Kayangan Lake
Kayangan Lake is definitely one of the most visited sites in Coron. Gorgeous emerald waters surrounded by towering karst formations – it’s certainly a treat to effortlessly float around in its crystal-clear brackish waters. The crystal-clear waters of Lake Kayangan are nestled into the mountain walls; underwater is like a moonscape. There’s a little wooden walkway and platform to stash your things if you go for a swim.

Malcapuya island

All your stresses and cares will melt away as you sit back and take in this island paradise. Are you the type of person who loves the beach?

Twin Lagoon
So well hidden and secluded it would be easy to sail past them without any hint of their existence. The Twin Lagoons are one of the main natural attractions people hope to see when they visit Coron. And when you are there, believe me, the Twin Lagoon lives up to all the hype and then some.

Banol Beach Coron
A beautiful fine white sand beach which is usually the lunch stop during many of the island hopping tours that are run. An amazing island paradise with lush green shrubs and bushes. The island is not that large, barely 50 meters long, but the azure sky reflecting off the turquoise waters make this a must-see location.
Bulog Dos Island
Bulog Dos Island Coron is one of our destinations on a recent island hopping tour we took in Palawan, Philippines. Don’t be fooled by its small beach, this island hides an endless world of wonders under its waters. Get your snorkeling gear out and dive in to explore the coral reefs that surround Bulog Dos. You’ll discover a multitude of colorful fish, maybe even some stingrays!

Busuanga Island
West of Coron Island is Busuanga Island, home to an underwater attraction, divers can’t get enough of. In 1944, an aerial attack sank dozens of Japanese WW2 ships just off Busuanga Island. The final resting place of these wrecks makes a perfect dive location. Plenty of dive shops in the area offer dives here allowing you to experience an adrenaline-pumping dive that is well worth the boat ride to the site.

Banana Island
During our last trip to Coron, we were able to visit Banana Island as part of an island hopping tour. Banana Island is part of a group of three islands south of Busuanga that made up our island-hopping tour from the town of Coron. It has more facilities for an overnight stay. It also has huts and tables where we had our lunch for the day.

CYC Beach
To be honest, we were disappointed with CYC Beach Coron. After all the good reviews we had read. Read our full CYC Beach Coron Palawan review and know what to expect before going. The beach sand of CYC Beach Coron is off-white – not as white as other beaches in Coron, but still soft and appealing.

Maquinit Hot Springs
Take the plunge into 39 – 40 deg C waters at Maquinit hot springs. We visited the hot springs at night when the temperatures had dropped making the springs, even more, inviting after a long day of island hopping. Not only that but the sun setting over the water at the Hot Springs is pretty spectacular. It just can’t be beaten. More amazing things to do in Coron.
Kingfisher Park
Kingfisher Park is a mangrove come bird haven that has plenty to offer. There are animal species here that are specifically endemic to Palawan; in other words, you can only see them here! There are a few activities you can take part in including The Mount Lunes Santo Trek and the Starry-starry night Tour. But the most popular activity at Kingfisher Park is to kayak around the mangroves to get a closer look at the wildlife both in the mangroves and under your boat.
