Coron Palawan Travel Guide For The Philippines
Coron Palawan is one of the most amazing islands in the Philippines, with huge limestone peaks, multicolored lagoons, and great snorkeling or scuba diving.
Like other islands in the Philippines, Coron Island is a very budget friendly destination where you can see beautiful white sand beaches and some of the best coral reefs in Southeast Asia.
Even though Coron isn’t quite as famous as its nearby cousin El Nido, it’s more affordable and less crowded, and you could argue that the island hopping scenery is just as good.
How To Get To Coron Palawan
Coron town can be reached by flight or ferry.
There’s an airport in Coron called the Busuanga airport (USU), but it’s not served internationally, so you’ll first need to fly to one of the big cities in the Philippines — Manila or Cebu — and go from there. You can shop for flights to the Philippines at Skyscanner.
If you plan to visit both El Nido and Coron, the easiest way to get there is to take the ferry between the two places, which only costs 1,800 Peso and takes a few hours.
You can also join a 4-day Palawan sailing expedition from El Nido to Coron and see some of the amazing secluded islands along the way (I’ll explain more on that later).
