Timing wasn’t an issue for us but we did get there long after we were supposed to which is good to note if you have a flight. Other than that it was great

We departed about 1.5h late, so we had trouble with the check in of our hotel. Other than that it was ok.

Left from El nido to Puerto Princessa at exactly 9. Did do a few pick up and drop offs along the way for locals. Arrived in PP by 2:30 (15 min later than scheduled). The bus drops you off about 30 min out of town, does offer to take you to the airport for an extra 250 pesos. My group declined and we got a tuk tuk for 200 pesos. Overall it was a smooth experience, bus had AC, did stop midpoint for snacks and bathrooms if needed. There is a bathroom on board, it does start to stink a bit.

The van was not bad and it had Aircon. 🙂 The only thing that could need some improvement is the punctuality, as for the pick up time as well as drop off time. Overall we were satisfied that we took the service.

We booked the shared van for 9 a.m. and arrived half an hour early, as requested. However, it turned out we were apparently the only passengers at that time, and we didn't depart until 10 a.m. They could have sent us a message informing us that our trip was cancelled, so we wouldn't have had to wait 1 1/2 hour at the terminal without any information. Otherwise, the trip was comfortable, and we were dropped off at our desired location halfway through.

We left 15 minutes late, but ended up being 30mins early at the airport so no worries. We were in a bigger van than expected (12 people), but it was no problem, we even had enough space for both of our 50l backpacks. The AC wasn‘t too strong, which I didn‘t mind since we left early in the morning and it wasn‘t too hot anyways. Some people mentioned having motion sickness and asking about sitting in the front and the driver just didn‘t care, but I don‘t know if that‘s always the case. We had one stop in the middle, where you could use the restroom or buy some food if you wanted to.

They didn’t Pick me up at the pickup Point how via WhatsApp agreed. I then walked to the Terminal and was still 10-15 mins early and asked for my Driver. The people there told me he Left early and didn’t want to turn around because he was already to far away? Experience that I cannot reccomend. I was lucky that my flight was the Next day. They somehow managed to put me into a spare van with other people so I somehow got to PPS with a delay of 1.5h. I payed 990P and the other people just 800P what after this day seems pretty unfair to me.
