Coron town is a Fishing village that offers mostly sea attractions so traveling on outrigger boats will be part of your vacation. Prices depends on what destination but it starts at P1500.00. Boats ahve various sitting capacity depends in the number of your group.
Most boats have cooking utensils because your boat captain will cook your food on board and you will eat to an island where you want to have your lunch. The food will be at your own expense bought from Coron Public Market.

There are also boats that are going to El Nido from Coron town.

Princess Welia Supercat departs on Thursdays and Sundays for inquiries you can contact Ding Manait at +639067185317.

MBCA Jessabel departs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays for inquiries you can contact +639076741918 and +639085620916

Boat fare is P2,200 per person and all will depart at 7:30 AM in the Coron Pier.

There are also jeepneys located near Lualhati Park that are bound to different areas of Busunga Island but it is always full so it is not comfortable to travel so renting a tricycle or van is still recommended.

The fastest and more convenient way to to reach Coron is via local airlines that have regular trips to Busuanga everyday. check the availability of flights on their website. The last time I checked all airlines only have 1 flight schedule everyday. To avail discounted airfare, one must book 2 months in advance. Fare usually starts at P1500.00 depends on the date of booking and season.

Tricycle is the mode of transporation around Coron town. I noticed that the design of the tricycle specially the seating on the rear part resembles that of jeepneys which is quite different from the ones in Manila but I’ve seen this design to other provinces too.The Price varies depends on the destination. P8.00 when you will go to SUbasco and P300.00 to Maquinit hot spring.

If you want to save on time, get the best value for your money while enjoying your food afloat a boat and surrounded by breathtaking sights, then you should contact our boatman Kuya Jong! He can cook superb food, at your choice. He also knows the exact spots of the 2 Japanese shipwreks which were ruined during the WWII. These are now home of the countless species under the sea. We had danggit, boiled eggs and rice for breakfast while Kuya Jong was steering the boat on our way to the 1st island. (Coron danggit for me is the best since it is not too salty and you can still taste/eat the real fish meat!) For lunch, we had steamed crabs, fish sinigang, and inihaw na pusit. The next day, we had the same breakfast (which confirmed our craving for Coron danggit). And for lunch, we had pinakbet and grilled fish. I can honestly say that i enjoyed everything that he cooked. And if you want to burn the calories after the sumptuous breakfast/lunch you can take your plunge and enjoy the grandiose beauty of Coron under the sea!

Coron is tiny town in Palawan archipelago, you can walk all the town in 20 min and there is no much to see there, all people coming there for island hoping or diving.
Boat renting for nearest islands cost 1500 php and for far islands 2000-3000 php, lunch and entrance fees are not included.
If you are group of 1-3 maybe it is better to buy a boat tour. Actually we found only one travel agency with good prices which I can highly recommend. It is “Calaman expedition travel and tours”, their advertising you can find in the attached file.
The island hoping I cost 650 php including simple lunch and all entrance fees, I don’t know how they survive as entrance fees was about 350 php by itself. I was in Coron just 2 days so did only 1 tour with them but they have a lot of tours to select from.

hello..

I think i was the one who told you regarding the boatman in Coron, his name is Kuya Jong - 09084499523

if you also intend to go to Calauit, i heard it was nice there, and i also plan on going there when i go back to coron.

You can negotiate terms with him, but it will depend on the date, how many you are and the weather of course..

make sure you contact him earlier so he can reserve that day for you.

i hope this helps. :)
