El Nido → Puerto Princesa van transfer
Heading back south? The van from El Nido to Puerto Princesa is the same 5–6 hour coastal run in reverse — and booking online means your seat is confirmed before the island-hopping crowds hit the terminal ticket desks.

Seat counts are live — the full calendar with every date is in the booking flow. All times are Philippine time.
We pick you up at your hotel in El Nido town or Corong-Corong, and drop you at any hotel in Puerto Princesa City or at the airport. If you're flying out the same day, book a morning departure — most Puerto Princesa flights leave in the afternoon and evening.

Pickup in El Nido
Free hotel pickup across El Nido town and Corong-Corong. In the van-restricted lanes of the old-town core, you'll meet the van at the terminal after a short tricycle hop — your confirmation says exactly where. Staying at Lio or further out (Nacpan, Sibaltan)? The booking flow shows any area fee before you pay.
Drop-off in Puerto Princesa
Anywhere in Puerto Princesa City: your hotel, the port for Underground River trips, or Puerto Princesa International Airport. Flying out? Add your flight number so we can watch the timing — and see our 2.5-hour buffer rule for picking a safe departure.
Leaving El Nido: timing matters
Vans leave El Nido on fixed slots timed against the Puerto Princesa flight banks. The first hour south is the twistiest stretch of the whole highway; after Taytay it opens up, with a meal stop around halfway. Expect no mobile signal between Taytay and Roxas — tell anyone expecting messages.
Local drivers, fixed prices
Every trip is driven by licensed local drivers from our Palawan partner fleet — people who drive this highway daily, in air-conditioned vans, at a price fixed in advance in USD and PHP. You pay the driver in cash on the spot — no card, no prepayment — and our support desk is one WhatsApp message away before and during your trip.
