The van was very spacious. We booked our trip from El Nido to Puerto here. It was cheaper compared to booking at the terminal itself, especially considering the van was more spacious and had a high ceiling. They also picked us up at our preferred location, which saved us money on transportation to the van terminal. The driver was kind. Overall, it was worth it!

Our family recently booked a van transfer from Port Barton to Puerto Princesa, and we had a very pleasant experience. The entire process was smooth, convenient, and well-organized from start to finish. The driver arrived on time, was professional and courteous, and ensured that everyone was comfortable throughout the journey. The van was clean, well-maintained, and spacious enough to accommodate both passengers and luggage comfortably. Despite the long drive, the ride felt safe and relaxed. What we appreciated most was the driver’s careful driving and friendly attitude. He was respectful, helpful with our bags, and made the trip stress-free, allowing us to simply enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Traveling between Port Barton and Puerto Princesa can be a long journey, but this transfer service made it easy and comfortable for our family. We felt safe, well taken care of, and arrived at our destination without any issues.

This is the most popular tour in El Nido! We were picked up at our hotel and departed from Corong Corong Beach. We paid 600 pesos here (for environmental fees, etc.) and took a kayak to the boat. Be sure to wear a swimsuit as you will get wet. We set off with about 20 people. Our guide was very kind, and above all, the natural scenery was breathtaking. The food was also delicious! We rented a kayak at the last spot (paid 300 pesos). This place also had amazing views. On the way back, you'll need to hail a tricycle yourself to get back. For belongings, it's a good idea to bring a dry bag and a waterproof phone case. These protected our luggage from a sudden downpour! It was also a good decision to bring goggles, as they don't lend out masks at non-snorkeling spots. We received a WhatsApp message the day before, which was very reassuring. After the tour, they even sent us a photo of our environmental tax ticket. For a full day of fun, this price is quite a bargain! Thank you for a wonderful time!!

We’re so glad we chose this speedboat tour. It felt like we had the entire boat to ourselves since there were no other guests, which made the whole experience feel more private and relaxed. The boat was comfortable, the crew was friendly, and we got to enjoy El Nido’s incredible views without the usual crowds. Being on a speedboat also meant less travel time between stops and more time enjoying the beaches and lagoon. One of the best decisions we made on this trip.

wow !! we felt like a part of the family! Such kind hospitality from start to finish!! We never go on tours that include photos so this was extra special! The guides helped my children even step of the way! Thank Sedric, Grace and Roberto! The captain who not only saved my sons book but pulled our kayak in from a storm! Five hugs and five stars to a staff team that works so well together it shows❤️Ivan we will be back!

What to know before visiting El Nido

El Nido at a glance

El Nido centres on water activities, followed by parks & gardens, day tours and massages, with outdoor and sports options also appearing in the data. Demand follows a clear seasonal pulse: Klook booking data show a busiest moment in February and a very quiet trough in July. That rhythm suits travellers who prioritise snorkeling, island-hopping and beach time in the busier months, while those seeking calmer beaches and lower visitor numbers should plan for the quieter mid-year stretch. Decide whether you want peak atmosphere or relaxed days.

When to visit and what to expect

Klook booking data indicate February as the peak month, with roughly 43% higher demand versus a typical month, while July is the quietest month at about 41% below typical demand. Prices are largely steady through the year: the median paid on Klook sits around USD 21 in most months, dipping to USD 20 in several months. That means crowds and prices only diverge slightly — July is very quiet but not notably cheaper, while November offers both quieter demand and a marginally lower median price. Travel in November to balance lower prices and smaller crowds; choose February for peak atmosphere.

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers planning ahead

Most travellers book experiences about 6 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around three weeks out. Treat El Nido as a moderately flexible destination: many activities can be arranged a few days before travel, but lock in popular water activities earlier if you visit in peak months like February. Klook booking data show shorter lead times overall, so use Klook to compare options and secure spots for your preferred time and departure. Book sooner for peak months, or wait until closer in for quieter months.
