Thank you for such a wonderful informational post. We will go to Coron this summer with my kids. I found out that UltimateCoronExperience.com/ 09184659010 offered special rates for kids:
2 years old and below are free of charge (No Bed and Breakfast),3 years old to 6 years old – 50% off per person rate, 7 years old to 12 years old – 30% off per person rate. I’m glad they have something like that. I was able to save more for our pocket money.
Hi leah…manythanks from you blog.next year I will visit coron w/ my wife.also plan to stop to elnido…any suggestion or advice.thank u xo much…god bless….boyetcruz
Thank you for your informative blog. You’ve listed all the must-see places for the island/beach hopping experience. I’m having difficulty planning our itinerary since we only 2 full day for our trip. I would like to allot a day for this, and it’s good to know that all these places can be seen in a day.
Where can we find boats/groups to join in for the beach hopping? I haven’t been there yet so I’m unfamiliar with the places. Some resorts I find online are far from the beaches and I haven’t read any post mentioning the name of the area where there boats for beach hopping. I checked for packages online and they are quite expensive. I also need to consider where we will be staying or else we will be spending more for the fare expenses.
Hi.
You mention about agoda.com
just wanna know if its legit? Im here in kuwait and i would like to make a reservation to them.
Thanks 🙂
we will be going there with my favorite wife (lol) this dec 10 and stay there for 4 days , i want to thank you for this guide
Bear: Hope you had fun!!
cooll….dami nyo na adventure mam! 🙂
ano po camera gamit nio dito ang ganda ng shot’s?
Salamat, Rendel. I use Nikon D3100. It’s years old but still okay 🙂
Hi! Just wanna here an opinion from you. Which do you think is better? Arranging a package tour or just go there having our own itinerary considering the money and time as well as the convenience. I need any recommendation from a traveler like you. Thank you!
Sorry for the late response! Just arrange everything yourself. There are tours there you can join.
Hello, I would like to ask how to book the tours/island hopping in Coron? Can you recommend a reliable tour agency?
I can recommend Nice in Paradise Tours. They have fliers in the airport and in your hotel probably. I also took a day tour via Coron Galeri but half of their snorkels were defective, at least in our group. Loved their free coffee at their office, but with defective snorkels, I wasn’t too happy with them.
How much is the total expense? 🙂
Hi Marie! Excluding airfare:
Roundtrip transfers — P300
Hotel for 3 nights — P3000
2 day tours + Mt Tapyas — P1800
Food — P700
You can cut down on hotel expenses. Take a look at my suggestions on where to stay in Coron: https://www.solitarywanderer.com/2015/03/stay-in-coron/
Just one omission from the Coron Island post is kayaking. Paddling from and back to Coron town lowers your carbon “footprint”, helps with fitness, and gets the most out of the experience: you can enter lagoons that you would otherwise not enter and you can experience the peace and quiet away from motorised bancas, the mainstream island hopping vehicle. And yes, we at Tribal Adventures, operating in Coron since 1999, offers daily sea kayak trips to Coron Island on sit-in AND sit-on kayaks. Your guide is the incomparable Julius Villamor and yours truly, when I’m not at Busuanga adventure retreat Camp Calauit. Feel free to visit Tribal Adventures at Tribal Cafe, National Highway, Bancuang, Coron town.
Hey Greg. I would love to go kayaking when I get the chance to visit Coron again. Thanks for the idea!
@ Dennis: Yeah, even in El Nido, they turn off the electricity during the day. Glad to hear you enjoyed your Coron vacation!
My wife, cousin and I had a great time in Coron last year. There were great views from Mt Tapyas, the hot springs were great and island hopping was a lot of fun. There was beautiful scenery, especially on the hike to Kayangan Lake. Plus, our island hopping tour included lunch on the beach cooked by our tour guide Bong. The only bad things were that they shut off the electricity a few times a day and our flight back to Cebu was cancelled due to rain.
@ Freya: I would also love to soak in the hot springs!
ooh I would love to do the hot springs and go snorkeling there? It looks amazing.
Beautiful photos as well.
@ Photo Cache: Palawan will always be an excellent choice for chilling. 🙂
@ Dana Carmel: No idea how deep but the water looks marvelous!
I’d love to use this itinerary whenever I finally make it to Palawan. This looks like the perfect place to escape from it all, and Lake Kayangan is absolutely gorgeous! It looks so serene. I wonder how deep it is.
This would be my #1 place to visit in PI. I’d do a lot of chilling and sightseeing 🙂
@ Mike: I, too, would love to swim in Kayangan Lake. The water’s so clear!
@ Winston: I answered in the other post. Check it out. 🙂 https://www.solitarywanderer.com/2012/02/backpacking-solo-in-europe-for-70-days/
Hi Aleah, I’m Winston from Sarangani/GenSan. You are an inspiration to all the newbie-traveler like me. Keep inspiring Youngbloods! 🙂 I would like to ask how much did it cost you re Eurotrip? I am planning to do the same (max of 30 days) soon enough. Thanks and Appreciate it!
Terrific guest post and thank you for sharing her with us, Aleah! I’m all in for Kayangan Lake! Oh my gosh the swimming and beaches…yes please! 🙂 I would also like to do some shopping in Coron as well! 🙂
