yes, axua. i know about it. i also know that if i want to cross all the way to el nido from coron, it will take me a night's sleep at the ferry bunk before i arrived to the other destination. and also, puerto princesa to el nido takes about 6-8 hours land trip, right?

i have taken lots of flights with seair before, mostly going to boracay. the last one i was in was only for 12 people, and there were only 6 of us and in the middle of the flight, the plane came across some turbulence and we all got thrown off our seats. that is really a true story. the 4 koreans with us almost had a seizure. hehehehe.

Rhada I hope you know that Puerto Princessa is not exactly that near Coron! Busuanga is a separate Island from Palawan and is located at the northern most tip whereas PP is somewhere in the middle.

Take that plane trip its a fun ride in a small airplane If your the adventurous kind you would love it there. The plane lands on a small dirt airstrip and when it comes to a halt and the engine stops you will feel like you were transported back in time. You hear nothing but the light blow of the wind. If you get lucky you may chance upon an eagle circling above the picturesque airport. The land trip to Coron town from the airport is very scenic as well. It reminds me of those english countrysides with rolling hills of green meadows and barbed wooden fences.

Just be sure you are not afraid of heights (like I am) as that small plane is a bit sensitive to airpockets and is not cabin pressurized.

oh u wouldnt have to worry about that because u can opt where you want the banca to dock for the evening. sangat island (www.sangat.com.ph )has some good, modest accommodation i heard. it is also nearest to the wreck dive sites in coron bay.

went through the website... looks like a grand time indeed... thanks for the link!

at 3500/day it's way cheaper than a resort or hotel
