Experience the Magic of Coron's Limestone Karsts

Coron Island Hopping is widely considered one of the most spectacular marine experiences in the world. Located in Northern Palawan, this destination is famous for its towering limestone karst formations that rise dramatically from turquoise waters, protecting hidden lagoons and pristine freshwater lakes. Unlike traditional beach tours, a Coron adventure takes you into a surreal landscape where you can swim in the cleanest lakes in Asia, snorkel over preserved WWII Japanese shipwrecks in shallow waters, and navigate through narrow crevices to discover secret swimming holes. Whether you choose a shared boat for a social atmosphere or a private speedboat for exclusive access, exploring these islands reveals an underwater world of vibrant coral gardens and unique thermoclines that you won't find anywhere else.

Historical Context

On September 24, 1944, a fleet of Japanese supply ships hiding in Coron Bay was sunk by a US Navy air raid. Today, these wrecks are world-renowned diving and snorkeling sites.

Photography Tips

  • Bring a GoPro or waterproof camera for underwater shots
  • Use a polarizing filter to cut glare on the water
  • Golden hour is best for landscape shots, but midday sun brings out the water's turquoise color

Insider Tips

  • Bring your own snorkeling mask if you are particular about fit
  • Rent a kayak at Twin Lagoon to explore the inner chambers fully
  • Go to the Kayangan Lake view deck first thing to beat the queue

Our Partners

  • Tours operated by trusted local partners verified by Viator.

Fun Facts

Highlight of our Philippines trip

We booked the Ultimate Tour and it was incredible. Kayangan Lake is even more beautiful in person. Our guide was funny and attentive, and the lunch on the beach was a feast of fresh crab and fish. Highly recommend booking online to secure your spot.

Skeleton Wreck was amazing

I am a history buff so snorkeling over the WWII ship was a dream. The water is so clear you can see everything from the surface. The boat crew was very professional and prioritized safety. Excellent value for money.

Beautiful but busy

The scenery is unmatched. Twin Lagoon is magical. It does get crowded at the main stops, so I suggest booking a private tour if you can afford it to start earlier. Still, a must-do experience.

Great day out

We did the private speedboat option and it was worth every cent. We beat the crowds to Barracuda Lake and had it to ourselves for 20 minutes. The guides took amazing photos of us too.

Perfect organization

Booking was easy and the pickup was on time. The food was delicious (lots of vegetarian options for me). Don't forget your aqua shoes, the rocks can be sharp!

Stunning water

The color of the water in Coron is unbelievable. The tour covered all the main spots. The boat ride was smooth. Just wish we had more time at the coral garden.
