How did transportation and dining work?
I'm finishing up my last video for Palawan and then will move on to the trip report. You could look at my channel to see the first two videos.
You provide your own transportation to TayTay. We took a private van from the El Nido airport to the town of TayTay. It can be a bit difficult to get a ride from the airport unless you prebook. The private van was around $40-60. On the way back we did a shared van, which was around ~$5-8 per person. They are actually quite nice and on time. They will pick you up in TayTay wherever you'd like and drop you off at your hotel or airport in El Nido.
From TayTay to the island you will take the NoaNoa speedboat. If you book directly through the island this is free. They typically are the same price or lower than on Agoda.com, so it's probably better to book through the island for the free boat ride. Otherwise there is a charge.
The dinning is a fixed price per person. You get three meals and one snack w/ fruit smoothie. The quantity of food is quite large. I would rate the food as somewhat average to above average. It's probably the best food in the area.
PM if you have any questions.
