Monkeys, baby black tip sharks, thousands of fish, just breathe taking. On the day out, visiting some of the world's best beaches is worth every penny. But the blue lagoon was the icing on the cake.… Full review by Matthew K

Being here, you want to get lost in the view of this place. It's a dreamy place. The blueness of the water makes one feel in a supernatural place. When you came here you felt like you were in heaven. Full review by Sightseer45338088653

There are tons of things to do and hundreds of islands to visit in the Philippines. But you came to Palawan and specifically El Nido. Why? Cause you wanted to get your feet wet. You wanted to trave… Full review by County-Hunter
Safe place to stay near big lagoon and how far from Puerto Princesa airport?
A:
Big lagoon doesn't have any accomodations near it. It's like in the middle of the sea. Part of miniloc. You can only reach it by group/private tours. Places to stay in El Nido would be in …
Big lagoon doesn't have any accomodations near it. It's like in the middle of the sea. Part of miniloc. You can only reach it by group/private tours. Places to stay in El Nido would be in town and surrounding areas. But there are high end resorts in miniloc island which is nearer the lagoons. Traveling from Puerto princesa to El nido is around 5-6 hours by van.
Great thread guys I'm also heading to El Nido in January. For those that flew there from mamilla did you pre book your flights? When I spoke to the travel agents about it they advised to get the 8 hour coach because the planes are reserved for the top hotels so you can book a flight but might not be allowed on. Is that the case? Thanks
A:
You should fly direct Manila to El Nido via Air-Swift. If you fly through Puerto Princesa, you can arrange for a private van or a 4x4 (+100USD one way for 4-5 people). We always …
You should fly direct Manila to El Nido via Air-Swift. If you fly through Puerto Princesa, you can arrange for a private van or a 4x4 (+100USD one way for 4-5 people). We always recommend guests of Terra Nova - El Nido to fly direct as the road from Puerto can feel a bit long (5-6hrs to El Nido).
Hello, will be island hopping in 2018. I have visited The Philippines before, however I have just gone only to Puerto Galera and Boracay. I am considering going to Palawan this year, and I am questioning the safety due to the kidnapping travel advisories. Is Palawan safe it's a visit? Or is it something to be avoided. I know sometimes the news may hype up an advisory. Best input is highly appreciated!

Palawan is absolutely save if you stay in the north (meaning Puerto Princesa and up) ... GO THERE, it's soooo beautiful!!! :-) ... we travelled there in February and would go back within …
Palawan is absolutely save if you stay in the north (meaning Puerto Princesa and up) ... GO THERE, it's soooo beautiful!!! :-) ... we travelled there in February and would go back within a heartbeat. We took a flight from Manila directly to El Nido which is awesome! From El Nido you can go Island Hopping (there a 4 different tours) where you will be visiting the most beautiful places you have ever seen. We also visited Boracay but to be completely honest Boracay doesn't stand a chance against Palawan and it's beauty.
What is the differences between these two packages?

I'm not sure which two packages you're talking about since many companies offer tours... but typically the packages refer to which locations you will island hop to. I preferred the small …
I'm not sure which two packages you're talking about since many companies offer tours... but typically the packages refer to which locations you will island hop to. I preferred the small lagoon over the big lagoon personally because you got to ocean kayak through the lagoon. Both are beautiful. And the hidden beach is a must see. Bring a waterproof bag and a waterproof camera.

Hi alferdo, I was able to book the tour A with Ricgem for 800 peso +200 peso environment fees = 1000 per person. However, in order to go inside the small lagoon, you will need to hire a kiyak, which may cost you from 250 to 300 peso per kayak which can accomodate 2 persons. I hope it does help.
