Being able to go to El Nido is a dream come true. And having to spend less compared to the budget is better :-) So I wanted to share this with everyone.
Transportation from Puerto Princesa and Tour rates can be lowered if you find the right agency or haggle really well. Here is a sample comparison using Fort Wally Agency:

You can contact Fort Wally at 0917 276 2875.
Another good thing about this is that you don't have to go to San Jose Terminal to get to a van that will go to El Nido. Fort Wally can just pick you up from the airport! This saves around Php150.00 for the tricycle ride going to the terminal. A possible downside of this is that you may have to pick up more passengers in PP who also reserved a seat from the agency.
Notes:
- Accommodation is not included in the listed expenses as there are so many accommodations in El Nido. You just have to choose which one would suit your budget or life style. Make sure to book in advance if you'll be there during peak season because almost all hotels/resorts/inns are fully booked.
- We got stung a lot by jelly fishes during our Tour A. So I recommend using rash guards.
- Bring the following:
- Sunblock
- Water proof camera
- Dry Bag
- Shades
