en gang er aldri nok.
Heck, når det gjelder Coron, vil fire ganger fortsatt ikke kutte den. Denne lille ferierende byen i Palawan en av de første destinasjonene vi satte foten i som reisebloggere, men selv etter tre mange flere besøk, kan vi fortsatt ikke få nok av det. Dens hakkede hjørner brister med naturlig appell og kulturell betydning: fra innsjøene og lagunene i Coron Island, til nærliggende strender, til Shipwreck Dive Sites og Coral Gardens, til Saltwater Hot Springs, til postkort-verdig utsikt fra sine fjellverk. Heck, de har til og med en afrikansk safari i nærheten.
Likevel, når vi kommer tilbake, finner vi alltid noe nytt. Coron endres raskt, og det er både bra og dårlig. Alt det tok var å gå tilbake til toppen av Mt. Tapyas, og vi observerte hvor mye utvikling som har sprawled over denne siden av øya. Nye hoteller og restauranter flanker mye mer av sine asfalterte gater. Mange flere utflukter åpnes for turister, hvis tall, jeg satser, mye mer enn doblet med tanke på at vårt siste besøk. Prisene klatrer på en nærliggende pris.
Coron forvandler seg raskere enn vi oppdaterer våre reiseguider, som er en del av grunnen til at vi kommer tilbake til Coron mye mer oftere enn til andre destinasjoner. Uansett, her er vår siste, mye oppdatert Coron Travel Guide. Sist oppdatert: september 2018.

Forstå Coron og Busuanga
Coron er bare en av de fire kommunene som utgjør The Calamianes, en fantastisk gruppe øyer som flekker vannet i North Palawan. Busuanga Island er den største av gruppen og er politisk delt inn i to kommuner: Busuanga og Coron. Coron er hovedturismen navet i regionen og har mye mer innkvartering og turer, og er det normale hoppe av punktet til de omkringliggende destinasjonene, og derfor er mange av attraksjonene i Calamianes vanligvis forbundet med Coron, selv når de er teknisk en del av andre byer.
For eksempel er Calauit og Black Island faktisk i Busuanga, men mange tror de er i Coron. Byen Culion er også typisk identifisert Coron, når det faktisk er en egen kommune.
En annen forvirrende bit: Coron Town er ikke på Coron Island. Som nevnt okkuper Coron Town halvparten av Busuanga-øya. Coron Island, vekt på øya, er en separat mindre øy utenfor kysten av Coron Town. Fortsatt med oss? Her er et kart for å hjelpe deg med å fordøye det bedre.

Hvordan komme til Coron
For turister er hovedgatewayen til Calamianes-øyene Busuanga flyplass (USU), mye mer formelt kjent som Francisco B. Reyes flyplass. Det er mindre enn en time unna byen Coron.
Men Coron har også en brygge, og i løpet av de siste årene har nye båtruter åpnet for turister som kommer fra Manila og andre deler av Palawan som Puerto Princesa og El Nido.
Manila til Coron.
Flying er den enkleste og raskeste måten å nå Coron fra Manila. Cebu Pacific Air, Filippinske flyselskaper og Skyjet alle driver Manila-Busuanga-flyreiser.
Vi har prøvd flere datoer for å sammenligne priser, og funnet følgende:
Skyjet bruker de laveste årene året rundt.
Cebu Pacific gjør mye mer rabatter for Coron. Så hvis du ikke har det travelt å reise, kan du vente på et Cebu Pacific-salg, og du kan score rundturbilletter for så lavt som P2400 (kun fly) eller P3100 (med bagasje).
Filippinske flyselskaper har gode priser også. Det er datoer når vennen har mye lavere priser.

El Nido til Coron
Montenegro Fastcraft lansert i september 2016 a new Coron-El Nido (and vice versa) route, which cuts the travel time to only 4 hours. schedule and rates below.
Busuanga flyplass til Coron Town
As soon as you emerge from the airport’s Arrival area, you’ll be greeted by people asking you what hotel you will be staying. Don’t worry, these are barkers trying to find passengers. I was hesitant to opt for them because they were a bit too proactive, to say the least, but they are legit if they are in uniform. They are asking for your hotel so they would know which van/shuttle you must board.
Travel time: 30-40 minutes
Fare is P150 per person
You can also hire the entire van for P1500.
The journey is picturesque because you’ll be driving across a ranch. If you’re lucky, you’ll see herds of cows crossing the road.
Where to stay in Coron
There are so lots of lodging options in Coron but you might still want to strongly consider booking in development specially during summer (March-May).
On our last visit, we were hosted by Coron Soleil, which is a newly built complex that harbors the Coron Soleil garden Resort, a 4-star resort. but here’s the catch: located in the same complex is the a lot more pocket-friendly Coron Soleil EXPRESS, a 3-star budget hotel. The thing is, guests staying at Soleil express have access to the amenities of the complex, which indicates you’ll be able to take pleasure in 4-star resort amenities at the price of a budget hotel!
Here’s Coron Soleil’s psychedelic swimming pool, the centerpiece of the resort.

Hvor å spise i Coron
Food is expensive in Coron. According to our boatmen, it’s because lots of of the ingredients are being imported from Mindoro. but it doesn’t describe why seafood dishes are also expensive.
The price of restaurant meals range from P150 to P400. That P150 is typically composed of just a cup of rice and a small serving of a Pinoy viand like tapa, adobo, or liempo. Pasta dishes are normally at P250, grilled seafood (squid or fish) at around P200, and fruit shake at P100-P120.
If you’re not picky, you’ll find more affordable meals at carinderias all around town, but they’re getting harder and harder to find these days. but you’ll find those serving tapsilog for P100 or less. There are small kerbside barbeque stands which costs P10-P25 per stick.
On our last visit, we chose to eat at various restaurants in town, but we found that lots of of them are overpriced, and they kinda taste the same. Ha ha. With the following exceptions:
La Morena Cafe. We bought this seafood pasta and a big glass of melon shake. Both are unforgettable.
Carl’s BBQ. buy the baby Back Ribs. half slab is P350; full slab, P520. substantial servings. and tastes great!
Kawayanan Grill Station. seafood Platter (P450). good for 2-3 people. Fresh and grilled perfectly.
KT’s Sinugba sa Balai. There’s nothing really special about the taste, but the serving here is big and prices affordable, reasonable.
La Sirenetta. Kinilaw na Tuna.
Aside from La Morena, there are two other coffee places along the main road: Coffee Kong and Fika Indulgence. All three serve satisfying drinks and desserts.
Locals also kept on recommending Santino’s Grill and Amigos’ Smokes and Grill. We weren’t able to try ’em. We tried, but both were closed when we checked out because…
Viktig! a lot of restaurants and cafes in Coron are open only during lunch time (11am-2pm) and at night (6pm onwards). If you decide to have late lunch at around 3pm, your options will be substantially narrower.
How to get around Coron
There are so lots of interesting and special destinations in Coron and in nearby towns of Busuanga and Culion. If traveling just within Coron town proper, you can simply take a tricycle. Fare is P10 per person.
But when checking out island destinations, you have two options: join a group excursion or charter a private boat.
If you join a group Tour
You’ll be paying per person and will be sharing the trip with other tourists. You’ll find these excursions used by various operators throughout the town. This is terrific for those traveling alone or with a small group.
Pros: You don’t need to worry about anything else. You just pay one time, show up, and the agency will do everything for you. You also get to meet other travelers.
Cons: You have nearly no control of the travel plan and how much time you will be spending at each stop.
Hvis du charter en privat båt
You will need to book with Calamian vacationer boat Association. Their office is at the near end of the Lualhati Park. They have standardized the rates of boat trips depending on the size of the boat needed, the number of passengers, and your destination.
Is it cheaper? only if you’re a big group. rates depend on the boat size. For example, for Coron Island Tour, a boat that can accommodate 2-4 passengers costs P2700, 5-8 pax for P3250, or 9-15 pax for P3800. Obviously, you’ll be maximizing this if you’re a group of 10 or bigger.
Pros: Although there is a suggested itinerary, you have total control of your time and schedule. If you want to stay longer somewhere, you can. If you want to skip a stop, you can too. and as I said, if you’re a big group, it will turn out much more affordable than joining a group tour.
Cons: The published rates cover only the boat fee. NOT included are the excursion guide fee (P500) and entrance fees. Food is NOT included either, so you will need to bring your own provisions. Fortunately, the public market is near the port and the boatmen can prepare and cook your meals at no extra cost, so you can simply shop for ingredients before your trip.
Coron Tours
The following are some of the most popular excursions in Coron with the normal destinations covered. Inclusions vary so please confirm with the excursion or boat operator first before you seal the deal. I also indicated the normal rates as of March 2017, but bear in mind that these rates vary from operator to operator.
We also supplied links to corresponding Klook tours. However, we have to say that we actually find the excursions on Klook a bit pricier than usual. I would still just find another excursion when I’m there. but if you’re a long-time Klook user and you’re a lot more comfortable booking with them, go ahead.
For you want to pull a diy or charter a private boat, you’ll find the entrance fee rates in the photo caption. However, like I said, if you’re joining a group tour, you don’t need to worry about the entrance fees because they’re included in the group excursion package.
Coron Island Tour
Group tour: P1500-P1800 per pax (All in)
Private boat: P2700 for 2-4 pax, P3250 for 8 pax, P3800 for 9-15 pax

This is the classic Coron Island Tour. The normal group excursion rate is somewhere between P1500 and P1800. However, you’ll find excursions for only P1300 or even as low as P750. Why the big difference? check the itinerary. the most famous attractions in Coron are Kayangan Lake and twin Lagoon. lots of of the uses we found don’t cover both. Some just include Kayangan Lake and a few other stops, or twin Lagoon and a few other stops. If you want to make the most of your stay, book a excursion that has both in the itinerary.

Alternatively, you might want to do this by yourself because all these are easily accessible by tricycle and even walking (except Maquinit)
Mt. Tapyas does not require an entrance fee. It’s best took pleasure in at sunrise!
Maquinit Hotsprings can be reached by tricycle. Fare is P350 roundtrip. entrance fee: P200 per person. best took pleasure in after climbing Mt. Tapyas.

Calauit Safari Park Tour
Group tour: P2500-P3000 per pax

If you’re joining a group Tour, you have two options: by land or by sea.
If by sea, you will be stopping at the following:
Other stops: North Cay, South Cay
I personally like touring by sea because I am in love with Black Island, which is typically not included in land tours.
If by land, your stops will be 2 – 4 in the following, depending on the agency. Make sure to check the travel plan first before booking with any travel agency:
Calauit Safari Park
Concepcion Falls
Malbat
