Day 4 (Island Escapade B)

Banana Island

Bulog Dos Island

Malcapuya Island

---

Officially our Day 4! One of the exciting tour! Coron does not only have lakes, hot spring... but it also have different beautiful beaches! The travel time to each island is a bit long, so make sure to bring your snacks in this tour!

Above our first boat for the tour, ‘Boss Carlos’! Unfortunately, we had to transfer to another one due to its machine issues. I really don’t know the specifics, but yeah~ we waited about an hour in the middle of the sea...

Our First stop for the day: Banana Island! Look at the color of the water and the white sand! Just o m g! 

Love the trees! Not just the typical coconut trees by the beach. 

Had our lunch at Banana Island! Most of our group are Filipinos!

Liempo! OMG, something new for the lunch food selection haha!

Love the food for this tour! <3

The color says it all, from shallow to deeper water real quick! It was very nice to snorkel here!

Beautiful!

Hi Self!

Hi Jas! 

Hi sis!

Hi Jerico!

Hi Ate Jocas~ :)

We are the snorkeling kids!

Underwater view! ‘From shallow to deeper area’

Hi fishy!

The water is so clear! 

I love Banana Island water! 

First stop is so enjoyable! On the way to the next one: Bulog Dos Island!

Bye Banana Island~!!

I took this picture of my sister! (so proud lol)

Sand bar! Who doesn’t love sand bars!

Who took this picture! lol, seriously?

Two Seasons beach at the back (private island) 

My photograph once again! Captured from my Huawei P10! (Lol)

One of my favorite photograph! 

This island is seriously beautiful! My pictures don’t give it justice at all!

Bulog Dos, I don’t wanna say goodbye!

No worries, next island does not fall from its beauty too!

I’ll be back Bulog Dos Island!

Next stop: Malcapuya Island! Last stop for the day :’(

The boat docks at the other side of the island. And here’s the way to the white sand beach!

This mini boat brought us to the Malcapuya best snorkeling spot! You’ll feel like you’re swimming in an aquarium! Do you see the two ropes for each side? We just hold it while we float and admire the underwater sight! I swear, this has one of the best snorkeling sight in Coron!

Do you guys see Dory? Haha!

Giant clams! It closes when you touch! So interesting! 

Fishes, anyone?

Chippy for your lunch! Hahaha

Come to mama!

Guess who?

Peek-a-boo!

Finding Nemo is real!!

Goodbye fishes! 

White sand, love it!

And here’s the other side..

And that was it for our Malcapuya Island experience!

So beautiful and definitely unforgettable!

We arrived late at the port, the tour extended because of the incident with our first boat. But that did not make this tour less exciting. We witnessed sunset on our way back! 

And ofcourse, we had our dinner after the tour. 

The View Deck Grill House! Food was nice, price is reasonable. It would’ve been better to try here at daytime though! They have a nice spot for overlooking Coron sea!

Day 3 (Coron Tour B)

Twin Lagoon

Skeleton Wreck

Reef Garden

Smith Beach

Baraccuda Lake

---

Day 3 already! Lets go directly to the tour!

Another perfect weather day! 

Our first stop: Twin Lagoon! I especially love the way/Boat ride to Twin Lagoon! You’ll witness beautiful sights! (Cliffs + Gorgeous shade of water)

Boat parking lol, Actually this is the first lagoon!

Feet selfie! This place/stop requires lots of swimming! Lol

Picture to the famous twin lagoon staircase to heaven. Lol! This ladder over the rock was made for high tide! Fortunately for us, it was low tide when we visited so we can enter underneath! However, you can still try the ladder for another experience! Haha

And this is the another lagoon! It is hidden and the only way to go here is as we already know, the ladder over the rock or underneath the rock

Selfie is a must for me! 

Gigantic cliffs! I’m just so in love with the nature!

This is what I’m saying, guys!

Whoopss!

You now know why I said lots of swimming is required right?! Haha, this lagoon is so biiiiiiiiiiiiig!

and of course, I can’t miss out the beautiful background! Picture picture!

Such a clean and clear water!

On our way now to the next stop: Skeleton Wreck! Time to make good use of our full face snorkeling mask! Lol

Who would’ve thought there’s a shipwreck underneath!

The shipwreck view from above, this is a bit deep! We can only view from above with the fishes as you can see on the next picture! 

There are some divers too in the area! It’s amusing to see them dive while I can only stay above.. Sigh

I definitely enjoyed swimming with the fishes here! Haha! Make sure to have good snorkeling gears to fully enjoy the experience!

Hi sis! You okay? Hahahaha

On our next stop is another snorkeling experience! The Reef Garden!

It was super windy that time and the waves are crazy! But thankfully, our tour guide assisted us since we still wanted to see and snorkel in the area despite the waves. We held each other’s feet so tight as if we’re holding onto our dear lives.

It was definitely worth it!

What’s the best thing to do after water adventure? EAT!

Lunch time with our group!

Did you spot the Adobo? Lol

This is the smith beach where we had lunch! 

On the way to our next stop: Barracuda Lake!

They also call it Luluyuan Lake.

Not so much hike needed unlike in Kayangan Lake..

There are only few people when we arrived! So lucky!

“Ahhh, this place is so relaxing~.” What am I doing lol.

Another Lol 

We had such a good time here!

Underwater! This lake is so deep!

Rock formation! Such a sight!

And that ends our Tour B! 

Love my shot! Haha

Last moment picture taking!

This is the fastest tour we had! After a tour, we usually go prep for dinner time but we still have time so we enjoy a swim in our hotel!

Yas! Afterwards, we decided to have our dinner at Altrove!

Low quality pictures huhu! The place was dark but the ambiance is very nice! The price is a bit expensive for me but totally worth it! This is a must try restaurant! Their food is so delicious! We totally love it here!

Day 2 (Coron Tour A)

Las Islas De Corals

Officially our Day 2! Before tours, it’s very important to have your breakfast! So glad to have unli breakfast included in our package, haha! 

Good morning Coron Westown!

View outside the restaurant!

Lovely breakfast! Potato wedge is the bomb! Now looking back, I should've gotten more, huhu! They didn’t serve it again on the next days of our stay. 

Excited for Tour A! 

While waiting for others tourists. Hi lovely couple!

Perfect weather!

First stop - Green Lagoon! We were the first group to arrive here! So we were lucky to have it for ourselves. Yay!

With my sister!

Couple Spotted! 

Water here is cold! 

Gorgeous! Love it here, it’s like a big swimming pool surrounded by cliffs! There are corals too for snorkeling. Not much fishes. but still worth checking the underwater view haha!

Next stop is the CYC Beach + Las Islas De Corals! 

I truly enjoyed Las Islas De Corals, first stop with underwater sight, so I was really excited! But be careful as this place has a lot of sea urchins! Do not walk around without water shoes! We stayed for 30 minutes, it was very quick for me :’( 

Beneath are colorful fishes and corals!

CYC Beach!

Look at the color contrast!

Someday, with my loved one. :’)

On our way to the next stop~ The Sunset Beach + Quin Reef!

A must have!

Sunset beach! Many groups were already having their lunch when we arrived!

So nice! Lunch by the beach! 

So photogenic!

Our lunch for today! You’ll be seeing Adobo a lot in the next tours as well- Lol

Cliffs! 

Buko juice! Yummy!

White sand!

After lunch, you can snorkel here in the Quin Reef! Just in front of Sunset beach! 

Kayangan Lake from above, Look at that beautiful mess!

5th-wheel!

From Kayangan View Deck! Picture taking is a must!

So beautiful! No wonder it’s post-card worthy view!

Make sure to line up immediately when you arrive! As there are many tour groups too waiting for their turn.

Wear your life vest! This lake is super deep!

Look at how clear the water is!

And that’s our last stop for the day!

Every stop is memorable, but the highlight for me is the Kayangan lake!

Dinner time at Kawayanan Grill Station! We love it here! Reasonable price, good food + good service!

And finally back to our hotel!

Day 1 (Arrival + Coron Town Tour)

Town Plaza

Lualhati Park

St. Augustine Church

Mt Tapyas

Cashew Harvest

Maquinit Hotspring

---

Hello readers! Enjoy reading our Day 1 experience in Coron City! We had so much fun exploring the City! Coron is really not just about island/lake. There are so much more to it! Lets start!

On the way from Busuanga Airport to our hotel! The drive is a bit long but this is really enjoyable! Make sure not to take a nap as the view of mountains and fields is so nice! You can definitely feel the ‘province’ vibe!

Pork/Liempo, Tapa & Cordon Bleu!

We decided to have our breakfast at Lolo Nonoy’s Food Station! Food is great here - big serving and reasonable price! Pinoy classic faves (Si-Log, Bulalo, etc) are present in the menu! We love it here so we actually came back on our last day.

Arrived at Coron Westown Resort! Will talk about our hotel on another blog, feel free to read about it here. 

Yummy foods before our Town Tour! Luckily, our hotel has its own restaurant so it’s very convenient for us. Italian foods included in the menu! Yay! 

Lets start the town tour! 

Can you see the Sleeping Giant? 

Here in Lualhati Park! You’ll visit this place often before and after island tours! 

We just rented out a tricycle for this whole day city tour for 600php. We were 5 so it was 120php/each for us! This is so not bad especially the way to Maquinit hotspring is a bit far.

rough ride, hold tight! Instant 4x4 experience? lol!

Next stop is the San Agustin Church, its not that big but worth visiting!

And now we’re headed to Mt. Tapyas! Best time to visit is around 4pm to catch the sunset! You just need to walk from the church though, the road on the way is uphill so it’s a bit difficult for the trike!

Nature <3

Tourist van and vendors below! Our trike driver waited for us here! 

View from below, ready to climb up! 724 steps, here we go~

Just view from above..

There are resting areas on your way up. You can stop while you catch your breath and enjoy the view!

I took many pictures here! I feel like the view is different every steps. Lol

600 steps already! Its cool to know how many steps you’ve already climbed up! 

And yeah! Finally at the top! So loooove this view, totally worth the climb!

The famous Mt. Tapyas cross!

‘Game Face on’

Love this photograph! 

And here to more sunset pictures! So pretty, right?

After perspiring a lot from the Mt. Tapyas hike, we went to Maquinit Hotspring to relax! We stopped at Cashew Harvest on our way, the famous shop for Cashews as it was featured in documentary shows. There were many tourists there and also the price of cashews and pasalubongs is a bit expensive. just a tip! Better to buy at the city than here! I was not able to take picture as it was just a short visit.

And we finally arrived! I forgot how much the entrance fee is. About 150 or 200! 

The hotspring is so relaxing! 20 - 30 minutes for me is already enough. This is one of the few saltwater hotspring in the world! So interesting!

(Photo not mine!) Ctto

Afterwards, we ate at Carl’s BBQ for dinner as it was recommended to us by one of the tricycle driver we previously met!

We were totally disappointed by their service! They tend to prioritize foreigners than locals! Food wasn’t that great either. We definitely not recommend eating here! 

Anyway, that was it! We contacted our rented trike/kuya and he accompanied us all the way to our hotel.

Hello everyone! Looking for itinerary and tips for your Coron trip? Here, I am so excited to share our trip with you, I swear Coron is such a beautiful place. I‘m actually the 5th wheel in our group when we visited Lol, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this place. I thank them for taking my pictures though, haha!
