North on the El Nido highway, then west on the winding spur road down to the coast. Several van companies run it daily from San Jose Terminal.

The last 22 km used to be Palawan's most notorious stretch of mud; it's paved now, just twisty.

  1. San Jose Terminal, Puerto Princesa Start
    0 km from start
    Morning and early-afternoon departures.
  2. Port Barton End
    ~140 km from start
    Vans drop at the edge of the village; everything is walkable.
Sit on the left for the coastal views on the descent. Book your van out of Port Barton a day ahead; seats are limited and the town empties north toward El Nido every morning.
