I was waiting for the last trip of the RORO Bus to El Nido leave last night when someone when someone went up and stood in front of the bus. I was getting bored and hoped that he would perform a special number before we leave but he told details about a new way to get travel from El Nido to Coron, which I found really entertaining.
He presented that Montenegro Lines starting today will be ferrying people from El Nido to Coron and Vice Versa via their fast craft.
The travel time of the said trip is estimated to be 3 to 4 hours. The departure from El Nido would be 6AM daily and the departure from Coron would be 12NN daily.

I’m not sure. I’m trying to call the numbers they provided but it’s always out of reach. I’ll visit their office when I get to Puerto Princesa.

Hi Angeli, i’m glad that my blog has helped you on you travels. Unfortunately, I still do not have a DIY Coron blog entry. I’ve still yet to visit the place and research there.

Hi Ella, I’m glad that this blog is helping you. I can’t really assure safety when it comes to night buses, but I always ride those buses, I’m still alive and have not experienced any danger during any of my trips there.
Unfortunately, I don’t advice applying for a permit a day or two before your trip to the Underground River as do-it-yourself travellers does not have a way to book and reserve in advance the permit. You can try booking with the lodgings in Sabang or if you have a friend in Puerto Princesa you can ask him/her to book it for you in advance. If not, you’ll be in the mercy of the tour agencies. ๐
This is BIG!!! I’ve been scratching my head for months since traveling from El Nido to Coron usually takes many hours (8) to reach. With this service it’ll surely super rocking my trip in Palawan this Nov.
Thanks dude! ๐ฎ
You’re welcome Sazalj. Enjoy your trip to Palawan! ๐
the first time i got the infomation about this shipping company was 1 hour ago in another travel forum when i was trying to find the boat from El Nido to Coron through internet. I was so happy when i found Montenegro Lines, but when i keep looking for more info. i found people said this lines stopped running since June. I can’t explain how confused i am right this moment…i planned to travel Palawan in January, now everything is settle down, including flight and hotel, only the transportation between El Nido and Coron is uncertain …

Hi Rachel, I’ve created a post for the alternative. Here’s the post http://www.lakas.com.ph/2013/02/boats-from-el-nido-to-coron-and-vice-versa/
The only option now is to travel by banca or other transpo method which will take about 8 hours. ๐
Hi can you confirm if there is a bus or ferry from el nido to coron what time it will leave?
Hi Monique, there is. I posted an alternative here in my blog with the schedule and details.
