From El Nido to Puerto Princesa

Minibus with CURVES (smooth)

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.
