* If there are many passengers, they may get other vans for the passengers. Does not apply for El Nido, Taytay and Sabang.
Important Notes:
- They have a speed limit and does not overload for the safety of the passengers and their drivers.
- They have uniforms so you could see who you should talk to.
- I love their orderliness!

Sorry for the late reply Chris. I have verified with the management of Lexus Shuttle that Ricardo Sunio is a legitimate booking agent for Lexus. I have updated the e-mail address to his e-mail address.
very helpful josiah. Sana magkaroon na ng overnight bus ang RORO kung wala naman, baka itong 2:30PM sched ang kunin namin papuntang El nido. 12:40 pm kasi dating namin sa PPS.
Yun din ang hiling ko. sayang kasi yung panahon na imbis na nagtatampisaw ka na sa beach or gumagawa ka na ng ibang activities kapag may araw. Maganda sana may night trip para more time to enjoy.
