The full-length private Balabac trip: four days and three nights with your own boat and van, the length the operator recommends for seeing every headline island and sandbar. Your group's van collects you from your Puerto Princesa hotel at 3:00 AM, stops for breakfast on the way and reaches Buliluyan Port for the compulsory 9:30 AM passenger boat. At Bancalaan Island you board your private tour boat, lunch on Patawan Island, call at Tangkahan Island and reach the campsite by mid-afternoon. Days 2 and 3 are full hopping days. On Day 4 the boat leaves at 6:00 AM and you are at your hotel by 5:00 PM.
It suits groups of four to ten, from age 7, who want to travel on their own date, keep the boat to themselves and adjust the route a little. The same trip is sold as a joining group tour on fixed departure dates, and as a three-day private tour for groups short on time. The extra day here is what lets the boat work through Onok Island, Punta Sebaring, Mansalangan sandbar, Candaraman Island with its starfish sandbar and the snorkelling reef, weather permitting.
Expect expedition conditions rather than a resort: a tent with a mattress at a shared campsite, generator power from 6:00 to 10:00 PM and solar after that, and meals from whatever the Brooke's Point market and local catch provided. The order of islands changes with wind, waves and tide, and the trip runs in any weather the Coast Guard clears. Pack insect repellent, snacks for the long drive and cash for drinks. Arrive in Puerto Princesa the day before and avoid flights out before the evening of Day 4.

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. ...
