Seat counts are live — the full calendar with every date is in the booking flow. All times are Philippine time.
Add your flight number at booking and we track it. Reasonable delay? We adjust your pickup at no charge. From the airport it's roughly 5–6 hours north to El Nido, with a rest stop on the way.
Make your flight — or your money back
If your van departs more than 15 minutes late for reasons within our control, you don’t pay — the fare is waived. Weather or road closures get you a free rebooking instead. That’s the whole policy — read the guarantee.

Landing at PPS: how the meet works
Puerto Princesa International Airport is small and easy — one arrivals exit, so you can't miss your name sign. Grab a SIM or airport ATM run first if you need it (both are at arrivals), then walk out to the van. We time departures against the main flight banks from Manila, Cebu, and Clark.
Arriving in El Nido
Hotel drop-off across El Nido town and Corong-Corong. If your hotel sits inside the van-restricted old-town core, the last few hundred meters are a short tricycle hop from the terminal — your booking tells you in advance. Lio Beach guests on shared vans: the ₱1,000 area fee is collected by the driver only when you're the sole Lio passenger.
Same-day arrival + transfer, honestly
Flights land, bags take ten minutes, and the highway north takes 5–6 hours — so a mid-morning landing has you in El Nido by early evening. Late-afternoon arrivals ride the last slot and reach El Nido after dark; the road is paved the whole way and your driver does this run daily.
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.
