Transportation from Puerto Princesa International Airport to the City Center
Puerto Princesa (PPS) is an international airport located on Palawan Island, Philippines. It is only 2.5 km from the city center. Therefore, transportation to the airport is extremely easy.
You can reach the city by many means of transportation including tricycles called tricycles, local minibuses called Jeepneys, taxis and private transfers. Because the distance is short, these three-wheeled motorcycles are frequently used by both locals and tourists. You can get on these vehicles from the main road right in front of the airport.
The only problem you may have is that you go to the wrong address as there are many places with the same name in the city; You can solve this by giving the address of the place you are going to, together with the district and neighborhood information. Don't forget to bargain as the tourist tariff is a bit high.
Not only in Palawan, but also in almost all of the Philippines, the local filled Jeepney is widely used here as well. You have to take the main road to get on the Jeepneys. Since these vehicles are shared, they can sometimes be even cheaper than tricycles. You pay the fee when you board. Unlike tricycles, these vehicles do not leave you at your hotel, but at places on the line where they operate.
I don't want to deal with them, if you want to take a taxi from there, you can take a taxi right in front of the terminal gate. Many drivers will give you a predetermined price.
You can try to bargain and try to reduce this fare, or you can ask him to turn on the taximeter. The Grab application stands out as a more reliable option in this regard. You can call a Grab car right away from your mobile phone and arrive at your hotel without the hassle of giving an address or finding cash.
If your flight is long and you want to stretch a little, you can reach your hotel after a 20-30 minute walk. You can find the exact address you are going to with the help of Google Maps.
Besides, if you are going to travel to El Nido from Puerto Princesa, which is the most common route here, rather than to the city center, we recommend you to arrange your El Nido transfer before you come here. Because you will make a journey that takes about 7 hours, usually in bad road conditions. You can also arrange this transfer at the airport, but you may not always find an air-conditioned option.
