 getting to El Nido
I didn't find it hard to go to El Nido when I went there in March 2008 (as a birthday gift for myself), I was able to even cut my cost, rather than book the flight straight from Manila I booked a plane from Manila to Puerto Princesa (Cebu Pacific) then flew to El Nido via Seair instead, it's a lot cheaper. I took the van to Puerto Princesa ( fare is P500 or P600) on my way back. I think there are only 2 schedules of van/day and i think Seair serves El Nido only during summer months.....
Compared to what my pals told me, when they went there earlier, the road condition has greatly improved, around 10% or less is unpaved or under repair but that was last year, I supposed it has improved even more nowadays.
I agree , Boracay will be a thing the past had El Nido and Caramoan (another beautiful place) had been more accessible....... Tawi tawi is very nice too but due to insurrection or lawlessness of some sector , I don't recommend anybody to go there , not in this lifetime. |
