El Nido to Puerto Princesa Airport Destination Reviews

At the beginning, we asked when they would arrive and they could not give us a time for when they would actually arrive so we went to get some lunch. Then 10 minutes after we ordered the lunch they told us that they were there. But I had asked so many times if they were coming and what time they would be there. They had only told me that they were just on the way. And then once we said we were ready they could not tell us where they’re at or how long they would be and we stood there in the heat for 20 more minutes. It was really a bad communication all around. They also didn’t write to us beforehand until the day of which was not helpful because they were basically already Travelling so all of these companies basically suck and you just need to know that you’re not gonna have a good experience

Absolutely terrible, driver ran over a dog in the middle of the road whilst I was sat in the passenger seat. I was crying having just witnessed this and heard a dog go under the tyre to be killed. I told the driver he has traumatised me, he told me it’s just a dog. This is not normal and should be absolutely unacceptable. Stop driving like absolute maniacs on the road and this would have been avoided as there was enough time to stop for this dog to cross had the driver been going an appropriate speed. I will tell everyone about this experience and to not book with this company.

This was a good organized organization. I checked in and went to get some food. They called me to inform me to come back because we departed earlier. I also had a request to sit in the front from not feeling well in the back while driving fast and these curves, they arranged that for me. It was a smooth and actually fast and very comfortable ride. These minivans are more comfortable and spacious then other vans I went. This organization is definitely recommendable!

It is weird because we thought it is a point to point (El Nido to Puerto Princesa) van but the driver will randomly pick up people along the way. Also made random jokes that he thinks funny but really offensive. The driver also drove like a maniac.

I received the voucher with the tickets only 14 hours after the purchase, not after 2 hours, as I should have according to the information provided by 12GoAsia after the purchase. In order to receive the voucher, I had to intervene myself several times via the complaint form. I was afraid that I would not be able to travel the next day and that I would also miss the flight for which I had purchased tickets. I was supposed to be at the departure point 30 minutes before the bus departure time. Despite arriving on time, the bus did not arrive. I waited 50 minutes; eventually, someone called the transport company’s hotline and a vehicle was sent for us. After that, the driver continued to pick up additional passengers to fill all the empty seats, which further delayed our departure. The driver was not very polite, and when we pointed out the delay to him, he played music in the bus at maximum volume for several minutes.

I think it was an average ride for what you would expect going between El Nido and Puerto Princesa. Uncomfortable seats, shaking most the ride from bad roads and Filipino driving, and random stops to pick up and drop off random locals along the way. It had good air conditioning.
