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.

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.

An Unforgettable 3D2N Palawan Join-in Tour! 🌊
We had a wonderful and memorable experience exploring the beauty of Palawan! The tour was a great way to discover different destinations without the hassle of arranging everything ourselves.
From the breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters to the overall adventure, every destination was worth visiting. The tour guides and boat crew were friendly, accommodating, and helpful throughout the trip. We also appreciated the food, transportation, and overall organization, which made the experience more convenient and enjoyable.
Traveling with other people made the adventure even more fun. Of course, there’s always room for improvement, but overall, we truly enjoyed our 3D2N experience.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore Palawan in a convenient and enjoyable way!
Thank you to the entire team for making this trip one for the books. Palawan, you were absolutely worth it! 🤍

This trip was such an amazing experience and it was made better by the convenience of this tour package. We were picked up at our condo in the allotted time frame which was good. The drive to the location was uninterrupted because there was no traffic. Our tour guide was also very clear and transparent with our itinerary. We were also blessed because it wasn't that sunny which made it all the better. After arriving at Sabang, we did a small hike up to the zipline area. The zipline over the water was also jaw dropping, an amazing experience indeed. Afterwards, we were toured in the mangrove river. Our boat captain was also very entertaining and knowledgeable about mangroves. We had our lunch near the pier so we just had to walk a little bit to the boat that will take us to the underground river. Overall, the whole trip was an experience of a lifetime. Being able to witness the underground river is something you can only do once.

General info
What to know before visiting Puerto Princesa
What Puerto Princesa is known for
Puerto Princesa is best known for island and water activities, guided tours and outdoor & sports activities, with parks and attraction passes also showing up in bookings. The city's rhythm across the year is driven by a busy late winter to spring period — bookings peak in February — and a distinct quieter stretch in late summer. This pattern comes from Klook booking data. For travellers deciding when to go, pick between lively peak months for full activity options or quieter months for more space.
When to visit Puerto Princesa
February is the busiest month, with demand rising notably, while August is the quietest month according to Klook booking data. Prices move across the year too: the typical paid on Klook drifts up into April and May and is lowest in July, so your travel budget and crowd tolerance may point you to different months. If you want lower prices and fewer people, consider July or August; for peak-season atmosphere and the widest activity choice, aim for February or April.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | About average | PHP 1,784 |
| February | Busier than usual | PHP 1,843 |
| March | Busier than usual | PHP 1,724 |
| April | Busier than usual | PHP 1,962 |
| May | About average | PHP 1,962 |

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 the Philippines
Most travellers from the Philippines book about 5 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around two weeks out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can be flexible and often book a day or two before travel, but during the peak months of February and April it's wise to lock in popular tours a bit earlier. On Klook you can compare tours and water activities, read recent reviews and secure spots in advance — especially for busy dates — while still taking advantage of last-minute availability when plans change.
