El Nido to Coron Destination Reviews

CD
we got seasick because the boat moved a lot. we would have preferred to have a more stable boat in order to avoid this with the possibility of going outside. Also we had a strong smell of diesel during the journey. It’s really not my best experience

I’ve read reviews about the trip and was not looking forward to the journey. But it was great! Took exactly 5 hours, only a 30 minute delay. I’ve read it’s freezing with the AC, but it wasn’t too cold at all. Our boat had lots of spare seats so everyone was spread out and could lay down. You do have to change your PDF ticket for a paper one at a shop away from the port so remember to do that early saves rushing around!

This was just a horrible experience traveling from El Nido to Coron by ferry. We were delayed more than an hour. There was no communication about this, even when everyone was waiting. Inside the boat the aircon was very strong. There was also a generator running inside the passenger cabin, which provided loud noise, but even worse then that an awful stench. On top of all that, when my daughter got sea sick, and had an accident, there was absolutely no support staff to be found.

Overal trip was good but so pity the windows are tempered glass so can’t see the beautiful view outside. So disappointing

Overall a good experience. Keep in mind that when booking through here you need to get the physical ticket, about 100m from the terminal (they tell you there and it is quite simple) and then pay a fee of 20 pesos. The boat was delayed approx half an hour, but the trip was fine.

There should be info that you need to change your pdf ticket to actual ticket . Ticket office location would be nice to avoid needlessly running back and forth.

The Atienza shipping lines was nice and clean. It was a 5hour journey from el Nido to Coron port. I just want to emphasize that the actual ticket needs to be picked up from the shop which is a few 100m from the port ticket office. They dont accept qr codes or your printed ticket purchase online. Actual ticket is a must. And then you buy for 20pesos your ticket in that terminal where you wait.

Travelling by ferry essentials

  • We do recommend buying your ferry tickets in advance, especially if your route is served by smaller vessels that offer a limited number of daily departures. To book in advance is of primary importance not only during the high season but off-season, too. Sometimes it is ok to show up at the pier and hop on the next ferry but remember that this is not possible for any destination, and you may end up waiting for hours for the next departure and to have to change your travel plans.
  • Shipping is highly dependent on weather conditions. It mostly refers to the open sea routes, e.g. between the destinations in the open sea and the coast as well as between the islands scattered in the sea. If the waves are high, even the islands which sit closest to the shore are often cut off from the continent – all vessels may be ordered to remain in the harbor. So do keep in mind that during stormy weather, delays and cancellations may occur. Strong winds and heavy rains may interfere with your sea journey, too. So take it into consideration while making your travel plans.
  • Very often, a more expensive fare means less time spent on board, though the difference in price also may be due to the different cabin classes. Always check how long your trip lasts – it may be worth paying extra to cut your travel time to an hour instead of three, right? Travel time can be crucial if you are prone to seasickness, so choosing the cheapest ferry ticket is not always a good idea.
  • Speedboats bring you to the destination in the shortest time possible, while fast catamarans are also a decent choice, often taking only slightly more time. On some routes, slower and sometimes overnight ships are available, proving a prudent option if you are ready to spend a night on board. It actually allows you to save some bucks in your pocket that you would have otherwise spent on a hotel room. Yet again – longer ferry trips are not for everyone.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take medicine half an hour before you board your ferry, not when you have already started feeling nausea – this way it will not help. Opt for staying on the open deck with a fresh breeze blowing into your face wherever possible. On vessels with several decks, the lower one normally feels more stable, while the upper one often is more of a rock-n-roll type.
  • A rule of thumb, choose bigger and more stable car ferries or high-speed boats if you suffer from rough seas. The former feels very steady even when stormy, and the latter is fast. Avoid catamaran-like ferries as they ride the wave rather than cut through it – which means constant ups and downs, ups and downs, OMG. If you happen to choose a catamaran, do follow our recommendation above.
  • Ferry is often not the only way to travel between certain destinations. It is obviously more scenic but usually pricier and may take much longer than if opting for a flight or a bus ride. Before you go, check if your island destination is connected to the mainland with a bridge – many islands which are located close to the shore, in fact, are.
  • Always put on your life jacket. Regulations around the world differ greatly and, in some countries, are more relaxed than in others. Anyway, almost everywhere, passengers are supposed to wear their life vests. If you are not provided with one, do not hesitate to ask where they are located.
  • Note that piers at some destinations collect a special ‘pier fee’ from all arriving passengers. As a rule, this fee is not included in your ticket price and should be paid on arrival.
  • Reading other travellers’ reviews is the best way to get an idea of what to expect from your ferry trip. Do check their experience to get the most out of your sea journey.
