El Nido is really beautiful! Secret beach is cool! I want to highlight the boat crew members from the tour guide Kuya Saldy, captain Kuya Tutong, members Kuya Toto, Kuya Jojo, Kuya KP, & Kuya Kulot (I hope I got their names right) for amazing and fun tour. Besides telling us the do’s and don’t’s and the rules at the start of the tour, Kuya Saldy also communicated beforehand about the weather conditions and if we were able to follow the itinerary as safety comes first. He suggested an option and so far it didn’t disappoint. He is also has a good sense of humor same as the crew members which made the tour more fun and memorable. I don’t know how to swim and everyone was very kind and helpful to me so I really enjoyed this tour! Kudos to the team!

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.

The transfer was very smooth, in fact I requested with the operator to change my pick up time and they process the changes quickly without hassle.

The trip was okay. The only thing to pay attention to is the direction of the route when booking. The information was really unclear. I ended up booking the wrong direction. In the confirmation voucher, all the information regarding the time, pickup point, and arrival point matched. But the subtitle said the opposite. Fortunately, the prompt contact for assistance resolved it immediately.

Kuya Jeff arrived on time. Aside from being helpful, he was very generous sharing with us his knowledge of the place. He made sure we maximized the 4-hr van rental. He's not just a driver - he's a tour guide. And the van was very new - we had a very comfortable ride.

Our flight was diverted due to weather and we finally arrived to Puerto Princesa 4 hours late. Fortunately, the provider arranged a new driver for us. Thank you so much!

Tour A in El Nido was such an amazing experience! The destinations were absolutely beautiful, and every stop felt like a dream, especially the Big Lagoon. The crystal-clear water and towering limestone cliffs made it one of the most unforgettable places we’ve ever seen. What really stood out were the tour guides. They were very knowledgeable and explained each location clearly, which made us appreciate the places even more. Their communication was excellent, making everything smooth, organized, and easy to follow throughout the day. Overall, Tour A is a must-do in El Nido. The combination of breathtaking spots and professional, friendly guides made the whole experience truly memorable 🌊✨

I'm glad I booked with Haqay Life as a solo traveler. They introduced me to other guests shortly after registration and made sure I felt comfortable. I met wonderful people on the tour and truly appreciated my guide for kayaking with me and taking pictures of me at Big Lagoon since I was traveling alone. Thankfully, the weather was great. I highly recommend this tour for solo travelers or groups-it was a lot of fun. The guides are hands on and fun too!

What to know before visiting El Nido

Discover El Nido’s highlights and travel rhythm

El Nido is a beach-and-island escape where water activities dominate Klook bookings, followed by parks and gardens, tours and massages. Demand peaks in late northern-hemisphere winter and drifts lower through mid-year, so the island sees a clear high season and a quieter trough in summer.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is February while demand is lowest around July. Prices typically rise toward January and fall into May; Klook’s data show May as the month with the lowest typical prices and January among the priciest. If you want fewer crowds and lower typical prices, plan for May through July; if you prefer the peak-season atmosphere, aim for February when activity demand is strongest. Prices and demand mostly move together here, with peak demand months also tending to show higher typical prices.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia typically book about four days ahead, with many late bookings possible just a day before — so El Nido suits spontaneous trips but allow a few days to lock in favourites. During the busiest months named above, plan further ahead if you have specific water activities or tours in mind. Use Klook to compare available activities and secure bookings a few days before travel for the best balance of choice and flexibility.
