Island Hopping Coron

If I had to chose a favourite island in the Philippines it would have to be Coron, I had no expectations when visiting this island and it was very popular when I visited as it was a little harder to get to. I would definitely recommend not going on a ferry that cost $10 because it was the worst experience of my life but would I relive it again if it was the only way to get to Coron then yes! But I would definitely chose to travel by plane now.

Like El Nido, Coron is made up of different islands. They also have the A,B,C,D tours the same as El Nido and this is the cheapest way to travel and see all the amazing spots to visit in Coron. I again chose to do a private tour and all you have to do if you want this is head to the boat wharf and talk to the locals to see who can offer you the best price, I definitely recommend this if like us you have a lot of camera gear or want to steer clear of a lot of tourists.

MUST SEE PLACES IN CORON

  • Katanga Lake - The cleanest lake is in the Philippines and a beautiful place to see,

  • Blue Lagoon - Surrounded by limestone cliffs, it is a spectral swimming spot,

  • Barracuda Lake - It is the clearest waters in Coron and a haven to divers and snorkelers,

  • Twin Lagoon - Is a glorious pool of water hiding amongst beautiful cliffs and the only way to get there is to swim through a hole in the cliffs,

  • Coral Gardens - One of the best spots for snorkelling in Coron.

There are so many spots to visit in Coron but if you only have limited time here these are definitely the ones you want to visit!

I definitely think Coron should be on everyones bucket list, it is an incredible place to visit and there is so much to see and do. One spot I definitely recommend when visiting is Ala - E Hippie House, this little place is the coolest restaurant/bar and you can watch the sun set with a stunning view from this location. I will definitely be back here someday.
