El Nido to Coron Destination Reviews

AB
It was on time. We arrived late because of the weather (4h30 time). Everything went well. The seats were comfortable. The A/C was perfect, not too hot, not too cold. Maybe it would be great to warn us about the government fees we have to pay so that we can be prepared. 20 PHP on departure and 200 PHP once arrived.

After reading the reviews we had low expectations of this trip. We boarded about 11:45 but didn’t leave until 12:15. Also the fact this is advertised as a 3.5hr ferry is a massive lie it was around 5hrs in total. It’s a shame because if they’d just advertised this as the correct time we wouldn’t have had any complaints

Too expensive for what you have, it takes 5 hours instead 3.5 with a super calm sea, it was too cold due to aircon...

Great journey, pick up your paper ticket from the office (no queue and took seconds), go to the port one hour before departure, pay 20 pesos terminal fee. Went straight to the AC and fan room, bags scanned and sniffer dogs here. Boat departed on time, took 4 hours, the AC was on the perfect amount but other people complained it was too cold... Have more clothes to hand if you feel the cold

The waiting room needs to be updated and maybe expanded as it was very crowded and chaotic as everyone started to go to the ship and people were still trying to get thru security.

Our original trip was cancelled and rescheduled for 4 hours later. There was no proper waiting area, so everyone had to stand outside in the heat, which was very uncomfortable. The whole process was disorganized — some people received paper tickets and were sent off earlier, while others had to wait an extra hour with no clear explanation. It was a very frustrating experience overall.
