Group Tours – More affordable, shared with other travelers, and follow a fixed itinerary.
Private Tours – More flexibility, ideal for families or couples, allows customization and provides a more exclusive experience.
Most El Nido tours include:
✔ Boat transportation
✔ Licensed tour guide
✔ Life vest & safety gear
✔ Buffet lunch (for full-day tours)
✔ Snorkeling mask
✔ Accommodation
For a well-rounded experience, 3 to 5 days is ideal:
3–4days– Enough for the top island-hopping tours (Tour A & C) and some beach time.
5–6days– Allows for all four island-hopping tours (A, B, C, D) and have some relaxation time. Since each tour takes a full day, you'll need at least 4 days just for the tours.
Direct Flight to El Nido (Fastest & Most Expensive)
From Manila or Cebu– AirSwift offers direct flights to El Nido Airport (Lio Airport).
Flight Time– Around 1 hour 20 minutes from Manila.
Via Puerto Princesa (Cheaper Option)
Fly to Puerto Princesa (PPS) Airport, then take a van or bus to El Nido.
Van travel time– 5 to 6 hours
Via Coron (Ferry Option)
Ferry from Coron to El Nido(Montenegro or Atienza Ferry).
Travel time– Around 4 to 5 hours.
Best For– Travelers doing a Palawan loop (Coron → El Nido).
Both are stunning, but they offer different experiences:
Category | El Nido | Coron |
---|---|---|
Scenery | Dramatic limestone cliffs & lagoons | More rugged, with lakes & WWII wrecks |
Best For | Island hopping, beaches, lagoons | Snorkeling, diving, shipwrecks |
Tour Options | Tours A, B, C, D (varied landscapes) | Island hopping + lake & wreck diving |
Accessibility | Easier to reach (flights, buses) | Requires more transfers |
Nightlife | More lively with bars, restaurants | Quieter, laid-back |
Budget | Slightly more expensive | Generally cheaper |
If you have time, visiting both Coron and El Nido is highly recommended!

Asia Odyssey Travel has acquired Philippines Discovery Tours (which was the group that supported our trip)! The entire process was AMAZING!! We went on a 14 day (4 island) trip, so a lot of coordinating! Leo from Asia Odyssey helped me with the initial reservations. As the vacation approached, Leo created group chats on WhatsApp with each Island Tour Coordinator who was my point person for each island. They were AMAZING!!!!!! Communication was superb! Honestly, I can't wait to book another trip with this company! I was traveling with my young daughter so it was really important to have good coordination & communication so I could enjoy this trip! Truly an incredible experience!!!!
