Palawan’s capital and main gateway city, on the east coast of the mainland
Puerto Princesa is the provincial capital and the island’s main gateway. Its airport sits inside the city, which makes arrivals easy — and makes the onward leg north the part worth arranging before you fly, not at the kerb afterwards.

An early-hours or late-night pickup is routine here — send the flight, crossing or permit you are working to and we time the vehicle back from it rather than from a clock time you guessed.
Airport pickups are met in the arrivals area with a name board rather than at the kerb, and the written confirmation sent before you travel carries the driver and vehicle details.
The departure leg is quoted the same way: send the flight you are catching and the pickup is worked back from it rather than guessed, and where the timing is tight we will say plainly whether it works.
If the name board is not there when you land, stay in the arrivals area and message us rather than leaving the terminal or taking a taxi — the written confirmation sent before you travel carries the driver and vehicle details, so save it offline and use it. We would rather sort it out while you are standing there than hear about it afterwards.
Everything we arrange is in English, and we are the English-speaking end of it on the day as well as before it — if something moves, message us rather than trying to settle it at the roadside. We do not promise a particular driver’s fluency; instead the written confirmation carries the pickup, the driver and vehicle details and the shape of the day, so it is settled in writing rather than negotiated at a kerb.
Our quote is fixed and all-in for the transport we arrange. Anything collected by someone else — a park permit, a local environmental fee, a ferry or airline ticket — is identified separately on the quote and paid locally, so you know which is which before you travel rather than at a wharf.
This is a long run on the road, and stopping on the way is a normal part of one: the vehicle is yours for the leg rather than a shared van on its own turnaround, so the driver can pull over where it is safe for a toilet, for food or just to get out of the seat, with your bags staying aboard. If anyone travelling needs to stop more often, needs to eat at a set time, or travels badly on winding roads, say so in the notes on the quote form and we plan the leg around it.
A private transfer has no second van behind it, so it is fair to ask what happens if this one fails on the road: it stays ours to sort out rather than becoming yours — the driver reports it to us rather than leaving you to work it out, nothing is settled at the roadside, and where part of the trip did not happen the rebook-or-refund position on our terms applies for our reason exactly as it does for the weather.
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.
Yes. Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS) is located within Puerto Princesa city itself, so hotel transfers within the city are short. The leg worth arranging in advance is the onward drive north, not the airport run.
Yes, and it is the most common request we get. Puerto Princesa is the mainland road hub: the north road runs towards Sabang, Port Barton, San Vicente and El Nido. One private vehicle and driver can collect you at PPS and run the whole corridor, timed to your actual flight rather than to a shared-van schedule.
Sta. Lourdes wharf, north of the city centre, so a Honda Bay day starts and ends with a short road transfer from your Puerto Princesa hotel or the airport.
Puerto Princesa is the administrative base for the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, and permits are handled through the city rather than at the cave itself. That is why the permit comes first and the Sabang transfer is built around it.
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.
