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!

This one was amazing after complaining about the PPS to El Nido ride...

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.

It's cheaper here. I was nervous when I first booked because no ticket was sent, but it turns out it takes 1-2 days to be emailed. Confirmation is still needed.

The hotel informed us of the pickup time the day before, but it was vague, stating 6:30 AM to 7:00 AM. Ultimately, it took an hour and a half to pick up everyone and get going. The highlight of the tour, the underground river, was wonderful, and the audio guide even had a Japanese translation, so the explanations were perfect. The cave boat ride was fantastic! The lunch at Sabang Wharf was also delicious. When I told the guide that we only had 30 minutes to transfer to the shared van for El Nido on the way back, he reassuringly said it would be fine. After lunch, there were optional activities like ziplining and mangrove kayaking. If you don't do these, you can return about 2.5 hours earlier than the stated end time. I think this activity is a great value for the price.

I'm very confident to say that this tour was very worth it. For 1,919 per person, it already includes van transfers, boat transpo, lunch, and payment of island entrances (very convenient). All three destinations were breathtaking with the tropical fishes at the reef and scenic beaches in Luli and Cowrie Island. Our tour guide was also very accommodating and knowledgeable about all the places we were heading. Overall, I recommend if you are planning on having your vacation here in Puerto Princesa.

I’m not usually a fan of city tours, but this one was different. I really enjoyed the experience because of our guide, Kuya Dennis. He is excellent at explaining the history and culture of Palawan, which made the tour so engaging. He was also very accommodating, and I was impressed by how well he remembers all the historical dates!

What to know before visiting Puerto Princesa
What Puerto Princesa is known for
Puerto Princesa draws visitors mostly for Tours, Outdoor & sports activities and Water activities, with a steady stream of Parks & gardens and occasional Attraction passes. Demand on Klook follows a clear annual rhythm: bookings are busiest in February and generally busier through the early part of the year, while October sees the quietest demand. Use Klook booking data to plan — decide whether you prefer lively peak-season energy or quieter months — and pick activities accordingly, since the top categories above show where most bookings concentrate across the year.
Best time to visit and price overview
February is the clear demand high point on Klook, with Peak demand in February and busier conditions in January through April, while October is typically the quietest month. Prices across the year swing independently: the priciest month on Klook was September with a typical price of USD 33, whereas March offered the lowest typical price at USD 13. That means quieter months like October often bring fewer crowds but not the very lowest prices; for the best combination of lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for March, and for peak-season atmosphere choose February.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | USD 30 |
| February | Peak demand | USD 26 |
| March | Busier than usual | USD 13 |

Tips for travellers planning ahead
Most travellers on Klook lock in activities about 7 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 24 days out. This means you can often stay flexible and book a day or two before travel, but during the February peak and other busier months it pays to book earlier to secure popular Tours and Outdoor & sports activities. Klook booking data shows last-minute availability often appears within 2 days of travel, so balance flexibility against the popularity of the activity and season. Book on Klook for easy comparisons and to reserve the time slots you want.
