Northern tip of mainland Palawan, on Bacuit Bay
El Nido is a municipality at the northern end of mainland Palawan, looking out over Bacuit Bay and its wall of limestone karst islands. It is the postcard most people have in mind when they picture Palawan — and it is a genuinely long way from where most flights land, which is where planning pays off.
We publish facts, not fares. Prices depend on the vehicle or boat, your group size, waiting time and the season, so every trip is quoted individually — free and with no obligation.
Both are on mainland Palawan, so the connection is an overland drive rather than a ferry. The alternative is flying into Lio Airport (ENI), a short way north of the town proper. A private car or van covers the whole run from Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS) or your city hotel through to your El Nido accommodation.
They are the lettered island-hopping day tours organised by the local boat operators, each covering a different group of islands, lagoons and beaches in Bacuit Bay. We charter boats through licensed Bacuit Bay operators, so the tour and any road transfers either side can sit in one quote.
No. Nacpan lies north of the town centre on the mainland and is reached by road, not as a stop on the lettered Bacuit Bay tours, so it fits a land day rather than a boat day. The same vehicle can collect you from an El Nido hotel or Lio Airport and return after the beach visit.
The municipality collects an eco-tourism development fee from visitors, arranged locally on arrival. It is separate from any transfer or charter we quote, and it is paid locally rather than through us.
Anything specific to your dates, group or pickup point is answered on the quote — that is where the actual vehicle, timing and fixed all-in price come from.
Free, no obligation, and no payment to ask. If a leg does not make sense on your dates, we will say so rather than sell it to you.
