DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS AGENCY!!! they increased the final price, which is fixed, it's 600 puerto Princesa - El Nido. I had asked several times, given my health problems, to be placed in the front seat. but once the van arrived, the taxi driver didn't want to hear about it and put me inside. being the last to be uploaded worst place. that wasn't enough, the taxi driver told me either you go up or you can leave. after visiting 70 states i can say i have never experienced such treatment.

After hearing that a lockdown would be taking place, we needed to end our business trip abruptly and we changed our return flights accordingly. Hence we needed a private van last minute and they were quick to accommodate us. Very friendly, professional and spoke english so easy to communicate with. Their vans are spacious and clean altho the drive was quite rough due to the roads in the PH but that's not their fault. Salamat for the professional service.

We are a family of 4 (2 adolescent boys), chartered a private van from Puerto Princesa to El Nido, with a side trip to the Underground river in January. From booking to the actual trip, we were provided with excellent service. The Underground River tour was amazing, everything was smooth. We did not have to wait long to tour the Underground River because Kuya Mario took care of everything. After the Underground River, since we had plenty of time to kill because we didn't have to wait long, he suggested to us to try the Ugong Rock Caving Spelunking and Zipline, which all of us enjoyed! Ryan was our driver and was very professional. We felt safe and comfortable with him on the wheel. He was not rushing, he kept saying that we had plenty of time to get to El Nido. Van was clean and well maintained. When we got to El Nido, he could only drop us at the Corong-corong bus station because vans are not allowed to go in, but he tried to ask the person-in charge if they could make the exception for us as we had a lot of luggage. His request was not granted, he felt bad for us. We appreciated it, we knew he wanted to help us. Overall, our experience with Daytripper was beyond excellent. We definitely recommend them. Hope to use their service again soon!

The driver was friendly, polite and drove well. What disappointed us was the fact that we paid 7,700 PHP for private van and the driver declined to take us to our hotel and we had to pay extra 1,000 PHP for that. Also lunch was not included and we had to pay for that ourselves.

We chartered a private van for 7 people 3 months in advance. They were quick and easy to communicate with via e-mail. Our driver, kuya Walter, was professional. He always arrived on time, was courteous, and drove safely. The van is spacious and was still comfortable with our big luggages.

We booked with daytripper approximately 2 months in advance for a trip from Puerto Princesa to El Nido. We heard that they were waiting for a 5th person to book before it was confirmed. 4 days before the trip took place they cancelled because there was no 5th person. We offered to pay for a 5th seat but that wasn’t an option. Now the day before Christmas no vans are driving and we might get stuck at the airport. Turns out daytripper doesn’t run during Christmas, but they didn’t told us that was the reason and they cancelled short in advance. Leaves us no more options and they’ve known this already while we booked but cancelled us late with an excuse anyway without considering our option of paying an extra seat. Really sloppy and bad service and leaves us with a hugh problem.

We booked van transfers from Puerto Princesa Airport to El Nido two days before departure. The online booking process was easy.
We were collected on the morning of our journey by our friendly driver Walter (I think that was his name). As it turned out, all 8 passengers arrived at the airport early and we were able to take off half an hour earlier than scheduled.
The vans are clean, modern and fully air conditioned. A relaxing pop soundtrack played for the journey which was a nice touch. My partner and I scored a four-seat bench at the back of the van between the two of us, so we were able to sleep for most of the journey.
We had an early toilet stop, then lunch at a nice quiet, family-owned local restaurant (as opposed to the large and very busy bus rest stop that the cheaper companies stop at). Sidenote: our return back to PP was a different company that forced us to stop there for 45 minutes. I was sick at the time that made the journey hell lol
I definitely recommend this company. You may pay a little more for the ticket, but the comfort factor makes it worth it. We weren't crammed in like sardines as I've heard most transfer companies do!

daytripperpalawanvan
Puerto Princesa, Philippines
Hello Sheika! Thank you for your inquiry, our rate is Php 875/person. We give 10% discount for Filipino Senior Citizens (OSCA card required). For children, if you will carry them on your lap (1 adult per child) we will not charge them a seat however we strongly discourage this for safety reasons and because it might be uncomfortable for the adult during the 5-6 hour journey.
We hope this has been helpful.
I need one-way transport from the Astoria Palawan Resort to the Underground River, then straight to the Best Western Plus The Ivywall Hotel after the tour. There are 2 of us. Can you accommodate this trip?

Hi, would you drop guests off at their exact hotel?
daytripperpalawanvan
Puerto Princesa, Philippines
Dear guest, thank you for your inquiry. For drop offs in Puerto Princesa - we can drop you off directly at the airport, any hotel or restaurant within the city proper (Sabang is not included)
For drop offs in El Nido - for shared van- by law, we are only allowed to drop off guests at the Van terminal. If your hotel is located inside the town (which is past the terminal) your drop off point will be at the terminal. However, if your hotel is located in Corong corong (which is the area before reaching the terminal) we can drop you off directly.
I hope this help in your planning, thank you.
