Coron

Planning your time in Coron

Coron town sits on Busuanga, a separate island north of mainland Palawan, so there is no road in. You fly to Busuanga airport, then ride 30–45 minutes into town, or take the morning ferry from El Nido across the Linapacan Strait — ferry vs flight, compared. Allow at least two full days after the day you arrive.

What to do

Coron's draw is its freshwater lakes, twin lagoons and the Second World War wreck fleet in its bays. Coron tours compared decodes the island-hopping packages, diving the WWII wrecks covers the fleet for divers and snorkelers, and if you only have time for one of the two, read Coron vs El Nido first.
