They give good advice when it's to busy at places to go to another place where it's more quiet. We had a really nice lunch. I would definitely recommend this company!Written July 11, 2022
- jasonnI6091WR0 contributionsVery awesomeGilbert assisted us in transportation from Puerto Princessa to El Nido and from El Nido to Puerto Princessa Underground River, and to our hotel in Puerto Princessa. His staff were professional and everything went smooth! Long drives, but his tour guides made sure to make stops and to to ask questions at anytime. We forgot our sunglasses when we arrived in El Nido and ensured that it would kept safe until we got back to Puerto Princessa. I highly recommend this company to anyone that wants private tours and is very affordable! We will forsure book them again when we are in Palawan again.

- llauraa-0 contributionsMixed feelingsWe chose this company to do a shared van drive from Puerto Princesa to El Nido based on the great reviews. However I am not sure if it was any better than the other ones. We were aware that there might be long waiting at the airport before the van gets full, but were kind of lucky to be the last ones to arrive so the van left immediately. On the other hand not so lucky as my boyfriend got the last seat of the van that was REALLY uncomfortable. It was like made for child with almost none support for the back and it was kind of a torture to travel 6 hours on bumpy roads on that. I understand the vans need to be full so that the profit is enough but please, get a good seats for everybody at least! Anyway, 3 stars for not having to wait and a fast driver who made the trip in 6 hours.Written April 7, 2020
- omahof0 contributionsSeamless Puerto princessa to port BartonSimple booking. Fast confirmation. Accommodated our early arrival no problem and changed out pick up time. Nice clean vehicle. Excellent service would recommend. Felt safe.Written February 9, 2020
- GigiGar210 contributionsPrivate VanDiskubre was very professional, accommodating and communicative. We Hired them as a private van from Puerto Princesa to El Nido and back and we’re glad we did! They were always on time and since we were a large group they didn’t mind answering all our questions via a WhatsApp chat prior to our trip and during as well. We found this super helpful! Would definitely recommend if you plan on visiting El Nido!Written February 6, 2020

Would definitely use again and recommend.Written February 5, 2020
- Keel790 contributionsAirport transportationDO NOT USE this company!!! I booked an airport transfer from port Barton to Puerto princessa airport at 6am, my flight is 12. Well long story short it’s a joke! I’ve been kicked off 2 buses as they were full. No one wants to know this company and everyone uses Recaro. So basically I’m still stuck in port Barton and I’m having to hire a private van to get me to airport despite having already paid for a ticket!!! Company won’t answer the phone either. Terrible serviceWritten January 30, 2020

So we paid $170 to be picked up at Puerto Princess airport and taken to hotel in El Nido.
The company text me and asked for my flight number and hotel name. When we arrived we had to call as they were nowhere to be found.
It was a 5 1/2 hour trip. We stopped a couple of times for bathroom breaks. Disgusting I would have been happier to go in the bush. Once we arrived in El Nido the driver told us he would be dropping us off in the center and we were to make our own way to the Hotel. Or we could pay him extra to take us. Who would be happy with this arrangement? Then when I complained to the company. They said it was in their small print, however they would wave it this time. They stated that trip Advisor takes 20% of the fee and they barley make any money anyway and as we were not paying the extra they wouldn't make anything.

Dear Mr. Lee Cooke,
Congratulation for Earning our Dumbness Passenger for 2022.
1. We were kind enough to waived the drop off charge as clearly stated in your booking fine print that you failed to read. This makes you dumb and ungrateful!
2. We were at the airport before your pick up time of 6:30am and picked you up right away as your wife call us that you arrived earlier than expected. So this makes you a liar!
3. Stops is mandatory as trip to El Nido takes more than 5 hours and also stated in your ticket With 2-3 Mandatory Short Stops. Clearly, you didnt bother to read the fine print.

5/5 for the drivers that drove us from and to Puerto Princesa.
This 1 out of 5 stars is for the company because the way everything was handled was TERRIBLE and risked us missing our flights.
Terrible experience
Terrible customer service
Terrible communication
Pro tip: book with another company!
Our arrival to Puerto Princesa changed an hour early so we emailed the company more than a week before our arrival to inform about the change in pickup time from 9am to 7am. We received an email from the employee that our message was received and that she informed the company.
We waited over 1hr 30mins in the scorching heat and thought we got scammed because NO ONE pick up the phone but waited until our original pickup time for the benefit of doubt. The reason for the delay was that the driver already arrived but couldn’t get through the gates due to lack of permit?? Poor driver ended up having to park the van outside the gate and walked to come grab us but that still doesn’t excuse the 1hr 30mins delay.
As we got to the hotel, we reminded him about our pick up time back to Puerto Princesa from 11am to 10am after seeing that they were late. This information about 10am pickup was already received and confirmed by the company.
We checked out early at 10am and waited in the hotel lobby. And guess what? We didn’t get picked up until 12pm :) and risked missing our flight back to MNL.
This whole thing would’ve been much smoother if the company was transparent and communicative with us. We thought we got scammed because not ONE employee pickup the phone or respond to the viber messages in timely manner. We called the number that was given to us from 3 different phones and email. Please update a way for your future customers to be able to reach out to you so that they don’t end up stranded :) !! It’s what we paid for.

Used Gilbert for airport to El Nido transfer, everything was on time and smooth as expected.
More importantly we really didn’t have a completed plan upon booking Gilbert. I inquired with him about private island hopping. Through him I booked two perfect days of private island hopping for just the two of us. It was perfect all around, great El Nido experience could not have expected more or better. Thank you Gilbert!!!

Fantastic accommodations and very friendly experience! I didn’t have any phone service until I arrived at the Puerto Princessa airport where I was finally able to contact the private tour — they had sent me a couple emails to reach out prior which I couldn’t load until I got to the airport. They were able to respond and find me a ride immediately which I am thankful for. The driver was very friendly and we had good conversations stopping by for food and a good view for picture taking upon request and their suggestions. I highly recommend this service!
