These sources contradict each other
- The two sources collected directly contradict each other on which direction leaves in the morning. One has El Nido departing at noon, the other at 6:00 AM. Neither is the shipping line itself.
- One source lists three departure pairs with no operator attached to any of them, so it is not possible to tell how many vessels actually run this route.
- Because of that, no departure time on this site should be used to book a connecting flight. Confirm with the operator or at the pier.
What we have not verified
- Whether the service runs every day. Sources disagree on weekend sailings.
- Fares for any class other than standard, and whether other operators serve this route.
Known unknowns are listed rather than filled in. If you can confirm one of these first-hand, tell us and it gets added with the date it was checked.
