February 21, 2020 By Jimmy Huss

Aren’t they just unreal? 

Such is the exquisite charm of this one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines that not even a high-end camera could justify the surreal beauty of this place. Now after this short virtual tour of Coron Island, if you have made up your mind to add this sublime destination on your Philippines tour, let’s talk about the Coron Island Hopping Tour. After all, this is the best way to explore the gorgeous and astonishing Coron Island. In this post, I have covered all the important information that you need to plan a Coron Island tour. So, here we go!

Philippines Travel Note

Since it is an island hopping and you can expect to explore a number of lakes and beaches, hence, it is recommended to give plenty of time to explore the region. 

Kayangan Lake 

One of the most popular hideouts on the Colon Island hopping tour is the much famous Kayangan Lake. This is one of the astonishing places where you can click pictures for Instagram. Along with swimming, you can also expect to indulge in a scuba diving experience here in Kayangan Lake. Besides, you can spend some leisure time strolling and relishing the natural beauty of this place. But, I personally recommend you to visit the lake in the early hours of the morning as by 10:30 AM it gets packed with oodles of visitors. 

Coron Island Hopping




Twin Lagoon

While in Coron, make sure your island tour in the Philippines includes Twin Lagoons as it is one of the most sought-after attractions in the region. The beauty of this place is breathtaking, literally. As the name itself suggests, Twin Lagoon is a pair of startling blue lagoons. But, it’s the beautiful backdrop that brings the attention of tourists to this place. The lakes are set amongst a backdrop of black, vertical, jagged karst walls. You can swim here and enjoy an amazing time here at Twin Lagoon. But like Kayangan Lake, it is best for you to visit this lake in the early morning. The entry ticket is 200 pesos. However, it is recommended to keep your ticket/s organized beforehand to avoid any hassle. 

Coron Island Hopping




Barracuda Lake

Most of the island Coron island tour packages include either Kayangan Lake or Barracuda Lake. But, some operators give you a chance to explore both on their tour package. Thus, I would recommend you to choose the one which includes both the lakes. For your amusement, Barracuda Lake is one of the popular hideouts in the region amongst tourists for an ultimate diving experience. And during that experience, you can expect to catch the sight of Barracuda fish along with the limestone cliffs on the lake bed. If you are not considering diving, then do carry your life jackets (as they are mandatory here) and snorkeling gear to capture the sight of the limestone formations which is the key attraction of this lake. 

Smith’s Beach

Many tourists do not consider Smith’s Beach as an important inclusion on their Coron Palawan tour, yet it is worth a visit. You can expect to spend a lovely evening here on your tour. The beach is dotted with wooden beach shacks where you can just lay and adore the pristine beauty of the surrounding. You would be amazed to know that the water of the ocean here is crystal blue which arouses a sense of curiosity amongst tourists to visit this place. There are also a number of coconut water shops. If your tour package includes Smith’s Beach, then you will spend an hour here probably in the evening and that would be enough for you to explore the gorgeous beauty of Smith’s Beach. 

Coral Garden

If that’s not enough to astound you, then here is the next nature’s wonder on this list of this island hopping tour of Coron in Palawan. As the name itself says the highlight of this place, Coral Garden is known for its vibrant and awe-struck corals and marine life. Here in Coral Garden, you will get to explore these while swimming at the bottom of the water. However, as a responsible tourist, it is important to know that you do not step on any of the coral as they are very precious and need to be preserved. The best thing about this place is that the waters are so crystal clear that you can even get the sight of corals from your boat itself. Do not forget to take your cam with you so you can capture some of the most unparalleled and unreal sights of mother nature. 

Coron Island Hopping




Skeleton Wreck

Last on this list is Skeleton Wreck. This popular destination is known as the home to a number of shipwrecks. However, most of these wrecks are only accessible to certified divers. There is one World War II wreck which is one of its kind in the region. To explore these wrecks, you don’t need any gear. People often prefer to just swim all the way to these wrecks. If you are an avid diver, then exploring these wrecks would definitely be an interesting activity to do here. Otherwise, you always have the option of snorkeling, which is also pretty amazing.

Where to Buy Coron Island Hopping Tour Package

Just to let you know, Coron town is situated on Busuanga Island. This is the place where all Coron Island accommodation options are available for tourists. Island hopping tours in Coron totally differ from one tour operator to another. This means that you will not find the attractions (mentioned-above) the same in all tour packages offered by the local tour operators here. Hence, I would suggest you buy your tour package offline, i.e., when here in Coron Island. You can buy the tour package either from your Coron, Palawan hotel or from a retail outlet in the town. Coron island tour rates totally differ from one operator to another as well. Thus, feel free to compare all options and then choose the best one as per your preference and budget. A day tour of Coron Island hopping usually starts from 9:00 in the morning and ends at 5:00 PM.

Sometimes you have to look at things from a differ Sometimes you have to look at things from a different perspective in order to see what you hoped for. As you travel getting to locations early is a must for me, being able to capture places and people without having the mass crowds is hard if you aren’t an early bird. It took a little bit of waiting to get the right shots but it was well worth the wait 😍⁣

It all started with a culture shock, a feeling of It all started with a culture shock, a feeling of uncertainty, the feeling of something new. For me travel, all started in 2016 when I was first stationed in South Korea. I got off the plane at 11 PM and had no clue what to expect, what to eat, or how to get around or find my way. This was the turning point in my life. The point that forced me outside of my comfort zone, pushed me to be a better person and learn something new. ⁣
⁣
When I travel people ask me how I choose destinations. It used to be based on cost, where I could go that was cheapest, while still allowing me to step outside of my comfort zone. Now it's based on experience, although I was hoping for more vibrant wildlife Costa Rica was a place that allowed me to not only put myself and @jrherrm in a completely new situation but see some of the most beautiful birds we have ever seen. ⁣

I have to say La Fortuna was my favorite place we I have to say La Fortuna was my favorite place we visited in Costa Rica Full of incredible sites, beautiful wildlife, and the sounds of waterfalls and nature around every corner. One of the coolest parts about La Fortuna is right in the center of town is there is Parroquia San Juan Bosco. This is a small church where on a clear day you can see Arenal Volcano steaming in the back!⁣
⁣
The plan is to visit again, but this time I think we will head to deep into the rainforest where things are a little bit more undeveloped and hard to reach.⁣

For us, staying dry and keeping all my equipment safe is a TOP priority. In all my camera bags we carry a rain cover as well as a rain jacket. Even though we weren’t in the rainy season yet it sure did rain  A LOT in Costa Rica. @thinktankphoto⁣
Has been our go-to bags and gear for more than five years and we are excited to announce we will be continuing this partnership with the launch of some pretty incredible bags at the end of the month! ⁣
⁣
Thank you @thinktankphoto for always supporting @divertliving and @optimuminfluencemedia. From travelings to hobbyist and professional, there’s no other company we trust with protecting our equipment like @thinktankphoto⁣

Místico Arenal Hanging Bridges is a great adventure rain or shine, it took us about two hours to make it through the whole park but being under the rainforest canopy really was beautiful! ⁣
