By Air
For short-term visitors, the most convenient way to reach San Vicente is by air. Sunlight Air offers direct flights from Manila to San Vicente airport.
The airport is located just a 20-minute drive from the town proper, and a quick tricycle ride from the airport to your hotel on Long Beach would only take 10 minutes.
In case a direct flight to San Vicente is not available, Puerto Princesa International Airport can be used as an alternative, which is about 4 hours away from San Vicente.
By Road:
Regular shuttle vans operate to and from Puerto Princesa, providing an affordable and convenient mode of transportation. However, if you prefer a more comfortable and hassle-free ride, hiring a private van would be the best option, especially for large families or groups of friends.
The road from Puerto Princesa to San Vicente is well-maintained and in good condition, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey.
For those traveling to or from El Nido, it’s recommended to book a private transfer as there is no reliable public transport available on this route. This will ensure a stress-free and enjoyable travel experience.
