Puerto Princessa to Sabang
  • I wanted to pass my showtime nighttime inwards Sabang, as well as getting at that topographic point from the aerodrome unfortunately wasn't as straightforward as I thought. There are vans that larn to Sabang for 300 pesos, but since it was depression flavor at the time, at that topographic point weren't plenty passengers to fill upward up the van. And precisely for your info, the in conclusion van to Sabang leaves at 3.30pm as well as takes roughly 1.5 hours
  • Since at that topographic point were no vans going to Sabang that day, I had 2 choices, overnight inwards Puerto Princessa as well as accept a morn van the side past times side day, or seek out my chances with the local jeepney, the in conclusion i departing at 2pm. Decided the latter would endure the best option, nevertheless after experiencing it, I strongly suggest to larn for this alternative alone as a in conclusion resort, as the trip took almost 4 hours as well as is very, really uncomfortable
  • 11.50 am - Rode a trike from the aerodrome to San Jose marketplace to expression for a jeepney that volition accept me to Sabang - 100 peso (bargained downwardly from 120 peso)

Glad it turned out this way, as the snorkeling hither is some of the best I've done inwards El Nido

  • Helicopter Island (also known as Dilumacad Island). Another beach nosotros visited for to a greater extent than R&R before heading dorsum to El Nido. The argue why people telephone telephone it that is because of its shape (it looks almost similar a helicopter from afar)
  • 4.00 pm - Conclude Tour C as well as sailed dorsum to El Nido

I couldn't larn a ticket for the fast boat the solar daytime before as well as this was during shoulder season!
  • Although you lot could buy ferry tickets from whatsoever tour way inwards El Nido, it's soundless advisable to grapple direct with the port authority. This is because seats are express (even to a greater extent than so during peak season) and tour agencies tend to oversell. I know this for a fact as at that topographic point were a few people who couldn't larn on the boat that solar daytime despite having tickets!

A mutual sight inwards the mornings at the El Nido Port Authority building. Dogs are brought inwards to sniff out drugs or bombs before boarding
If fourth dimension is of the essence for you, so the fast boat may endure the best (but non the cheapest) alternative to larn to Coron inwards much less time. Try non to majority in conclusion infinitesimal as it's a hot seller!
Finally got my ferry ticket to Coron. Now on to other things!

  • 10.00 am - 2.00 pm - Started motorcycling tour or so El Nido, visited the next points of involvement due south of El Nido:
  • Corong Corong Beach. Only 1km due south of El Nido. The way inwards to this beach from the principal route tin endure quite hard to spot, precisely enquire the locals how to or enquire or so for Ailyn Sunset Inn (there is a pocket-size path from the principal route to this beachfront property). Overall, the beach isn't really prissy as well as tin endure skipped if your fourth dimension is limited
  • Marimegmeg Beach (also known as Las Cabanas beach). Another 3km heading due south of Corong Corong. Just follow the principal route downwardly until you lot meet a lot of trikes parked on the correct side of the road. From here, at that topographic point is some steps going downwardly to the beach. Definitely a lot nicer than Corong Corong, as well as this was where I spent most of the showtime one-half of my day. There are beachside restaurants, bars as well as there's fifty-fifty a zipline hither for the adventurous
  • Lunch at The Beach Shack (located along Marimegmeg beach) - Fish & chips (250 peso) & San Miguel beer (70 peso). H5N1 chip pricey but you lot larn to usage their beach chairs for free

  • Nagkalit-Kalit Falls. Roughly 12km northward of El Nido. To larn hither from where nosotros left off, you lot showtime demand to caput dorsum to El Nido, so accept the principal route heading north. There volition endure signboards with 'Nagkalit-Kalit falls' written on them when you're nearing the place. From the principal road, you lot volition demand to trek through the jungle as well as cross a few rivers to larn to the waterfall. At my pace, it took me 45 minutes each way. I highly recommend getting a guide though, as finding the waterfall was quite difficult. The path isn't really clear, as well as it's slow to larn lost if you're non careful. The waterfall isn't that impressive anyways as well as given how much endeavor it took to larn here, I would give this a overstep if you're curt on time
  • Nacpan Beach. Another 3km upward the route from Nagkalit-Kalit, so plough left into the dirt route when you lot meet a sign with 'Nacpan Beach' written on it. Continue some other 4km on bumpy as well as muddied dirt route until you lot arrive. Nacpan is i of the longest beaches inwards Palawan (second alone to Long Beach inwards San Vicente) as well as is without doubt, i of the most beautiful beaches I've been to inwards Palawan.

When nearing Nagkalit-Kalit falls, at that topographic point are a few signposts along the principal route that indicate the way to a parking area, where you lot tin also hire a guide to larn you lot to the falls

Finding Nagkalit-Kalit is non slow as well as tin endure quite disorienting 
Tiny cascades leading to Nagkalit-Kalit falls. It's non really impressive I know, especially given how much endeavor it's taken to larn here
Continuing on to Nacpan beach
