El nido to Puerto Princesa by Bus
The minivan
Like the names says it a minivan! There’s about 8-10 places in it and they will full it.
It cost around 1300 PHP (35$ CAD). so about 17.5$ per person for the trip. The trip was
around 5h but it may be longer (or shorter... ) depending on your driver. In this case,
the driver was really careful. Apparently there’s 1 guy on the island that drives
careful and we got him for the ride. Surprisingly, it wasn’t really longer than the
first ride. It only took us 30 minutes more. The driver seemed to use the trip to do a
little side business, he stop at every town to pick up people and then drop them off 30
minute later in another town. (little bit like a tuk tuk)
The actual bus
**If you like your butt maybe don’t use that option**
This is like a normal city bus for 5 hours without A.C. But on a plus side it way
cheaper than the minivans. It’s the option that most of the locals use to travel around
the island. We still didn’t try it for the way back so I cannot comment on the quality
of the driving on this method of transportation.
