Round-trip Caticlan Airport to Boracay transfers with meet-and-greet, pre-paid fees, bangka ferry ride, and hotel dropoff for $53.
“Our family is so glad that we booked this round trip transfer. We did not need to worry about navigating each booth for payment. Our guide was there to direct us where we should go and the process was fast. I would highly recommend this.”
Shared door-to-door transfer from Caticlan airport to Boracay hotels with ferry, fees handled, bottled water, and map.
“Seamless transfer from airport to port, port to boat transfer, destination port to hotel. Our luggage was handled by their staff from start to finish at the hotel. It seemed like we had our own entourage of people taking care of us. Will be using them on the return as well. Highly recommend.”
Private van transfer from Puerto Princesa to El Nido with hotel or airport pickup, a comfort-focused ride, and optional cultural stops at Underground River and Fort Santa Isabel.
“The driver was very good, we reached El Nido safely. Initial part of the drive he was driving very fast like more than 100 km/hr, but later in the drive he became slow. We landed half an hour early at Puerto princesa and the driver was already there. We started on before time and reached within 5 hours. We stopped for 15 min for dinner.”
Unwind for up to 3 hours at Mactan Cebu Airport’s Plaza Premium Lounge with Wi-Fi, buffet meals, and family facilities, for about $39.
“my stay in the lounge whilst waiting for my boarding gate to open was okay. In the meanwhile, few things were missing (which I wasn’t expecting), like butter for my toast + they haven’t got a bread knife for me to use to smother my strawberry jam- hence, they advised me to use a teaspoon instead.”
Private NAIA to Manila transfer with meet-and-greet, air-conditioned car, and English-speaking driver. Skip taxi lines in about 25 minutes.
“I could have caught a taxi much quicker. The car was nice and staff was good but there was an unacceptable wait for someone to take us to a vehicle. I paid for this service so I would get to my hotel quicker and with less stress.”
Private transfer from Ninoy Aquino Airport to Manila hotels with name-sign pickup, onboard Wi-Fi, and a driver who can help you settle in fast.
