Another long vacation and a trip was already planned months before. Where to??? Coron, Palawan. Thanks to
Cebu Pacific Air for their promos, we only got our round trip ticket from Cebu for only P976.00.
Cebu to Busuanga trip takes almost 2 hours so better load your phones
with music or your laptops with movies so you won’t get bored during
the travel. Ask the airline ticket issuance counter staff to place you
at the window side so you’ll have a better view around the place.

Book early for your accommodation. Coron is busy between months of
October to May according to our tour guide. I suggest you book at
Coron Eco Lodge. The place is good, with cable and wifi, staffs are friendly and accommodating.

Bring cash and not credit card for you won’t be able to use that
stuff around Coron. Many offers package tours, search over the internet
what spots you want to visit so you can choose between the tour packages
offered. Or better rent a boat costs Php 1500 so you can visit the all
spots. Prepare entrance fee ( Kayangan Lake’s entrance fee is Php300).
Note that in the package only 6 spots are included.
Prepare yourself for the 700+ steps going to Mt. Tapyas. But it paid
once up in the mountain. You’ll have a spectacular view of the islands.
Nice to be up there during sunrise or sunset.
Buy pasalubong for friends. You’ll find 2 or 3 shops for the stuffs. Or
cashew nuts for Palawan is known for that. Ask the driver to drop you at
Coron Harvest where you can buy cashew nuts for as low as Php 50 to Php
375.
Day 2- The most awaited part where we can see the spots we’ve been
wanting to see ever since we’ve surf the internet about Coron. At 8;00
am we were fetched at our hotel for the 8;30 start of our tour. Together
with 2 Japanese couple whose been in the Philippines for 14 years, we
sailed to our first destination. First stop is the KAYANGAN Lake. Going
there, you’ll have a great view of area.
You thought that you’ll only be climbing Mt. Tapyas? Think again! You’ll
have hundred steps up before seeing the scenic beauty of Kayangan lake.

Your effort will be worthy once arrived at the lake. View is so breath taking you’ll think you’re in some paradise.

Bring snorkel gadgets if you have so you’ll have a better view under
water. Rocks formations were like kingdom from under water Disney
cartoon movies. You can rent snorkel stuffs if you don’t have for Php
100 only. They also have underwater cam for rent for about Php 1000 so
if you have extra money…grab one (‘,’).

We headed for a stop at Atwayan beach for lunch. When you get a package tour, lunch and snacks are provided.
Unfortunately, one of our companion is allergic to crab and was not able
to bring some anti-allergy.
