CORON ADVENTURE

#IslandHopping
Coron, one of the top tourist destinations in the Philippines, is best known for world-class World War II-era wreck diving, but the island also offers limestone karst landscapes, beautiful Palawan beaches, crystal-clear freshwater lakes, and shallow-water coral reefs. That's why I didn't want to miss the chance to visit this beautiful island.
So, we had our 3Days2Nights tour in Coron last January, 2023 and the weather that time was nice.
It was an unforgettable experience with some other tourists from France, Canada, Italy and the USA on the boat with us.

Palawan, Philippines - A Tropical Paradise
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the breathtaking island of Palawan in the Philippines, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From its crystal-clear turquoise waters to its lush green jungles, Palawan truly is a tropical paradise.
El Nido, another gem of Palawan, stole my heart with its postcard-perfect beaches and limestone cliffs. I spent my days hopping between small islands and lagoons, snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs, and basking in the sun on powdery white sands. The views were simply breathtaking, and it felt like a dream come true.
Palawan also offers a wide range of activities for adventure seekers. I had the opportunity to go zip-lining through the lush forest canopy of Ugong Rock, which was an exhilarating and adrenaline-pumping experience. Trekking through the Tabon Caves, known for their archaeological significance, allowed me to connect with the rich history of the island.
The hospitality of the locals in Palawan is truly heartwarming. Everywhere I went, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine kindness. The people of Palawan take great pride in their culture and are always ready to share their traditions and stories.
As for the food, Palawan delights the taste buds with its fresh seafood delicacies, such as grilled squid and succulent prawns. The local markets are a treasure trove of exotic fruits, and I highly recommend trying the famous "balut," a Filipino delicacy of a developing bird embryo.
In terms of accommodation, Palawan offers a wide range of options to suit every budget. From luxurious beachfront resorts to cozy guesthouses, there is something for everyone. I opted for a beachfront cottage, allowing me to wake up to the sound of the waves and enjoy the stunning sunsets right from my doorstep.
In conclusion, Palawan is a tropical paradise that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, and warm hospitality. Whether you are a nature lover, an adventure enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Palawan has it all. I can confidently say that Palawan has left an indelible mark on my heart, and I cannot wait to return to this island again.

Jaw-dropped in El Nido
I went to El Nido for a few days and did Tour A, Tour C and Tour D. I was so fascinated when I reached at some of the places like Small Lagoon even knowing that it would be beautiful from the pictures beforehand. The limestone rock formations, the white-sand beaches, the pristine water… El Nido just has it all. The town is quite touristy and also worth a visit. Want to go back already

Ausan Beach Front Cottages, Port Barton
Address: Ballesteros St., Port Barton, Palawan, San Vicente, 5309, Mimaropa, Philippines
It takes around three hours by van to get to Port Barton from Puerto Princesa airport. When tourists arrive to Puerto Princesa, most of them go to El Nido. But I highly advice you to spend at least few days at Port Barton. If you are looking for some nice and calm place (and much cheaper than in El Nido!) you should definitely come here. They don't have much choice of the hotels in Port Barton, so Ausan Beach Front Cottages is a good place to stay there. Hotel restaurant is right in front of the beach, food is delicious and really cheap. We had a room with a sea view and that was great! We could hear the sound of the waves at night. Highly recommend!

Kayangan Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
BEAUTIFUL CORON! 🤍
Kayangan Lake is a crystal-clear freshwater lake in Coron, featuring underwater rock formations, caves and islets. It’s a popular spot for photographers, for fairly obvious reasons, and is said to be the cleanest lake in all of the Philippines. The water is so clear that you can often see down to a depth of 10 metres, enabling even non-swimmers to see the untouched rock formations from viewpoints around the lake.
Kayangan Lake in Palawan - one of the highlights of our Island Hopping Tour in Coron, Palawan. You shouldn’t missed this!
