Terminals & Pickup Points
Where to Find Us
Every Cherry Bus terminal — San Jose Terminal Puerto Princesa, El Nido Transport Terminal and Rio Tuba — with addresses, directions, and what to expect on arrival.
Terminal logistics are the part of the trip nobody warns you about. Here’s the practical version.
San Jose Terminal, Puerto Princesa
San Jose Bus Terminal, Barangay San Pedro, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
About 6km from Puerto Princesa International Airport — roughly 15 minutes by tricycle. Book online, show your phone at the terminal, and walk to your seat.
Departure point for Puerto Princesa → El Nido, and arrival point coming back.
El Nido Transport Terminal
El Nido Transport Terminal, Rizal St., Barangay Corong-Corong, El Nido, Palawan.
A shared, multi-operator terminal, so other buses and vans will be present too. Look for the Cherry Bus signage or ask terminal staff to point you to the right counter.
Departure point for El Nido → Puerto Princesa, and arrival point on the way in.
Hotel pickup at PPC Hotel
On the Puerto Princesa side you can start your trip at PPC Hotel instead of the terminal — a real pickup option passengers already choose, currently running at around 130 seats a month with no marketing behind it.
Select hotel pickup at the booking step rather than the terminal, and be at the lobby ahead of your departure time.
Rio Tuba
Cherry Bus also operates to Rio Tuba in southern Palawan, the jumping-off point for Balabac and Bugsuk ferry connections.

From Puerto Princesa Airport
Tricycle to San Jose Terminal, about 6km and roughly 15 minutes. Allow more during the afternoon school run.
From El Nido town proper
The transport terminal is in Corong-Corong, south of the town centre — a short tricycle ride from most Town Proper accommodation.
How early to arrive
Arrive with enough time to find the Cherry Bus counter and load luggage into the hold — both terminals are shared, so signage matters.
