• Whether you're coming from the Puerto Princesa Airport, El Nido Airport, or El Nido Town, your destination is 'Nacpan Beach.' Every local knows it, and there is only one parking lot and drop-off point on the beach. From the drop-off point, walk to the beach and (facing the ocean) turn left. Mad Monkey Hostel Nacpan is located 150 metres along the beach. It is advisable that you bring a backpack with you; wheeled luggage will be a challenge as you will walk on the beach to get to us.
