The very first thing to search for is affordable lodging. Lodging in El Nido is kind of inexpensive, it’s possible you’ll be stunned to search out inns proper alongside the seashore with out breaking the thousand peso mark. For excursions, I’d recommend you ebook a joiner tour as an alternative of doing personal ones—renting a ship for under two individuals could be actually costly. As for the meals, there are a whole lot of eateries in El Nido, though not proper on the seashore, that are across the hundred-peso mark.

The query then is what number of days do you have to spend in El Nido. If you wish to do all of the excursions, six days and 5 nights could be the minimal keep in El Nido. Most vacationers, nevertheless, solely do the favored Tour A and Tour C, which cuts the keep to 4 days and three nights.

All in all, for those who do all of the excursions, together with the land tour to Nacpan Seaside, the van switch from Puerto Princesa, the meals and lodging, it could price you about ₱11,000.00++ for six days. However for those who solely do Tour A and C, it could lower your price range to round ₱8,000.00++ for 4 days.
