Buy Fresh Seafood before going to Island Hopping
elhombre30 Says: The Coron market near the pier is the first stop before Island Hopping. You will be advised by the boatman to buy your desired seafoods and they'll cook it for you while cruising.Don't worry about cooking paraphernalia because the boatman have a simple cooking area at the...
Sunset at the peak of Mt. Tapias
elhombre30 Says: Sunset is one of the most beautiful daily sights. We always look forward for a sun to set especially on a Sunday afternoon at the beach with a family or someone you love. Although they occur every day, the quality and majesty of a given sunset depends largely on the amount...
Exciting! Found a big starfish
elhombre30 Says: We were all enjoying while swimming in the beach and to my surprise, i saw a huge starfish exactly where I was about to step. My initial reaction? I freaked out because I was really afraid hahahah! Then when I swum a little bit to stay away from the starfish and again looked...
elhombre30 Says: Yes.... make friends while you travel. The photos above are our new found friends in Coron. They are Let, Krishna and the newly married couple Aileen and Ron. The first time we met was in Maquinit Hot spring on our day 1. Let approached us and asked a favor to take them a...
One of the Best Snorkeling site in the Philippines
elhombre30 Says: I experienced snorkeling in Boracay, Panglao Island in Bohol, Bantayan Island in Cebu and Puerto galera in Mindoro but the best snorkeling ever was here in Coron.Too bad I do not have underwater camera. You will see stunning underwater creatures. Colorful corals and...
I always want to get to the edge of the boat
elhombre30 Says: As seen in some of my photos in Coron page, I got plenty of photos of myslelf in the edge of this small boat. It really fun! I love doing it over and over, flying position, standing on the edge or just simply seating on it. Just be careful as some part of the hopping has...
elhombre30 Says: I just love to see this thick green mangroves along the lagoon we passed by during Island Hopping. This is really not extraordinary since the boat will just go through this shallow area. But it was fun to see the boatman driving and his companion manage to get through a...
elhombre30 Says: Yes! You will own an Island for a certain a day. I experienced this in Pass Island about 1 hour a half travel by boat from main Island in Coron. We were the only traveler for the entire day. We walked along the shoreline, feel the fresh air, hear nothing but the force of the...
elhombre30 Says: Pass IslandThis is just one of the must see Island in Coron. This islet can be reached by hiring a boat for 3,500 pesos for entire day round trip. The boat carries up to maximum of 10 so the many the better so you can share the cost.Yes you will own the Island! Notice that...
360 D view of Coron at the peak of Mt. Tapyas
elhombre30 Says: Reaching the peak of Mt. Tapyas is a must-to-do during your first stay. It's best to hike before the sunset for a 360 degrees view of the entire Coron Island.You need to take 700 steps before reaching the peak. Its all cemented and easy way going up. There are grab bars and...
Palayok Restaurant: A touch of Filipino resto
elhombre30 Says: I was not able to research more about restaurant and food in Coron. During our first night we decided to go out and look for a place to dine. I saw one establishment which catches my sight for it native hut design and with some local artifacts makes the ambiance so perfect...
La Sirenetta: Good Food but Expensive
euberbi Says: I read a lot of good reviews about this restaurant so we had our first meal (late lunch) in Coron here. Including our drinks and tax, our meal set us back P800! Don't get me wrong, the food was delicious! I'm just wondering why their seafood costs so much considering Coron's...
gef_fontanilla Says: If you need a car service to and around Coron, please feel free to contact Kuya Bing Abis. A very honest and accommodating man, a typical Coron local. He offers car service to and from the airport going to Coron town. A trip to Calauit can also be negotiated. A man with all...

sleepygirl25 Says: Well we were out snorkelling near Siete Pecados. I was quite tired so I was just hanging near the boat when I heard my friends happily shouting that they saw Nemo (a clownfish) and then I heard a scream.... a friend of mine saw a jellyfish with a head as big as a coconut...
gacortes Says: Beach Bag, a "rubber ducky" (it's a brand of a bag that can float in the water) as much as possible since exploring the place would be via boat where you can get wet if the waves are strong. To keep all your things / valuables protected. It is advisable to wear your...
roysandejas Says: After the tiring Calauit Safari Trip, if you're travelling by land, ask your guide to take you to Concepcion Falls. the cool water will rejuvinate your senses. There's no entrance fee (for now) so it's worth visiting :)
Best Time to go to Maquinit Hotsprings
roysandejas Says: We visited Coron last June 25-29, 2009. Based from our experience, the best time to go to Maquinit Hotsprings would be from 6pm onwards. They're open til 10pm anyway.If you can go there everyday during your stay in Coron, do so. But if you have to limited time, I suggest...
amaranth621 Says: Sirenetta Restaurant in Coron is a "floating" restaurant in the water with a good view. It's very breezy, but the flooring is actually very stable, and the ambiance is quite romantic at night. The price range for their pasta and pizza dishes starts at P200+ each. The staff...
npamo Says: You can try Sea Dive Resort ( www.seadiveresort.com ). You can spend one whole day island hopping and another day walking around the town and probably going to Maquinit Hot Spring which you can get via tricycle or boat. The resort can arrange your tours. By taking the WGA...
