GETTING TO EL NIDO via Puerto Princesa:
BY VAN
We tried to catch up to the last bus going to El Nido but failed as the bus just left few minutes before we arrived at the PPS Terminal. We got late because we finished our last activity - Iwahig Firefly Watching - later than expected. But luckily, they were still Vhires available.
Since it was a night trip - which we chose so that we can spend less since we don't need to sleep in a hotel and instead sleep of the van (by the way, we really didn't save much here since we had to check in once we arrived at El Nido). Fare cost: Php 600.00/pax

WHERE TO STAY IN EL NIDO:
 |
| Address: Brgy. Masagana,5313, Real St., El Nido, Palawan Contact No. 0995 237 3677 |
TIP 1: We stayed at MOCHILEROS GUESTHOUSE. It's not that pricey since we got a room for Php 800.00 which was originally good for 4pax (since it's the last room available, we took it) and it has it's own comfort room. It's worth it the price. You can check their latest price here.
I fell in love with the magical beauty that El Nido beholds. I've been to quite few places but this by far captured my heart. And honestly, I would want to stay here longer (but because we need to go back to reality in few days, we had no choice but to leave)
WHERE TO EAT:
We just roamed around the city until we found an open one. Their restaurants are usually open during lunch time. By the way, ALWAYS BRING YOUR BOTTLED WATER - as water in El Nido isn't as clean as in Puerto Princesa or Coron (as advised to us by the owner of Cleon Villas) - it is better safe than sorry. So if you have a weak digestive system, be extra careful. You wouldn't want to miss your tours. :)
ITINERARY AND EXPENSES AND EXPERIENCES:
DAY 2 - October 2, 2017
TOTAL EXPENSE: Php 7,420.00/ 2pax = 3,710.00
TIP 1: For those staying longer, remember that the environmental fee is good fro seven (7) days. Therefore, if you'll take more than one package, you don't have to pay the environmental fee again. Just don't lose the receipt of payment. And ALWAYS ASK the agency the inclusions of the tour package, if it includes environment fee then deduct it. :)
TIP 2: Just ENJOY!!
Back to Puerto Princesa
Final destination, Coron

| Breathtaking view at Big Lagoon. |
 |
| Got lucky enough to have no boats in front so here I got the perfect picture. ;) |
 |
| Big Lagoon - I guess it's called Big Lagoon because boats can get inside. :) Our tour guide didn't really gave us the history but he made us laugh and enjoy the tour :) |
 |
| My travel buddy for this breathtaking trip. :) |
 |
| Small Lagoon - this time, I think it's small because the entrance can only be accessible by Kayaks. Rental starts at Php 300.00 |
