Overview
Coron is a captivating island municipality located in the northern part of Palawan, Philippines, renowned for its dramatic limestone karsts, emerald-green lakes, and crystal-clear waters that teem with diverse marine life. It is particularly famous as a world-class diving destination, attracting enthusiasts to its numerous World War II Japanese shipwrecks and vibrant coral gardens. Above water, Coron offers breathtaking lagoons, hidden beaches, and unique freshwater lakes nestled within towering geological formations, making it a truly idyllic and adventurous island escape.
Coron is a popular and increasingly frequent port of call for expedition and luxury cruises exploring the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Cruise ships typically anchor offshore in Coron Bay (often near Coron Town) and utilize tender boats to bring passengers ashore to the town's small pier. From Coron Town, passengers embark on traditional "bangka" boats for island-hopping tours to the region's main attractions. A visit to Coron offers cruise passengers an unparalleled opportunity to explore a pristine tropical paradise, engage in thrilling water activities, and immerse themselves in some of the most stunning natural beauty in the Philippines.
Embark on an essential island-hopping tour to visit the iconic lakes. Kayangan Lake, often called the "cleanest lake in the Philippines," offers stunning karst scenery and an iconic viewpoint. Barracuda Lake is a thermocline lake.
Tip: Wear sturdy shoes for the uneven ground at Island Hopping to Kayangan Lake & Barracuda Lake.
The area is famous for its World War II Japanese shipwrecks, sunk during a 1944 American air raid. Many are accessible for snorkeling in shallow areas, while deeper wrecks offer world-class scuba diving opportunities.
Tip: Book diving or snorkeling with a reputable local operator.
Discover the lovely Twin Lagoons, two stunning lagoons separated by a limestone wall. During low tide, you can swim or climb over the wall to move between them, while high tide requires swimming under.
Tip: The water temperature can vary between the two lagoons, creating interesting thermoclines.
Enjoy the pristine beauty of Malcapuya Island, known for its long stretch of powder-fine white sand beach and incredibly clear turquoise waters. It's an ideal spot for swimming, sunbathing, and simply relaxing.
Tip: This island is often part of full-day island-hopping tours, providing a perfect lunch stop or relaxation point.
For wide views, embark on a hike up Mount Tapyas View Deck. A concrete staircase leads to the summit, where a large cross overlooks the Town, the Bay, and the surrounding islands, offering sunset vistas.
Tip: Wear sturdy shoes and bring water for the climb to Mount Tapyas View Deck.
Relax and soothe your muscles in the therapeutic waters of Maquinit Hot Springs. These natural saltwater hot springs are nestled amidst mangrove trees and offer a unique warm bathing experience.
Tip: The springs are best visited in the late afternoon or evening.
