  Traveler•Written August 2025
  Do we fly out of El Nido back to Manila?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2025
  The duration of the trip is 8 days. If you plan to opt out from Day 7, please let us know your plans in advance, as this would need to be arranged on your own. The flight included in the trip package is from Manila to Puerto Princesa at the start of the trip, so we would not be able to arrange that flight as your return at the end of the trip. You would need to make your own way from El Nido to Manila. If you plan to follow the itinerary as it is and end the trip on Day 8, please note that El Nido has a small airport that services flights to Manila, with AirSwift operating multiple flights daily to the capital.
