El Nido + Underground river...

[rpatsy]

---

Hmmm, mahala diay sa mga budget ninyo wui! Almost 5k/head (no airfare, availed na daan thru promo) kami sa ako bf. Backpack DIY travel lang for 3 days only. Smaller pa guro amo nagasto kung nagtipid jud mi sa food. Pero ang main attractions lang jud amo gi adto kay generic naman gud ayo ang city tour ug honda bay tour. Underground river ra mi ug ang pinaka-highlight - El Nido jud! Sa underground river, kuha ra mi permit sa booking office sa Puerto Princessa City from airport then baklay from booking office to Cathedral, trip lang kay taas pa time para night travel namo to El Nido thru Roro Bus (10pm). Abot mga 4am sa El Nido, sakay trike padung beach then waited for daylight there, then ngita resort nga non beachfront by 6am. Didto mi sa El Nido Plaza Inn kay cheap jud, hehe. Fan room lang xa then common toilet, pero it don't matter kay igo ra man tug/ligo didto. A day before ko nagpareserve sa Servant Tours para island hopping tour A. By 9am, start na island hopping. Amazing jud ang El Nido! Layo pero worth it jud. After island hopping, dropped by Spider Pension pareserve unta Roro bus pabalik Puerto Princessa pero van na lang - Eulen Joy. Before 6am, kuha na mi van. Then next destination namo - Sabang (location sa Underground river). If mag DIY mo para underground river tour, stay na lang mo a day before didto para kasayo jud mo kay daghan na taw by noon. Ka research nako daan about Dabdab resort, cheap again, simple but cozy ila cottages. The day after, kami una passengers. Nakigsabot ko foreigners nga wa nag tour package nga share mi boat para ka less, game ra man pud. By noon, balik na mi city. Then airport.

Ikaw diay si Lakbaydiva, i read your blogs idol! Same with soloflighted ug travellingfeet, etc. Mao jud guide nako if I travel, helpful kaayo! Thanks ninyo guys!

i assume that Tour C is Helicopter Island, Hidden Beach, Matinloc Shrine, Star Beach, and Secret Beach


while Tour B is Pangulasian Island, Snake Island, Cudugnon Cave, Cathedral Cave, and Pinagbuyutan Island.

how can you say C is better than B? just wanna know your insights cause we are having a tour package of A and B for 3 days.

maybe you can help us, maybe we can change our package.we plan to go this January.

thanks!
