Discover pristine coves with limestone cliffs, teeming with swallows and palawan red hornbills. Snorkel in its marine rich coral reefs with unbelievable underwater visibility.

ISLAND HOPPING - To go on Island hopping is something you ought to do. We are sited in the middle of a huge ocean, with thousands of small undiscovered islands and islets that mark Coron harbor and Coron bay, and explore the shallow waters and mangroves in a kayak or in a banca (paddle boat). Motorized banca proceeds to nearby beaches for more Island activities like kayaking, snorkeling and swimming. This is a popular picnic spot among the locals.

KAYANGAN LAKE - it’s a brackish water that many foreign & locals likes to go outings sometimes called the Blue Lagoon. This beautiful picture-perfect scenery can be seen after a walk up a mountain trail. About 15 to 20 minutes and exploring with its limestone cliffs formations and crystal clear waters are awesome and that almost took my breath away. Swimming in the cleanest lake in the Philippines fresh water lake (with a bit of salt water) in the Philippines is an experience that every Filipino should have. The entire area is perfect for taking portrait shots with limestone cliffs in the background and clean lake in the middle ground. It is the scenic landscape, crystal clear waters, that attracts and fascinates most foreign & local’s travelers.

TWIN LAGOON
These twin lagoons are separated by limestone cliffs with a small underwater tunnel where a brave tourist could swim underneath. It is dangerous which adds to the appeal and challenge to tourist who dare to go to both lagoons. You need to take a deep breath and do a deep swim to avoid the jagged edges of the limestone cliffs. Best to stop by when its low tide so easier to swim trough inside.

BANOL BEACH is just one of the many white sand beaches you can find on the island of Coron, Palawan. It is a small, cozy beach with two small huts which you can rent from the local folk. There is an entrance fee; it’s a token amount easily affordable. The water was blue and pristine. The place is quiet and relaxing. It is a good location for snorkeling and kayaking since the numerous limestone cliffs surrounding the large island of Coron are worth exploring from the sea. Usually it’s the stopped place for picnic Lunch.

The limestone cliffs rise sharply above you and dive deep into the lake. The lake is crystal clear and blue. There are catfish and other small fish around. We were told there was a barracuda, but we never saw it. Your first impression of this lake was that I was in the shooting location of Jurassic Park!

WRECK DIVE WW-II Coron is one of the most visited destinations for wreck diving in the Philippines. Wreck dive sites are found in a depth as shallow as 10-30 feet and as deep as 120-140 feet. Most are in the range of about 60-80 feet, perfect for sports divers. On September 24, 1944 this island was a witness to the US Navy’s aerial bombardment of the Japanese cargo and support vessels, seeking shelter in its turquoise waters. These have now become a sanctuary for a variety of marine creatures that call these wrecks their home. Wreck Diving Sites in Coron Bay includes the Irako Wreck, Okikawa Maru Wreck, Akitsushima Wreck, Kogyo Maru Wreck, Olympia Maru Wreck, Kyokuzan Maru Wreck, East Tangat Gunboat Wreck, Nanshin Maru Wreck, Lusong Gunboat Wreck and Skeleton Wreck. Because the wrecks have been under water for about 60 years they have become coral reefs in their own right. Both simple and advanced penetration dives are possible. Thus they are suitable for experienced wreck divers and those just starting this type of diving. They are also a delight to dive externally, as reefs, to experience the abundance of life they have attracted.

TAPYAS HILL - This trek is a gradual climb along the back ways and low hills to Mount Tapyas. Stop at any (or all) of designated look-out points to appreciate varied vistas of Coron’s waterways, its mangrove forests and surrounding islands, and Mount Darala. View Uson Island and Coron Island from different perspectives and on a clear day see all the way to the Culion group of islands. Flora visible include among others, ginger plants and pitcher plants.

From the top it’s about a half hour walk back down to the town.
