Pwede naman kids, basta kung tour C ang kukunin nyo un papuntang Secret Beach tapos maalon i suggest wag nyo na lang pababain ng bangka kase risky.  Kame puro adult natakot eh mga kids pa. Maalon kase yun nagtour kame sa Secret Beach kailangan mo kase lumangoy para makapunta dun. Un mga bangkero kawawa kase todo alalay sa amin eh 11 kame. Tapos un isang bangkero tumama un ulo sa alon kaya ang sakit...

[momentum]

ouch..ok will think about it hmm

^^ sis 6yo po kid ko 

[Cheesecak3]

^ I agree. Hindi pa masyadong kakayanin ng kids ang adventure ng El Nido. Most of the time nasa bangka lang din sila. Siguro ang pwede na dito ay yong at least high school na lalo na kung marami kayong kukunin na tours.

We went there last Dec 28-31, Favorite spot - Matinloc shrine, big lagoon and Nacpan twin beach

Hi Girls! We will be at El Nido on Valentine's Day. I already booked Ipil Suites coz I got it at a discounted rate.

Any review on the hotel? and do you know any special events/places there at El Nido during Valentine's Day that we shouldn't miss!

Thanks a lot! 

[michipoo]

we will be going here first week of March. Wala pa kami nakukuha na tour package, any suggestions please? 5days 4 nights kami and 7pax.

[Miss Granger]

_ Hi sis michipoo, try to look for e-philippines. Sila nag arrange ng El nido tour namin, he responds quickly and nag aadjust siya accdg sa budget and preference mo. Look for Russel, i know he's the owner too. 

[beach_n_sunsets]

For groups of 6 or more pax, I highly recommend Hadefe Travel & Tours. We only paid P6,500 each for 5d/4n for 7pax inclusive of the ff:

Private van transfers (they even arranged 'yung direct transfer from Sabang to El Nido)
PPUR tour with buffet lunch
Half day city tour
Private island hopping tour (combi A+C)
Accommodation with compli breakfast (make sure to ask them to give you their newer rooms sa El Nido)
Nacpan tour with sumptuous lunch and private din 'yung van

Last 2014, sa kanila din ako nagpa-book pero 2pax lang kami. Mas marerecommend ko sila for bigger groups.

[missgoodvibe]

^hi sis, confirm ko lang if 1 day island hopping tour kayo in El Nido? Bale, combi tour A and C na?

Price quote kasi sakin ng Tay Miloy's. Nasa 6700/pax, 10pax kami.
Van transfer
Accommodation
Tour A
Tour C
PPS Underground tour
Breakfast and lunch everyday

Sulit na din kaya to?

[Shiecg]

will be there on Feb 2-5 pero wala pa kami arranged transfer, does anybody have contact number of Daytripper, feeling ko sa kanila nalang kami mag a-avail ng transfer based na rin sa mga reviews here.

TIA

[itsKat!]

Hi Sis! Do you know any high-end resto/s sa el Nido? TIA

[fairytink]

Hi mga sis, figuring out our itinerary for mar10-13 (baka me gustong sumabay, 2 lang kasi ng friend ko  ) Ok ba ganitong itinerary:

Day1 - arrive PPS straight to El nido
Day2 - tour c
Day3 - tour a
       after tour balik na PPS? - OK lang ba ito mga sis? Usually, what time natatapos ang tour c and
       safe naman ba magbyage sa gabi to PPS?
Day4 - PPS. Departure.

Accommodation, back read pa ko but i got positive review on Casa Cecilia and  Kuhl-in, PPS. May mas ok pa ba dito?

Thanks! Thanks!

[petlovah]

^based from my researches, normally the tours start at 9am, ends at around 4-5pm. they also said that its safe to ride to/from El Nido/PPS even at night. the difference though is the travel time. if bus, mas madaming stops and higher volume of vehicles in the morning kaya longer travel time from PPS-EN (vice versa).

For the accommodation, if you're looking for cheap but reliable ones, highly recommended ang Tay Miloy's Inn. May fan and a/c rooms, just be sure you book ahead kasi they're most of the time fully booked.

Tips when going to EL NIdo

1. Yes, Tay Miloys Inn is a cheap accomodation. Stayed there during the entire trip. Make sure to get the room na malapit sa veranda para me matamabayan.
2. May mga paluto din dun fresh fish talaga na sobrang mura compared sa mga kainan na nasa beach front.
3. No need to stay sa mga hotels na nasa beach front kasi di naman ganun kaganda yung shoreline saka andami bangka and hindi malinis ang] tubig.
4. Sa mga walang go pro, meron dun marerentahan ng Go pro, i think 1k per day yata.
5. No need to book for tours. That's what i did. Andaming travel agency dun. As in. Nagkalat lahat. And the good thing, matetest mo ang haggling skills mo.
6. Madaling maikot ang el nido town by foot.
7. Kung 2 lang naman kayo (like us), just rent a motorcycle and drive. Mas mura kung gusto magpunta ng Nacpan.
8. Going to Nacpan ng hapon, yes doable. Umalis kami ng town mga 3pm na yata yun. And we were able to catch the sunset pero hindi na makakapunta sa Calitang.
9. Do all tours. As in A, B, C, D. I enjoyed all tours hohoooho.
10. Hindi kelangan malaki ang budget sa EL Nido. In fact, mura nga compared sa coron.

^true! sis.. ask ko lang if ilang hours ang rental ng motorcycle? I saw around P800/whole day rent. how many hours kaya ang whole day nila? we plan to do tour c and rent motorcycle going to the twin beaches.

[kutitapkiss]

hello!!! ask ko lang trike lang ba ang pwedeng sakyan papuntang nacpan? wala bang cheaper means of transpo?

[simang]

We rented a motorcycle to Nacpan for 600. Whole day rental na yun. So nakaikot pa kami sa ibang parts na medyo malayo sa town. I think that's the cheapest and fastest way to go. But if hindi marunong mag motor, then trike is the only option. Medyo mahal and mas matagal ang byahe because of the rough roads.
