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.
The administration at the port and the service from the coast guards were friendly and helpful. Everything was on time. The boat trip was quiet, and the seats were comfortable and clean. I can recommend it. Fantastic view from the upper level.
We had read some reviews online that were not very favorable. However, our experience was five star. The ferry staff was very helpful. The ferry was sizeable, comfortable and clean. There was a decent snack bar for snacks and beers. Departure and arrival times were as advertised. Our only negative comment would be the seating area after security. It was crowded and pretty warm. However, we were told after a while that we could move outside and be more comfortable. We did and we were.
