Fähre hatte zwei Stunden Verspätung. Alle Menschen standen zwei Stunden bei praller Sonne, ohne Schatten oder die Möglichkeit Getränke zu kaufen am Terminal. Keine Informationen vom Personal. Am Ende hieß es, die Fähre wäre pünktlich gewesen aber es hätte keinen Treibstoff gegeben.
I’ve read reviews about the trip and was not looking forward to the journey. But it was great! Took exactly 5 hours, only a 30 minute delay. I’ve read it’s freezing with the AC, but it wasn’t too cold at all. Our boat had lots of spare seats so everyone was spread out and could lay down. You do have to change your PDF ticket for a paper one at a shop away from the port so remember to do that early saves rushing around!
The Atienza shipping lines was nice and clean. It was a 5hour journey from el Nido to Coron port. I just want to emphasize that the actual ticket needs to be picked up from the shop which is a few 100m from the port ticket office. They dont accept qr codes or your printed ticket purchase online. Actual ticket is a must. And then you buy for 20pesos your ticket in that terminal where you wait.
Ferry did not leave on time. And and advertised 330pm arrival on Coron did not happen until nearly 530pm.
While I get the concept of "Filipino time" it should not be applied to ferry transit time. If the ferry leaves 15min late.. then it should arrive ONLY 15 min later than scheduled. You disrupt plans and other itineraries... Do better!!!

Comfortable, left on time but didn’t arrive until 5pm, which is 5 hour journey, for something that’s advertised as 3 hours. Conditions were clear and calm so unsure why it takes so long
