Tour A: El Nido Island Hopping for the nth Time, Palawan, Philippines

August 20, 2014 by Josiah 1 Comment

Ever since I moved here in Palawan, I’ve done the Island Hopping Tours of El Nido for as many times as I can remember. Different dates with different sets of people and friends. But with the same excitement for me to be able to visit and see the beauty of El Nido.

What’s different now? 

Ever since November 2013, there had been a lot of changes from what I experienced on my first visit here.

The prices now have increased. My first Tour A costs 700 Pesos/person but now it costs 1,200 Pesos/person. Both prices does not include the 200 Pesos/person ETDF.

Though I’m happy for the increase because the guides and boat staff would get a better pay, what I did not like was the steep increase in prices and the abrupt increase without proper information dissemination. Thinking back on my very first Island Hopping Tour in El Nido, I did thought that even if the price of the island hopping tours will be around 1,500 Pesos/person, the beauty of El Nido is definitely worth it.
