For our family & friends flying in from San Francisco and Florida in the United States of America or from NSW or in Sydney, Australia - you can book a flight with PAL, Air Asia or any commercial flights to Manila.
AIR TRANSFER - FASTEST WAY TO EL NIDO from to 1 to 10 is via Air Swift: http://air-swift.com/flight-info/
AIR & LAND TRANSFER:
Another air route would be from Manila to Puerto Princesa(AIR), then to El Nido(LAND) which is most likely about eight(8) hours via bus with stops in between for you to use the litte boy's/girl's room.
For everyone coming from Cebu or Bohol like myself and everyone else in the family whose attending Victoria's wedding in Panglao. We'll have to fly from BOHOL to PUERTO PRINCESA and then from there, hop on a bus, eat, sleep, laugh, cry, drink (take your pick) to get to El Nido in Palawan.
One very reliable Bus Company is CHERRY, below are the schedules for Bus with AC that leaves from Puerto Princesa (PPS) to El Nido (ELN)
0900H, 1100H, 1300H, 2100H

0830AM ETD in El Nido, ETA at 0400PM in Coron
Overnight stay then followed by whole day tour day after
And after the exchange of "I DOs", nursing your hangovers and letting the oldies rest for a bit, we are off to Coron, Palawan. Isn't this fun and exciting?
Pack up your cameras, sunblock and all the energy in the world as we embark on a ferry from El Nido Port to head to Coron in a six(6) to seven(7) hour boat ride where you get t see the beautiful views of other neighboring Islands like Linapacan Island, Siete Pecados and more.
Edu and I actually already tried the ferry ride and it was actually fun + plus they served us really good pork afritada + fresh banana for lunch too!
We'll visit Kayangan & Barracuda Lake, the Twin Lagoons and if you want to do some ship wreck diving with us. Just let Edu know so he can hook you up with their dive shop in Coron.
Are you all ready? Cause we sure are super duper excited! :)
1. Family and Friends, first of all - THERE ARE ONLY TWO BANKS IN EL NIDO AND ONLY ONE BANK HAS AN ATM MACHINE which is the Bank of the Philippine Islands (Not yet open as of June 2016), so please bring cash with you for whatever purpose it may serve.
