If you’re going to book with them ask for Ariel, he is absolutely perfect.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience with Palawan Transfers. Communication via WhatsApp was fast, friendly, and very professional from the beginning. Our driver, Ariel, was outstanding. Even though our flight was delayed, he patiently waited for us at the airport, greeted us with a smile, and helped us with all of our luggage. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, air-conditioned, and perfect for our group. Ariel drove safely and made sure we arrived at the Four Points by Sheraton Palawan without any issues. His kindness, professionalism, and reliability made the start of our vacation completely stress-free. We highly recommend Palawan Transfers, and especially Ariel, to anyone visiting Palawan. Thank you for the excellent service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend this van service! Our trip from El Nido to Puerto Princesa was very comfortable despite the 6-hour travel. The van was clean, well-maintained, and the ride was smooth throughout the journey. Special thanks to kuya Ariel for being incredibly patient, professional, and accommodating. He even took the time to stop when some passengers requested a pasalubong break, making sure everyone was comfortable and had what they needed without making anyone feel rushed. If you’re looking for a reliable and comfortable transfer between El Nido and Puerto Princesa or vice-versa, I highly recommend kuya. Thank you for making our trip enjoyable!
