Visiting El Nido Palawan

Is it difficult to get to El Nido?
Well it is not the easiest place to get to, but if it was it wouldnt be worth it!
First you need a flight to Puerto Princesa, there are flights from Manila and Cebu, look out for promo fares. The flight is only one hour, the important thing is to arrive in Puerto before midday, as you dont want to spend any time in Puerto Princesa which is just the arrival place in Palawan.
If you arrive early you can get off the plane and straight onto a bus to El Nido

Straight onto the bus .. no need to stay in Puerto Princesa
