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

What to do in El Nido year-round

El Nido is best known for Water activities, with Parks & gardens and Tours also popular through the year. Klook booking data shows island-hopping and snorkeling dominate demand, while marine-focused outdoor activities and relaxing massages attract travellers in quieter months. The calendar rhythm peaks around February when bookings run higher, and dips in August when demand is lower. For travellers deciding when to visit, choose between peak-season atmosphere or quieter beaches — both have rewards depending on whether you prioritise buzz or space, according to Klook booking data.

When to visit and price patterns

February is the busiest month for El Nido on Klook, with demand running above typical months, while August is the quietest. Prices move modestly across the year: the priciest months fall in July and August and prices drift down toward December, which is the most affordable month on Klook. Where demand and price diverge, August is quieter in demand but still near the priciest paid on Klook; December pairs lower prices with calmer crowds. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for December and the quieter autumn months; for peak-season atmosphere, plan for February.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers book a few days ahead — typically 4 days ahead — and the earliest planners lock things in about 13 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can usually be flexible and secure activities a day or two before travel, but during the busy month of February and other busier periods it pays to book earlier. Klook shows last-minute options exist, yet if you want specific tours or peak-time slots, consider booking in advance on Klook to guarantee your preferred time and avoid disappointment.
