en gang er aldrig nok.
Heck, når det drejer sig om Coron, vil fire gange stadig ikke skære det. Denne lille ferierende by i Palawan en af de første destinationer vi satte fod ind som rejse bloggere, men selv efter tre mange flere besøg, kan vi stadig ikke få nok af det. Dens hagte hjørner sprænges med naturlig appel og kulturel betydning: fra Coron Islands søer og laguner, til nabostrande, til skibsvragsdykssteder og koralhaver til Saltwater Hot Springs, til postkort-værdige udsigter fra sine bjergtoppe. Heck, de har endda en afrikansk safari i nærheden.
Men når vi vender tilbage, finder vi altid noget nyt. Coron ændrer sig hurtigt, og det er både godt og dårligt. Alt det tog var tilbage til toppen af Mt. Tapyas, og vi observerede, hvor meget udvikling har sprawled på tværs af denne side af øen. Nye hoteller og restauranter flanker meget mere af sine asfalterede gader. Der åbnes mange flere udflugter til turister, hvis tal, jeg vedder, meget mere end fordoblet i betragtning af at vores sidste besøg. Priserne klatre ved en nærliggende sats.
Coron transformerer hurtigere, end vi opdaterer vores rejseguider, hvilket er en del af grunden til, at vi vender tilbage til Coron meget oftere end til andre destinationer. Anyway, her er vores seneste, en masse opdateret Coron Travel Guide. Sidst opdateret: september 2018.

Forståelse Coron og Busuanga
Coron er blot en af de fire kommuner, der udgør calamianerne, en stjernegruppe af øer, der spiser vandet i Nordkalawan. Busuanga Island er den største af gruppen og er politisk opdelt i to kommuner: Busuanga og Coron. Coron er regionens hovedturisme i regionen og har mange flere overnatningssteder og ture, og er det normale spring off peger på de omkringliggende destinationer, hvorfor mange af attraktionerne i Calamier typisk er forbundet med Coron, selv når de er teknisk en del af andre byer.
For eksempel er Calauit og Black Island faktisk i Busuanga, men mange mennesker tror, at de er i Coron. Byen Culion er også typisk identificeret Coron, når det faktisk er en separat kommune.
En anden forvirrende bit: Coron Town er ikke på Coron Island. Som nævnt indtager Coron Town halvdelen af Busuanga Island. Coron Island, vægt på øen, er en separat mindre ø ud for Coron Town kyst. Stadig hos os? Her er et kort for at hjælpe dig med at fordøje det bedre.
Kort over Busuanga, Coron og Culion
Hvordan man kommer til coron
For turister er hovedporten til Calamiansøerne Busuanga Lufthavn (USU), meget mere formelt kendt som Francisco B. Reyes lufthavn. Det er mindre end en time væk fra byen Coron.
Men Coron har også en mole, og i de sidste par år har nye bådruter åbnet for turister, der kommer fra Manila og andre dele af Palawan som Puerto Princesa og El Nido.
Manila til Coron.
Flying er den nemmeste og hurtigste måde at nå Coron fra Manila. Cebu Pacific Air, Philippine Airlines, og Skyjet alle driver Manila-Busuanga fly.
Vi har forsøgt flere datoer at sammenligne priser og fundet følgende:
Skyjet bruger de laveste årsrunde billetpriser.
Cebu Pacific gør mange flere rabatter for Coron. Så hvis du ikke har travlt med at rejse, kan du vente på et Cebu Stillehavsområdet, og du kan score rundrejse billetter til så lavt som P2400 (kun fly) eller P3100 (med bagage).
Philippine Airlines har også gode priser. Der er datoer, når ven har meget lavere priser.
Cebu Pacific Flight Scan. Den fremhævede række består af rabatpriser. Year round billetpris er omkring P3.400.

El Nido til Coron
Montenegro FastCraft lanceret 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 Lufthavn 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 skal man 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. Haha. 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…
Vigtig! 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 båd
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.

Group tour: P1500-P1800 per pax (All in)

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.

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
