Getting around El Nido with IslandTrips PH
El Nido is the jewel of northern Palawan — a dramatic karst landscape of limestone cliffs, turquoise lagoons, and some of the best island-hopping in Southeast Asia. Most visitors arrive by air at Lio Airport or by road from Puerto Princesa, and private transport is the most comfortable option for both.
Our airport transfers from El Nido Airport start at ₱400 one way. The airport is about 15 minutes from the town center, making it a quick and affordable transfer. We recommend booking in advance, especially during peak season, as private vehicles fill up quickly.
The El Nido to Puerto Princesa highway route is one of the most scenic drives in the Philippines. The 5–6 hour journey passes through jungle, rice paddies, and remote coastline. Our Toyota Hi-Ace with driver is the most popular choice for this route — spacious, air-conditioned, and driven by someone who knows every stop worth making.
