Puerto Princesa to Sabang – Private Transfer offers a smooth, stress-free way to make your way between these two highlights of Palawan. For $129 per group (up to 10 people), you’ll enjoy a private van ride that takes roughly 1 hour 30 minutes, allowing you to relax without the hassle of public transport or crowded shuttles. Starting from Puerto Princesa International Airport or your hotel in the city center, the service promises a personalized experience with exclusive use of your vehicle—be it a Toyota Grandia GL, Toyota Commuter, Nissan NV350, or the Nissan NV350 Premium.
What we love about this transfer is the ease of scheduling—you can request your departure time, making it flexible to fit your travel plans—and the focus on comfort. The driver will pick you up directly at your chosen meeting point, whether at the airport or your accommodation, and you’ll enjoy the scenic 2-hour drive with 2-3 short stops along the way. The second highlight is the opportunity to visit the UNESCO Heritage site at Stop 1, a perfect way to stretch your legs and soak in some iconic views.
One potential consideration is that this transfer isn’t suitable for strollers or pets, so if you’re traveling with young children or furry friends, you’ll need to consider alternative arrangements. Also, since the vehicle type is at the provider’s discretion, you might want to specify needs in advance if you require particular accommodations.
This private transfer suits travelers who prioritize comfort, privacy, and flexibility.

What to Expect from the Experience
From the moment you book, the focus is on making your journey as smooth as possible. The service accommodates your preferred departure time, with the flexibility to adjust at least one day in advance. This is particularly helpful for travelers with flight schedules or tight itineraries. The meeting point at 318 Manalo St. or the pickup at Puerto Princesa International Airport — specifically at the BOC Coffee Lounge — keeps things straightforward and hassle-free.
Once you’re seated in the vehicle, you’ll notice the luxury of having your own private space, free from the disturbances of shared shuttles. The fleet includes several vehicle options, such as the Toyota Grandia GL, Toyota Commuter, Nissan NV350, and Nissan NV350 Premium, chosen at the provider’s discretion. These vehicles are generally spacious and comfortable, making the roughly 2-hour drive quite pleasant—even with a few stops along the way.
The Itinerary and Stops
The main stop en route is at 6 P. Vicente St, a location where you can stretch your legs and enjoy a quick visit to the UNESCO Heritage site. While the stop itself doesn’t include an entrance fee, it’s a good chance to take photos and appreciate the surroundings.
The drive itself is scenic, with views of Palawan’s lush landscapes and coastlines. We loved the way the driver maintains a relaxed pace, giving you an opportunity to enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. The stops are brief but sufficient to break up the journey, clear your head, and perhaps snap some memorable photos.

As one Tripadvisor reviewer put it, “I couldn’t be more pleased with the services of this provider, in my experience their reliability and commitment is second to none.” The private nature of the transfer offers peace of mind, especially after a long flight or a busy day of sightseeing.
However, it’s worth noting that the transfer does not accommodate strollers or pets, which could be a concern for families or travelers with animals. Also, since the vehicle type is at the provider’s full discretion, you may want to clarify your needs when booking.
Why it Works Well
This service is particularly suited for groups of up to 10 people, making it a cost-effective way to ensure everyone travels comfortably. Given that the journey includes some scenic stops, it’s perfect for those who want to enjoy the surroundings rather than just focus on getting from point A to B.
