Admit it. El Nido is part of your where-to-go bucket list but the only thing that is stopping you, aside perhaps from your "busyness" or you probably ran out of leave credits, is it's pricey. Yup, definitely El Nido is expensive unless (one) you're on a promo and/or sale round-trip plane ticket, (two) you've took advanatge of a discounted room accommodation and (three) you availed of a cheaper tour package offered by your Ka-DIY.
Flashback
When I visited Palawan a few months ago, my initial plan was to visit the Underground River and meet some of my former workmates but considering my departure to PPS which was, by the way, fortunately delayed for almost an hour, I decided to visit El Nido. If the flight wasn't delayed, then, I'd definitely miss it!
Anyway, here's an overview of my expenses during my El Nido escapade:
Tour Package - Php1200.00 inclusive of Environmental Fee (courtesy of Joshua)*
RT Van (PPS-El Nido-PPS) - Php1000.00 (courtesy of Joshua)*
Hotel Accommodation - Php600.00
El Nido Town Tour (DIY) - Php0.00
Food - Php150.00
*Exclusive only for El Nido escapade. Airfare not included but I was on a promo fare from MNL-PPS-MNL. You may get touch with Joshua via his Instagram account.
