Bus Ticket El Nido to Puerto Princesa

What To Expect

Two different types of bus services are available for your trip from El Nido to Puerto Princesa. You may choose between an airconditioned bus with 40 seats or a minibus (van) with 9 seats only.

The most comfortable bus type is the airconditioned bus with 40 seats as you will have enough space for your luggage and yourself inside the bus.

The minibus, usually a Toyota Hiace, does not have enough space for your luggage and it might be possible that you have to share your seat with your luggage or your stuff goes onto the roof. If the van is fully booked you will find yourself in a cramped minibus for about 5-6 hours.

The advantage of buying a ticket for the minibus shuttle is that the operating company would pick you up at your hotel or airport and can drop you off along the way, if needed. The van shuttle runs more frequently than the large bus. The schedule for the 40seater bus is limited to four departures a day.
