIY? Kaso may mga permit permit pa pala.

3. Plan kasi namin na pag dating PPS diretso UGR tapos diretso El nido na. Then Oct 12 yun start ng Tour A namin tapos possible ba na sa gabi ng araw na to makabalik kame ng PPS? Or next day na lang kame bumalik?

4. Oct 14 ng 4pm flight back to manila. Please suggest itenerary mga sis. DIY ba or package na labg kunin namin?

Maraming salamat. Im nervous and excited!

^hi, my suggestion for you po is:

Oct 11- 9am ETA diretso El Nido (6hrs); check-in then Nacpan for sunset or vice-versa.
Oct 12-13 EL Nido Tours; I'm not sure until what time ang viaje from El Nido to PPS but pwede yata ang gabi (pls confirm na lang); check-in PPS hotel (you can request for late check-in)
Oct 14- check-out before you join UGR tour usually starts nang 7-8am. Just leave your luggage sa hotel storage. I suggest you get a tour on UGR kasi pinauuna yung may mga flight sa hapon and alam ng agent ang flight sched nyo so naka-arrange na yung travel time-plan. usually after lunch pabalik na nang city.

About sa date, hmm...yung una namin punta sa PPS 2yrs ago, 3rd week of Sept yun. Ok yung first 3 days namin - city tour, Honday Bay at Dos Palmas. Yung ETD day namin saka kami nang UGR kaso hindi kami pinapasok kasi malakas yung current sa loob. As in nakasuot na kami nang gear tapos pababalikin lang. Argh! Bring raincoat pag ganitong month though may nabibilhan naman sa Sabang.

HTH!

Nice sis!! Salamat sa recommendation. Ganyan na nga lang gagawin namin since mas ok. Wala talaga kasi ako kaideideya. Super thanks. Hoping and praying na walang ulan or bagyo.

Hi everyone, we're planning to have our honeymoon at El nido on August 9-13. We've already booked 3D2N Miniloc Island of El Nido Resort and now we're looking for another hotek to stay for 3D2N also. Any recommendation, gusto sana namin yung malapit sa nightlife like pukka bar at nag-ooffer ng island tours. TIA 

[jenny_syngkit]

^search mo sis yng el nido overlooking and mahogany resort. Mukhang maganda yung villas nila. We wanted to book them initially for our trip this Dec but fully booked na. So sa El Nido Cove resort na lang kame. Pricier and malayo sobra sa town.

For the UGR tour, kailangan ba talaga ibook thru an agency? Kase 1500 per head and singil, although with transfers na. Kase I saw sa website nasa 275 per head lang talaga ang entrance fee.

[jonapee]

^thanks sis. I'll check those hotels. Maganda rin Villas sa El Nido Resort, kaso grabe ang price. Gusto kasi ni fiancee may stay kami 2 nights sa lageen at 2 nights sa miniloc, both El nido resort. Pero di talaga ako pumayag, kasi we can el nido with cheaper hotels naman. So we ended up 2 nights sa miniloc, dahil gusto niya nga talaga and 2 nights in other hotel. Bale from airport dun muna kami sa other hotels, dun yung island tours and nightlife. Tpos sa miniloc ang relax at chill time namin.

About sa tour, di ko lang alam sis.

[Shiecg]

will celebrate my birthday next year in El Nido, any recommendation on accommodation, yong nice view pero sana affordable :-)

[meimei]

^define affordable? what price range?

[missgoodvibe]

Hi guys,

Nag iba na ba yung Northern Hope Tours? I mean standrad na yung Php1000/person na travel package kahit na private tour? Nasa 10 pax kasi kami, ang singil samin 1k/person. I was hoping makakamura if we avail of the private tour/boat, pero hindi din pala.

Baka may masa-suggest po kayo na boatman for our trip. Sana nasa 5k-6k lang per day tour.

Thanks!!

[jenny_syngkit]

^we were quoted the same price. we're 8 in our group and we want a private tour. P1k/adult and P500/kid.

mas mura compared sa P1200-1400 per head kapag hindi private.

[missgoodvibe]

^northern hope din?

Me and my boyfriend were able to pay for 1k/pax too when we went to El Nido last Nov 2014. I was hoping na makakamura sana if mas marami kami. Hehe. Kaso hindi din pala kasi 1k/pax din yung price nila.

[jenny_syngkit]

yes from Northern Hope also. December kase yung travel date namen, so peak season.

we rented kayak and stand-up paddle board also.
