From Coron, we took a ferry to El Nido.  We decided on the slow ferry because it was cheaper (1200 pesos each $24), and the lady selling the ticket assured us it should only take 5 hours.  It ended up taking 7.5 hours which only caused issue because we were trying to catch a van … More Sibaltan – Escape from the Modern World
