プエルトプリンセサ空港 (PPS)からエルニド (ENI)

Ready with a sign the minute we walked out of the airport with our name. We only booked the night before. Driver friendly and played chilled music. Tyre blew on the way but he changed it really quickly, dropped off at our hostel.

Our drive was 1 hour late, back seat very uncomfortable

Not enough seats on the van for us. Tell us that another van is coming in 10 minutes, we had to wait 1h30. Also van is not comfortable at all, we were 4 where only 3 people could fit.

Our trip started about an our later, because they collected people from the airport first. The minivan was full, we didn't have much place. The driver drove very fast and the road is bumpy. They are not accurate, so don't expect them to be in time, especially when you want to drive early morning to El Nido for your Island hopping tour. There were some people in the minivan who had a tour in El Nido and they arrive too late. (They offered a solution to them too) We were in 1 hour delay. It was not the best travel experience in my life but they brought us from A to B, and it was about 5 hours long...so no reason to complain.

The driver was excellent and very kind! However, the vehicle was an absolute disaster. It was a very, very old car, no seatbelts, no license plate in the back and rusty.

We were told to be there for 12:30 the bus did not leave until 2pm as other passengers and the driver had ordered hot food, we were brought to an office in a separate vehicle to other passengers and put under pressure to buy tours in el nido, possible to distract us from the huge delay. Communication regarding delay very poor we were left sitting in van with no explanation as to why. The journey itself was okay, quite full van and several other passengers coughing without covering their mouths for the whole journey.

You will arrive at your destination for a cheap fee within several hours of whenever you think you would arrive. But be warned, things do not work here as you think they would, if you come from abroad. The bus left nearly 3 hours after the 6:30 nominal time of departure from Puerto Princesa. I was meant to arrive at 11pm but arrived at 2:30am. Thank god I could check in still. What they do is, if the minivan isn't full, they just wait around for more flights to arrive to make the service more viable. I was told we were waiting for one passenger, the plane was delayed and was arriving at 18:45. This was regrettably bullshit. Id advise leaving a huge margin of safety into any plans.

The driver made a few breaks for us to go to the toilet which was nice, but he didn’t communicate at all. He stopped quite a few times during the ride, without saying anything and started talking to people on the road, which got a bit scary after awhile. Also, 3 locals joined the ride for a while and we had to make room for 3 people but there was only 1 seat available. Me and my friend where forced to sit on 1,5 seat because of this, really unprofessional and unsafe. We paid money for 1 seat each so this is not what we expected. Then they were dropped somewhere again, but the ride was unpleasant. The AC didn’t work. Happy we got to our destination.

Trip took 6:30 hours. Car seats were comfortable, but driver drove too fast and one customer vomited.

The van driver was driving fast making the ride uncomfortable. The van picked up and dropped off people along the way to El Nito so the van was full for most of the trip.
