Philippines West

Gema is the most incredible person, she is a beacon of happiness and positivity and is an absolute natural at her job as a guide. Gema was always there for any questions I had and would always listen and provide solutions to any problems I had. I couldn’t recommend Gema enough and I wish I could take her with me in my pocket everywhere I go!

Philippines Island Explorer 13 day

The Intro Philippines tour was one of the best trips I've done! It was adventurous, packed with plenty of water activites, and as a solo traveller it was a great way to meet people. We had Andri as our tour leader - even before the tour started he was welcoming and helpful - he gave great suggestions for activities in Manila as I arrived early. During the tour he was always approachable, knowledgeable, fun and engaging. The tour flowed so smoothly, making for a stress free holiday as we weren't worried about logistics - just left to enjoy an adventure-packed holiday. The best part by far was the 3 day, 2 night boat expedition from Coron to El Nido, where we spent our days relaxing amongst the most beautiful islands, snorkelling, sleeping in island huts and playing volleyball with locals. I couldn't fault Andri as our group leader, and highly recommend both him and the Intro Philippines tour.

Philippines Island Hopper

This tour was incredible and the perfect balance of everything ???? Gemma was a legend, the best tour guide I’ve ever had. She went above and beyond for everyone, always looking out for us and making sure we are having the times of our lives. Recommend her 10000%

A Week In Palawan, Philippines

Almost excellent except for the quality of the hotel at el Nido, it was a 1 star hostel. The people of the tours were very nice and kind. The food pf the tours was very good for the seafood lovers. The transport from Puerto Princesa to el Nido was uncomfortable and long; but it is the only way to reach there. Marice was excellent answering all our questions via WhatsApp

Philippines One Life Adventures - 14 Days

Absolutely incredible tour, the activities were great; personal highlights where the private island stay in port barton, cultural experience day in El Nido and ship wreck diving in Coron. Sheena our guide was amazing and ran the whole 14 days so smoothly and was always integrated into the group. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a trip to palawan, the pace was perfect with not too much travel included! I'm already looking at my next tour with one life :)

10 Days Do The Philippines Adventure Tour - Palawan Islands

Just finished the 10 days Philippines tour carried out by Do You Travel. At the beginning, when we figured out that most participants in our group of travelers are single and/or much younger than us, my wife (62) and I (68) thought we had comitted a mistake selecting this trip. The itinerary, the organisation and, above all, very positive group dynamics proved us wrong! We think the biggest merit for this goes to our tour guide Jovain Orlina! We were observing this young man handling complex organisational issues and even more complex (inter)personal challenges with remarkable ease and with passion at the same time. He had a nice word for everyone, open smile in every situation and he managed to reach full identification with the group as a whole. Jovain became part of us. He resolved all problems with skill and dedication. He made us feel relaxed and confident, he opened our hearts and, together with other members of the group, created relaxed mood throughout the tour. Some distracting events like, for example, overall disatisfaction of one group member with the tour, Jovain dealt with patience, in wise and thoughtful manner. However there is much room for significant improvement of one important aspects of the tour. Accomodation could and should be better! The food was for the most part ok, but some selected hotels were not even able to serve a decent breakfast. Rooms were small and in some cases not very clean. Overall, great tour, great group and excellent guide made us enjoy this trip a lot. The best part of the tour was a 3-day cruising expedition from El Nido to Coron on board of Tropical Paradise 7 boat. Excellent cook, skillfull, discrete and attentive crew made us feel thrilled and safe. This was a memorable experience, indeed. Thank you Jovain, thank you Do You Travel. ????

13 Days Philippines Explorer with Boracay

The overall experience was really good and the places we visited were beautiful. I enjoyed all activities included in the tour. The transport between the various locations/activities/airport/hotels were all timely - all the local providers have been very professional. The main area of improvement is around the accommodation. Boracay - Red Coconut The location is great and close to all amenities. The hotel was clean and staff welcoming. However, the hotel is surrounded by bars which play music until 2am, so that is the earliest you can think about going to bed, which is really not that great. I would recommend finding another alternative in a quieter part of the island, even if it is a bit more expensive. I doubt people will complain about having a decent night's sleep. Cebu - Red Planet The hotel was not great at all, the room was so small that we had to block the entrance in the room, as that was the only space that allowed us to open the luggage. Location was ok. A better hotel alternative should be found. Manila - Lub di Makati Whilst we had our private bathroom and the room was good, I was surprised that the accommodation was a hostel rather than a hotel. We were on the 11th floor but the room was noisy. Breakfast was included but it was below decent. Puerto Princesa The hotel had bad reviews on Booking.com. No wi-fi in rooms, you had to be close to reception area to catch some signal. Our room was ok, no particular issues found for the one night that we stayed there, despite the bad reviews. Location not great, closest restaurant was 20min walk away, although tuk-tuks are available for a cheap fee. El Nido Great location and the quality of the hotel was very good. Noisy room, due to proximity to bars and traffic. Coron Best hotel we stayed at during our holiday in the Philippines. Quiet rooms which allow guests to rest. It is c45min walk away from the restaurants but the tuk-tuk is cheap so getting there is not necessarily an issue. Although location is not ideal, it does allow guests to enjoy their time in a quite place, without the buzzing traffic and loud music. Probably the only hotel which does not need an upgrade. Overall, I would suggest investing in better hotels and provide travelers with an option to upgrade for an additional fee.

What people love about coron tours.

Team Violet was incredible!!! The tour was beyond any expectations and the crew, especially Jerome and Paul, were so attentive, warm and funny. The food was soooo yummy and I missed the chef’s cooking once I left! Plenty of food to choose from and they accomodated to all dietary requirements. The islands were stunning and loved our fire on the beach to get to know each other more. Our tour group ended up making a WhatsApp group chat after all of our bonding together and I think our strong bond was due to Team Violets efforts to make us feel safe, happy and cared for! 5 Stars!!!

AJ our tour guide was amazing

This was one of the best trips I've done. The itinerary was the perfect mix of activities and down time & I felt, hit the key places I'd travel to if doing it fully solo. Whilst the tour itself and the people I met on it were a big part of me having the best time, it wouldn't have been the same without our tour leader Andri. He helped join the group together before we even started and made everyone feel included once we got there. He was the best mix of chilled and reliable, super knowledgeable and put the needs of the group first like the wonderfully caring human he is. We always knew what we were doing and when and it felt like he made the trip run so smoothly - I only had to worry about turning up and having a good time. If you're thinking about booking this DO IT (and pray you'll have Andri has your leader)

The Best Group Tours in Coron (2023 Reviews + Itineraries)

01/22/2023 by Ashley Yap Leave a Comment

This post was written by Ashley Yap, BMTM’s Director of Brand Relations.

Coron is seriously beautiful. The island is known for its world-famous freshwater lagoons and majestic limestone cliffs. Every year, tourists from all over the world flock to try this enchanting paradise. I’ve been looking forward to visiting for years, and when the opportunity finally came, I decided I wanted a taste of everything.

During my week-long visit to Coron, Palawan, I took a mix of private and group tours and enjoyed some better than others. Here are my honest reviews and advice to help you plan your time on this beautiful island:

Table of Contents

Big Dream Boat Man Coron Island Life Expedition, $450

The BDBM Coron Island Life Expedition may have been my favorite adventure in the Philippines. For three days, I and a small group of fellow travelers from all around the world joined the BDBM crew as they took us to both the iconic spots in Coron, such as the Twin Lagoon and Kayangan Lake, and also secret places off the beaten path, such as this gorgeous cay that reminds me of the Maldives:

We spent our days swimming in the ocean, eating delicious seafood, and taking naps on the multihull nets by our adorable Banka boat in between. We slept in cottages under the stars at night, with nobody else around us. It was truly an adventure like no other and a refreshing experience compared to the typical island hopping tours available all over town. I cannot recommend this expedition enough and would love to check out their Coron to El Nido or El Nido to Coron adventure the next time I visit.

Initially, the price tag may seem exorbitant, but you are covered with three days of island hopping, all meals and drinks (including alcohol), and three nights of island-style accommodation. With a bit of calculation, you will find it’s truly worth the money! For an in-depth review and itinerary on the BDBM Coron Island Life Expedition, click to read this post .

Book the tour here!

Coron Super Ultimate Day Tour, $28.95

If your time on Coron island is short, and you only have enough time for one day trip, the Coron Super Ultimate Day Tour covers all the highlights, including Kayangan Lake, Barracuda Lake, Twin Lagoon, two reef gardens, and two beaches. I joined the group tour expecting it to be a little bit overwhelming but was pleasantly surprised by how well spread out the day was, and our group even had Kayangan Lake all to ourselves for a good 15 minutes.

For $28.95, this tour includes hotel transfers, a professional English-speaking guide who is informational and entertaining, seven stops, and a buffet lunch break on the beach. The pace of the tour is relaxing, with ample time at each stop and a well-thought-out route that allows rest in between stops.

You can rent snorkeling gear for 150 PHP, which is generally true for both Coron and El Nido island hopping group tours. I was happy to have my own snorkeling gear. Bring a refillable water bottle, water shoes, and reef-safe sunscreen for this tour.

Coron Island Escapade Day Tour, $28.25

The Coron Island Escapade Day Tour covers Malcapuya island, Ditaytayan island, and Bulog Dos island, three beautiful spots with unique views and decent snorkeling on Malcapuya island, of which you have the option of swimming out from the beach or paying 100 PHP for a small boat to pull you over while you hold on to the planks on the side of the boat. I opted for the latter simply because I had never tried that method and found the experience amusing.

To be honest, I have mixed feelings about this tour. It’s definitely value for money given the distance from Coron Town Proper to these islands, but it felt like we spent more time on the boat than on the islands on this tour. I also didn’t like that the small boat’s guide (not from the tour) fed the fish biscuits and fiddled with the corals to get the fish out, so people can get great photos. Overall, given that I had joined the BDBM expedition and visited many islands earlier, I was not blown away by this tour.

That being said, if you are looking for a relaxing day tour with lots of time spent sunbathing and swimming, this is the tour for you. interested in joining this tour, I recommend bringing along a Kindle to kill time on the boat. I also recommend swimming out alone instead of paying for the small boat to snorkel on Malcapuya island.

All of the above tours are great if you are traveling solo and would like to meet others on your trip, but if you are in a group or simply prefer privacy, a private tour may make more sense:

Private Island Hopping Tour, prices vary

Private tours are expensive, for good reasons. On group tours, I often wish we had more time on certain stops and less on others, but that’s not really up to me. Customizing your itinerary is only possible with a private tour; at each stop, you can come and go as you please. I also noticed that group tours departing from Coron town follow the same route, so unless you happen to be the first boat out, you will share space with others. On a private tour, you can organize the boat to leave much earlier in the day so that you get to experience the popular places without the crowds.

Here are your options if you plan to do a private island hopping tour:

• Coron Tour A (CYC Beach, coral garden, Atwayan Beach, Siete Pecado, and Kayangan Lake): $106.15 for 1, $128.90 for 2, $152.97 for 3-5, and so on.
• Coron Tour B (Barracuda Lake, Skeleton Wreck, Banol Beach, Twin Lagoon, and Reef Garden): $107.25 for 1, $129.80 for 2, $149.97 for 3-5, and so on.
• Coron Tour C (Coco Beach, Ditaytayan Island, and Malcapuya Island): $151.15 for 1, $88.85 for 2, $66.90 for 3-5, and so on.

All of these tours include hotel transfers, buffet lunch, snorkeling masks, and entrance fees.

Based on the pricing, it’s definitely worth taking up a private tour if you are a group of 5 or more. Now, what if you want complete control of the itinerary? Head straight to the dock (tell the tricycle driver you want to go to Calamian dock, and he’ll know what you mean), and negotiate with the boat drivers yourself. Here’s a detailed guide on organizing a private Coron island hopping tour.

Coron Town Private Half Day Tour, prices vary.

I wanted to check out Mt. Tapyas and Maquinit Hotspring during my stay on Coron island. I rented a bike for half the day for $7 and went on my own . If you are not confident on a bike, the Coron Town Half Day Tour will be the best solution since it takes you to both spots, plus Lualhati Park, a cashew factory, and St. Agustin Church. This is a private tour, and prices are $59.19 for 1, $37.35 for 2, $34.95 for 3-5, and so on. As you can see, this tour only makes sense if you are at least 2, so if you are a solo traveler and are not confident on a bike, I suggest negotiating with a tricycle driver to take you to these places at a cheaper rate.

I hope this guide helps you plan your Coron island hopping tour! I really enjoyed my time in Coron and would highly recommend visiting. Read these next to continue planning your Coron itinerary:

Coron Ultimate Island Tour In Palawan: What To Expect

The remote Philippine island of Coron may not be as popular as its cousin El Nido , but the scenery here is just as amazing, and it’s great for island hopping tours.

There are a bunch of different boat tours to do in the Coron area, and all of them are worthwhile, but the best 1-day tour is the Ultimate Coron Palawan Tour (aka Coron Tour A) that hits most of the highlights near Coron.

This page covers the Coron island tour and the main things you can expect to see on it: Kayangan Lake, Coron Twin Lagoon, Skeleton Wreck, CYC Beach, Malwawey Coral Garden, and more.

We’ll have more general Palawan info and a map of all the Calamian islands soon!

Best Coron Day Tour Packages

First of all, if you’re looking for a good tour provider, Klook has high rated Palawan boat tours for very competitive prices.

Their Coron Ultimate Tour package (aka Tour A) costs 1,600 peso ($30 USD) and includes all of the usual stops like Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoon, plus some good beaches and snorkeling locations. You also get free lunch and hotel pickup. This is a better price than many of the tour companies you’ll find on the street in Coron town!

The other advantage of booking an online tour like this is that you can pay by credit card or Paypal, so you won’t have to run to the ATM constantly (and the ATMs in Coron are not known for being very reliable in the first place).

Book Now: Coron Palawan Tour A  

Coron Ultimate Tour (A) – What To Expect

The Coron island tour A includes 6-7 scenic stops, and you can expect to spend about 45-60 minutes at each major stop (with the exception of the short one at Skeleton Wreck).

It’s worth noting that your tour guide will probably tell you 30-45 minutes at each stop, but it usually ends up being closer to an hour at each stop because of stragglers (and that’s okay!).

The full tour runs from 8 AM to 5 PM (or later) since you also have to spend an hour or two on the boat riding between islands. No worries though, because even the transit bits are scenic and filled with good photo ops!

Lunch On The Tour

Free lunch on the boat is included in every tour, with a typical lineup of grilled fish, pork, chicken, veggies, rice, and plenty of fresh fruit like pineapple and watermelon. Most tours give out snacks near the evening too.

All of the food was great. Some people worry about the hygiene / food prep safety on these boat tours, but in more than two dozen tours our stomachs never had any issues at all (and we ate like pigs)!

This is the most famous viewpoint at Coron island, and there’s usually a long line to take pictures of it. You can see why! Even when the lagoon is clogged with tour boats, it still looks amazingly scenic.

After you hit up the viewpoint, you can walk down to Kayangan Lake for a quick swim. The lake is nice too, but it gets a little crowded and you’re forced to wear a life jacket. I prefer the viewpoint.

• Coron Twin Lagoon

This is an incredible pair of turquoise lagoons, and for me it was probably the highlight of Coron because of the jaw dropping drone photo ops. You can take amazing aerial pictures at the twin lagoon.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a great spot for swimming and kayaking, and even pics with your phone will look nice, but just check out some of these barely edited photos from above!

• Malwawey Island

This is a small island sticking out of Malwawey reef. We took our lunch here, chilled in the hammock, and then did some swimming with the fish.

Depending on where you book your Coron Palawan tour, some companies may skip this island and go to one of the other beaches instead, like Smith Point Beach, Banul Beach, or Atwayan Beach, but all of these are in the same area and look pretty similar.

• Skeleton Wreck

This is a cool World War II shipwreck that went down near the Malwawey reef.

You can reach Skeleton Wreck by freediving (no special gear needed), but since it lies about 10 meters deep it’s not the easiest feat and may not be for everyone.

In any case, you can see better things if you do a bit of scuba diving around Coron.  

• Malwawey Coral Garden

The Malwawey reef was one of the places we stopped for snorkeling. We didn’t see a ton of fish here, but we did see beautiful coral in good condition, and the depth was shallow enough to see all of it up close.

Depending on where you book your tour, some companies may skip this spot and go to one of the other snorkeling spots instead, like Siete Pecados, Twin Peaks, or Smith Coral Garden. All of these are pretty amazing!

• CYC Beach

This is a tiny circular island just off the coast of Uson island. It has a nice white sand beach, and coconut/drink sellers paddling around in canoes selling their wares.

The water at CYC Beach is shallow and we saw some great fish and coral here, but watch out for incoming boats because the island does get a bit crowded throughout the day.  

List Of Tour Locations

Here is a complete list of locations you might see on the Coron ultimate island hopping tour.

Keep in mind, not all Coron tours manage to visit every single one of these places in a day tour:

• Atwayan Beach
• Banol Beach
• Barracuda Lake

• Hidden Lagoon
• Kayangan Lake
• Kayangan Viewpoint
• Malwawey Coral Garden
• Siete Pecados
• Skeleton Wreck
• Smith Coral Garden

Where We Stayed

We stayed at Coron Visitors Hotel in town for 1,400 pesos ($27 USD) per night. This price got us a clean double bed with cold A/C and a private bathroom.

Keep in mind this is a relatively remote island in the Philippines, and the hotel scene is still struggling to develop and catch up with rapid demand, so don’t expect luxury.

Even so, this is one of the best budget friendly hotel options we could find in Coron. The location was perfect -— just a 5 minute walk from great restaurants -- and the staff were very helpful in arranging airport transfers, tours, and other things for us!

Prices may fluctuate from time to time, so just keep an eye out for a good deal.

Best Time To Visit Coron

Where to stay in coron, coron itinerary, day 1 itinerary in coron, day 2 itinerary in coron, coron itinerary: day 3 and beyond, staying safe in coron, day trips from coron, faq on coron itinerary.

When planning a trip to Coron, it’s paramount that you know what to expect from each month so you can make an informed decision about when you want to go. Coron is one of those places that does have some weather extremes, so you will find a big difference between each season.

There are mainly two big seasons in Coron, each that need to be considered when considering to visit Coron. First, there is the rainy season, which is from mid-June to September. This is when Coron’s  skies  open up the heavens, a lot of places are closed, and it may be unpleasant to visit! However, if you do go during this season, there are obviously dry days when you can do some exploring.

The second is the dry season, this season runs from October to mid-June. This is a more ideal time to visit, as the sun is out and shining! The heat can get extreme, but there are plenty of places for you to cool off and escape from the sun, so it’s fantastic. You won’t be in for much rain at all during this season, and days are consistently hot.

 You can expect Typhoons from June to October, so if you plan on doing a lot of boat trips, this won’t be the best time to visit. They don’t usually hit Coron directly, but it does affect the tides.

 Ultimately, the most relaxed time to visit is in the dry season, but if you do go during the rainy season, you can still have fun!

Coron offers an endless amount of laid-back, exquisite places for you to stay. No matter which area in Coron you pick , you are bound to feel like a new person by the time you leave. We will share with you some of our favorite places to stay in Coron, so you have a better lay of the land on your Coron itinerary.

Coron Town Centre is a place booming with the local atmosphere. You may not see it at first glance, but this place is wonderful! You will be able to take part in the local markets, and you can enjoy what it feels like to be surrounded by the authentic life of the islanders. This is also the best place to stay if you’re wanting to eat your way through Coron, as there is every type of Filipino meal served here.

The West Coast of Busuanga Island is a wonderful place to stay! Busuanga is Coron’s main island and offers plenty for everyone. It’s easy to get to and from this area and navigate around Coron from here. You will be right on the coast and able to enjoy astounding views and magnificent sandy shores daily. The island vibe is contagious in Busuanga!

The North Coast of Busuanga is also a popular spot to stay! As it is still part of Coron’s main island, it is very close to all of the major attractions and beaches. However, you will feel a sense of tranquility here, as it’s not as bustling as the other places on the island. Enjoy a secluded destination that you can recluse back to after a day out in Coron!

Best Hostel in Coron – Hop Hostel

 For a comfortable stay in a quirky hostel, Hop Hostel is the place! You can enjoy a great location and friendly staff as well. You will be in the best spot for day trips to the Calamian Islands and have all your amenities at hand.

Best Luxury Hotel in Coron – Two Seasons Coron Island Resort & Spa

 For world-class amenities and 5-star treatment in Coron, look no further than Two Seasons Resort and Spa! This luxury resort is found right smack-bang on the stunning beachfront and is overflowing with recreational activities and elegant rooms. You can even find luxury bungalows! Enjoy the best of the best at this top-notch hotel.

We will share everything you need to know about the best way to get around on this Coron Itinerary! You will need to know which options work the best, so that you can effortlessly get to where you need to go.

One of the best and most obvious ways to get around is via boat. You will find docks and harbors on every major island in Coron bay. These can vary in cost, but most are quite affordable. It’s the boats that take you to the big sites that can start to cost a lot, but then it is very much worth the extra buck.

 You can also consider flying, as there are some airports dotted around Coron. This is not as expensive as it sounds, and it is a fun alternative to boats if you struggle with sea sickness. Coron’s main island, Busuanga, has a wonderful airport!

Habal-Habals are the best way to quickly get from A to B on land! They also offer you the chance to experience the Philippine’s signature traveling modes, something that has started since the boom of tourism. These are very cheap, and often the local driving you has a fantastic idea of where all the best places are and can take you to some more off-the-beaten-track destinations.

Walking in Coron is wonderful, but it isn’t the best way to get around. Taking a few strolls or walking between bars is one thing, but facing the beating sun during the day on a long-distance walk is not going to be pleasant.

Lastly, you can rent a bike. This is the best way for those of you traveling in pairs or alone. You can choose your timing and feel free as you explore the many winding routes of Coron!

The Lusong Coral Garden is a hidden gem in Coron that most tourists miss on their visits, making it appealing to those seeking more off-the-beaten-path kinds of sites. This coral garden has a huge history and has been named after the Lusong Shipwreck. This ship used to be a WWII vessel, and it is now an amazing dive and snorkel site for everyone to enjoy in Coron!

The Lusong Coral Garden has become over time one of the top-rated reefs in Coron, and it is only lightly visited due to its location. In comparison to the popular lagoons and beaches of Coron Island, this site is a bit more complicated to reach. You will need to hire out a boat with a guide who knows where to go, but once you get there, it is a true ocean haven!

The coral garden is an unbelievable spot for freediving, snorkeling, swimming and even just relaxing by to admire the shipwreck from the surface of the waters. You can also gaze around you at sheer drop-offs of the Lusong Coral Garden’s limestone cliffs! If you visit here, be sure to protect our waters by practicing good coral etiquette .

• Cost: USD $2 per person
• Food Recommendation: The beach has a simple eatery where you can get a quick meal and a sweet cool drink to wash it down with.

This lazy beach is a must-see place on our Coron itinerary, and it is a great place to reminisce about your journey and take a break from the crowds. The super laid-back atmosphere is welcome after a day of adventure! Chilling out on the benches and having a cool drink here is a wonderful way to sightsee in Coron with minimal effort, so you can rejuvenate before the next stop.

The ocean water in this open, wide beach, is just the right temperature and depth for frolicking! You can mess around with friends, and even play with some of the local kids in a game of soccer. The water is very clear, so you won’t be able to resist the urge to take a dip, and you can even do a quick kayaking excursion whilst you are here.

Another activity to do at Atwayan Beach is snorkeling! You will find some of the most beautiful corals on the left-hand side of the beach, but don’t expect to see many fish. The ones you do spot will be relatively large and territorial.

Atwayan Beach may not be the most beautiful white sand beach on this itinerary for Coron, but it really is the most unique and perfect spot for a short nap, a swim in the water and a few drinks.  There’s also a rad beach volleyball court if you feel up for a game!

Day 2 / Stop 4 – Concepcion Falls

• Why it’s awesome: A chance to see more of Coron than the pristine beachscapes!
• Food Recommendation: K-Sarap Express has a unique atmosphere where you can truly relax, and their food is fantastic!

Most people when they travel to Coron assume that all there is worth seeing on the island is it’s famous lagoons, lakes, beaches and islands. While these certainly are a highlight, Coron offers so much more than that if you’re willing to try out the less touristy spots.

For a more unusual, sort of off-the-grid experience, the Conception Falls is the best! You can breathe in the fresh island air, walk through densely vegetated ecosystems and find yourself in the heart of a jungle! This magnificent place is spotted on the west of Busuanga Island, and it’s cheap to hop on a habal-habal and reach it.

The falls are a secluded gem! You won’t find huge crowds, and you can enjoy serenity in one of the most beautiful places to visit in Coron. This stunning little oasis has a waterfall that will take your breath away! It pours out into a beautiful large green-blue waterhole that is surrounded by rich, tropical jungle leaves and plants. There are also small spurts of the waterfall that trickle down from the cliff walls.

  Insider Tip: The gorgeous waterfall runs downstream into Conception Town, so you can even enjoy rapid floating if you get tired of freediving into the picturesque clear waters!

Day 2 / Stop 5 – Banol Beach

• Why it’s awesome: This beach has distinctive limestone rocks and beautiful coral gardens!
• Food Recommendation: La Sirenetta Seafood Restaurant & Bar is a stylish place to enjoy dinner that tastes like it was just fished out from the ocean! Enjoy the last night of your 2 day itinerary for Coron and indulge in a few fun cocktails.

Banol Beach is one of the most popular and fun beaches on Coron Island. This beachscape is teeming with natural wonders, both underwater and on the sandy shores that truly enchant tourists!

You will find this beach situated in the northwestern part of Coron Island, just waiting to welcome you with open arms. Banol Beach’s most distinctive characteristics are its limestone walls, and diverse, colorful coral garden!

You can enjoy sunbathing and watch as the sun sets over the tropical horizon! Watch as the golden rays light up the underwater paradise and the fish begin to sparkle with life just before the sun goes down. Enjoy the last few moments of your unforgettable journey on this Coron trip itinerary!

Bulog Dos Island

• A highly popular tourist attraction in Coron!
• A secluded paradise.
• One of the many beautiful islands of the Calamine Islands !

Travel along the wispy ocean seas of Coron and find yourself at the immaculate, white sand shores of Bulog Dos Island! This short stretch of beach is magnificent and will blow you away with its dreamlike beauty. The ocean waters are clear-aquamarine and make the bays of this beach looks as though it is a massive aquarium. You must visit here while backpacking through the Philippines.

You will see a variety of colorful fish, squid, starfish, sting rays, and even turtles (if you are lucky) on the long snaking sandbar. These marine animals are not shy and will sometimes come to swim right next to you or around you. You can enjoy expansive views of the open seas, and feel the calmness of the island’s lazy ocean. 

What makes this island truly stand out from the rest is it’s impressive and stunning rock formations. These rocks add to the atmosphere and make for remarkable photos . You can also discover coral reefs, just past the layer of seagrass from the shore.

Malcapuya Island

• One of the largest Calamine islands with very little population!
• Known for several Japanese shipwrecks that have occurred in its waters.
• A must-see island adventure just waiting to welcome you!

A short 20-minute boat ride from the shores of Coron, awaits the Malcapuya Island! This island has an entrancing, mysterious skyline that will captivate you. The entire island is full of exotic plants, animals, and thick jungle for you to spend hours exploring.

The entire island of Coron makes up a home to the ancestral indigenous tribe, the Tagbanua. These people have a passion for living in harmony with nature, and are primarily fishers and gatherers of surprisingly lucrative bilinsasayaw (birds nests).

Due to this tribe’s concern about how tourism could affect their land, they have marked off selected areas that are open for tourists to enjoy. That’s why it’s so rewarding to make trips to the nearby islands, like Malcapuya island!

This island offers a truly tranquil experience to all travelers, and is a great place to enjoy the beauty of an authentic, untouched island.

Chindonan Island

• A beautiful island in Coron Bay!
• Has drinkable, fresh water.
• Incredibly popular hot spot for tourists.

Not far from Coron awaits the Chindonan Island! This island is a true island dream come true with everything you could imagine on a tropical platter. Due to this island’s clean drinking water, it is more habitable than other islands and has a lot more going on.

You can find remarkable resorts on this island, so staying a night here is a great idea! That way, you can also partake in a nighttime party and watch the sunset over the island’s beautiful white sand beach.

During the day, there is plenty to see and do on this island other than mingle and enjoy resorts! You will find a bunch of breathtaking tropical forests, with many varieties of birds swinging in the trees. If you venture with a guide, you can be taken to some of the island’s notorious water springs! This island adventure is a must one our 3-day itinerary for Coron.

Bayside Plaza

• A sweet chill spot in Coron!
• Free entrance.
• Situated right by the Coron harbour.

One of the most unique gems on our Coron itinerary is a visit to the Bayside Plaza. This is one of those activities that won’t take long but it still well worth doing. This plaza is found by the Coron harbor, making it easy to quickly shoot off to after returning from one of your day trips from Coron. There is a place close-by to also grab a bite to eat and relax afterward.

The Bayside Plaza offers striking views over the famously scenic coastline of Coron! Coron’s coastline is dotted with the most enigmatic, picturesque islands, and you can see most of them in the vast ocean horizon from the Bayside Plaza.

There aren’t that many lookout spots in Coron, because it is a mostly flat landscape. So, finding one such as the Bayside Plaza makes it magical and such a treat. You can sit back on a bench, take snap shots and marvel at the sunrise or sunset from this serene spot.

Skeleton Wreck

• A site full of historical significance!
• If you’re a strong swimmer, you can simply swim out to this spot.
• Best viewed during low tide.

Coron has a seabed that is thriving with marine life, but it is also famous for being the graveyard more than a handful of shipwrecks. Some of these ships were Japanese, and the shipwrecks date back from World War II. Everyone feels a sense of eeriness around these shipwrecks, as the war affected the entire world. You can now visit some of these sunken ships on the bays of Coron, at Skeleton Wreck.

Among all of these sunken warships, the skeleton wreck is the most easy to reach from Coron. This mysterious warship site is located just a hundred meters from the shores of Atwayan Beach. You can make a day of visiting this and enjoy lazing out on the relaxed beach.

Some people opt to just swim from the coastline, but you can hire out a boat and ride the waves. It’s a very quick trip via boat. The best time to make this journey is during low tide. This makes it all the more amazing, because this is when the wreck is so near the surface of the water that the feet can easily touch the edge of the ship, allowing for a more intimate experience.

Most people when traveling to a new place- especially in Southeast Asia- will feel a bit scared and not know what to expect. One thing you can know for sure is that Coron is typically very safe. It’s one of the aspects of this truly special place that makes it so welcoming, spirited, and an absolute blast to visit!

You will meet tons of friendly Filipinos, all willing to help with the odd apple falling off the cart now and again. The only major things to watch out for is bag-snatching and pick-pocketing. This can happen at all times, so be vigilant. That being said, it’s not likely to happen. You can walk around looking like a sore thumb of a tourist, and not feel threatened.

Women who choose to travel to Coron alone should just keep in mind general safety tips. Things like don’t walk around at night on your own, and don’t leave your dink unattended. One of the more dangerous types of people in Coron are more likely to be the other foreigners and not the locals, so just use your intuition when meeting new faces.

If you’re ever feeling uneasy, it’s simple to contact the police and ask for escorts, or for them to simply check things out for you. You won’t experience this, but it is good to know that they are willing to help all tourists and be at hand if need be.

On a side note, when it comes to paying for your habal-habal ride, try to have a general idea of how long your trip is. Sometimes, the poorer drivers will try to scam tourists and change you way more than necessary, simply because they can. If you know how long a trip should take you, or the general route, don’t let them take you the long way!
