The shortest Balabac trip from Puerto Princesa: three days and two nights with your own boat and van throughout. Your group's van leaves your hotel at 3:00 AM, stops for breakfast on the way and arrives at Buliluyan Port for the 9:30 AM passenger boat the Coast Guard requires everyone to take. From Bancalaan Island you switch to your private tour boat, lunch on Patawan Island, visit Tangkahan Island and reach the campsite between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. Day 2 is a full day of island and sandbar hopping. On Day 3 you leave camp at 6:00 AM and are home by late afternoon.
It suits families and groups of four to ten, from age 7, whose flights do not fit the fixed dates of the joining group tour and who want their own boat. Compared with the four-day private tour, this one gives up a second full day on the water, so it cannot cover every island on the list; the boat aims for the best of them, usually Onok Island, Patawan Island, Mansalangan sandbar and Punta Sebaring. If seeing every highlight matters more than the extra day, book the four-day private version.
Balabac is remote and the comforts are basic: a tent with a mattress at a shared campsite, generator power from 6:00 to 10:00 PM with solar after that, and no set menu, only what the Brooke's Point market and the fishermen had that morning. Wind, waves and tide can rearrange the route at short notice. Bring insect repellent, snacks for the long drive and cash for drinks. Arrive in Puerto Princesa the day before and fly out no earlier than the evening of Day 3.

Private Transfers = convenience
In my opinion, if traveling from Puerto Princesa to El Nido, booking a private transfer is a must. It’s a long drive, 4-5 hours over bumpy twisty roads. Vans offer little to no leg room, so having to share with 10 other people is not ideal. ...
