Coron Palawan is located in the Calamianes Islands, a group of islands in the western part of the Philippines.

The area is surrounded by numerous islands and islets, each offering its own unique beauty and charm.

Planning your trip to Coron Palawan can be overwhelming, with so many attractions and activities to choose from. To make things easier, many tour operators offer pre-designed Coron Palawan tour packages that include accommodations, transportation, and guided tours. These packages cater to different interests and budgets, ensuring that you can find one that suits your needs. This is the most preferred way that tourists in Coron avail simply because of convenience.
Coron tour packages range from day tours, two-day tours, and even multi-day tours. Families prefer multi-day tours arranged for them by a single tour operator especially if they are staying in Coron for a few days. It’s more convenient for them. While others prefer one-day tours and arrange another with a different tour operator. This gives them the freedom to choose the tours that they prefer or in cases where they did not like the service of the first tour operator.
Choosing the right tour packages in Coron boils down to your preference and your needs. You will not run out of choices here.
If you prefer to plan your own itinerary, there are plenty of resources available online to help you create a memorable trip. Start by identifying the top attractions you want to visit, such as Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoon, and Mount Tapyas. Then, allocate enough time for each activity and consider transportation options, such as hiring an exclusive speed boat or private outrigger boat or joining group tours.
However, circumstances may not always be in your favor, and time may be a limiting factor in planning your trip. In such cases, we highly recommend at least spending 3 days and 2 nights for a comprehensive tour of Coron. This is where our Exclusive 3D2N Coron Tour Package comes into play, offering a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation for those with a more limited time frame. With this tour, you will be able to enjoy a host of activities and explore the beautiful sceneries of Coron, Busuanga, and Culion, Palawan.
Other tour operators offer as many as four and five days of tour. This allows them to see more places, do more activities in both sea and land. Because Coron is not all about the beautiful beaches and limestone rock formations. There are other interesting activities that you can do inland like farm tours, cycling, and hiking.
If you are worried about over-budgeting, more especially if you are travelling with a huge group or a family, availing pre-planned tour packages can help you better visualize a good understanding of your overall expenses in Coron.
Don’t forget to visit Barracuda Lake, famous for its unique thermocline phenomenon. As you dive deeper into the lake, you’ll feel a sudden change in temperature due to the stratification of freshwater and saltwater. This creates an otherworldly experience that is not to be missed.
Siete Pecados Marine Park is an incredible destination for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. It boasts a diverse and colorful array of marine life and stunning coral formations to explore.
Other destinations include CYC Beach, Hidden Lagoon, Maquinit Hot Spring, and Calachuchi Beach, among others. However, if you have limited time to spend in Coron, the top destinations we mentioned above are must-sees (at least in our opinion).
Booking a speedboat tour package while visiting Coron, Palawan is highly recommended not only for the thrilling ride through famous attractions but also the convenience of reaching more remote spots that other tours cannot get to, making it an ideal choice for those who want to visit more places in a shorter amount of time. Read our comparison between speedboat and traditional boats.
If you prefer to stay on land, hiking to the top of Mount Tapyas is a popular activity. The panoramic view from the summit is truly breathtaking, especially during sunrise or sunset. Remember to bring water and wear comfortable shoes as the climb can be steep. You can also do cycling around the town and the mountain sides.
Kayaking and paddle boarding are also highly recommended in Coron. Go explore the long rivers covered with thick mangroves. Interact with the locals while they catch river fishes, crabs and shrimps.
For a more relaxed experience, island hopping and swimming are the must-do activities in Coron. Explore the nearby islands and discover secluded beaches, snorkel in pristine waters, and enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Coron is accessible by air and sea. The most convenient way to reach Coron is by flying into Francisco B. Reyes Airport, also known as Busuanga Airport. Several airlines offer regular flights to Busuanga Airport from Manila and other major cities in the Philippines. From the airport, you can take a van or a tricycle to reach the town of Coron.
The three major airline carriers are SkyJet, Cebu Pacific, and Philippine Airlines.
If you prefer a more scenic route, you can also reach Coron by ferry. There are regular ferry services from Manila, Puerto Princesa, and El Nido to Coron.
2GO Travel is your best and most convenient option if you are coming from Manila. This is the same shipping company that goes back and forth to Puerto Princesa. If you don’t mind the long sea travel, we highly recommend this option. On the upper deck of the ship, you can mingle with the locals and sing karaoke all the way to Coron. With good weather, you can catch one of the best sunsets in the world in Manila Bay.
If you are coming from El Nido, your options are Atienza Shipping Lines and Montenegro Lines.
The ferry journey takes longer than flying but offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the stunning views of the sea and the surrounding islands. Depending on the weather and sea condition, Manila to Coron takes about 10-11 hours.
