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!

General info
What to know before visiting Puerto Princesa
What to do in Puerto Princesa
Puerto Princesa is best known for sightseeing tours, outdoor and sports activities, and water-based adventures, with guided tours and nature experiences dominating bookings. Klook booking data shows Tours lead volume, followed by Outdoor & sports activities, Attraction passes and Parks & gardens, so expect a rhythm of organised day trips and active excursions throughout the year. Demand peaks in February and is much quieter in August; decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or a quieter, budget-friendly visit. All observations are based on Klook booking data.
When to visit Puerto Princesa
February is the city’s busiest month, with demand well above a typical month, while August is the quietest. Prices move through the year with notable swings: late winter and early spring see moderate prices, September records the highest median price, and July the lowest. Where demand and price align — February is high demand but not the priciest — expect lively conditions; for lower prices and fewer crowds, aim for July or August. These recommendations are drawn from Klook booking data.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Peak demand | AUD 46 |
| February | Peak demand | AUD 18 |
| March | About average | AUD 19 |
| April | Busier than usual | AUD 27 |
| May | About average | AUD 49 |
| June | Quieter than usual | AUD 57 |
| July | Very quiet | AUD 18 |
| August | Very quiet | AUD 57 |

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 from Australia
Most travellers here tend to book about 5 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking up to 20 days out, so allow a few days of flexibility but plan earlier for peak months like February. Last-minute options do exist — many experiences release availability within 2 days — but popular tour slots can fill in high-demand periods. Use Klook to compare options and lock in dates for your preferred activities; booking a few days ahead gives balance between choice and flexibility, according to Klook booking data.
