Today, Coron is known as a prime tourist destination with its beautiful beaches, marine parks, wrecks, scenic spots, world-class services and accommodations and its hospitable people. It is halfway between Puerto Princesa City and Manila. Because of its insular characteristics, boats and planes are the main transportation facilities to and from the above cities. You can take a flight from Manila to Busuanga Airport via Cebu Pacific and PAL Express (45 mins flight) or 13 hours cruise from Manila to Coron via 2G0.
The best and safest way to go to Coron is to coordinate with Tour operators/travel and tours accredited by the Local Government of Coron. They will provide what you need from the All-in tour package and Day tour trips. You may also create your own itinerary and coordinate it with them. A good air conditioned airport-town transfer is also included. There are lots of hotels and resorts to stay in Coron. You may ask the tour operators to recommend the best. The Coron Licensed Tour Guides Association (CLTGA) can be a great access if you want to look for a tour guide (contact 09998826043-President) or simply leave a message to facebook account Coron Licensed Tour Guides.
Secure your payments/deposits. Always ask confirmation or official receipt for every payments made.

Please be informed that Coron is now under the Municipal Ordinance # 81-A. An ordinance regulating the use of plastic bags and styrofoam in business establishments in the Municipality of Coron, Palawan and prescribing penalty thereof.

In reply to Wox.

Hi Wox, Thanks!

Actually, we are on a budget travel during our visit in Coron. We rented a room in a residential-type inn which is quite distant from the beach and the town proper on our first and last night. Second night, we camp (we brought our own tent) in Banana Island.

If you have plans to dive, try contacting Dive link resort or discovery divers resort. During our visit, we don’t actually do a deep sea dive with tanks and gear etc., the ship wreck (in Bahul Island) we visited wasn’t too deep or enough for an average swimmer to reach. The experience was part of our two-day island hopping and boatmen usually offer to arrange your deep sea diving which we didn’t take.

In reply to Setti Tanwangco. Hi Setti. Thanks! It was a borrowed camera. We are using GE Underwater cam but I am not particular with the model; its either G5WP or G3WP.

Hi Sir Bong,

Mt Tapyas hike is best done before sunset. Witnessing the sunset at the summit is lot more spectacular that what most of us expect.

Food at Kawayanan Grill and Coron Bistro.

Life vests are available when you rented a boat (it’s a protocol) while most boatmen offered PhP100/day rent for snorkeling gear.

Hi there,

Your pictures are breathtaking and I’m sure the real scenery will be spectacular. How much is the boat per day and what’s the maximum capacity? We are planning to go this April and we won’t be staying in one of the islands overnight. We’ll just go back to our place then resume the next day. Any pointers and tips to do while we are there? How was your route? How about the gears like life vest and gears? Is there a fee for the lifevest? thanks.

In reply to Marx. Marx, It is not an app. Built in yan ng Wordpress sa kanilang media uploader. But you can use html codes to put a caption on your photos.
