MT. TAPYAS

At 210 meters, Mt. Tapyas is the second tallest mountain and one of the most dominant land features around the town of Coron in Busuanga Island, Palawan. Towering over the poblacion, its trail is easily accessible on foot. San Agustin Street which turns into the slightly sloping Malvar Street leads the way to an elevated basketball court at the base.

MAQUINIT HOT SPRING

Many of Coron’s visitors and locals who want to relax to the fullest always include Maquinit Hot Spring in their itinerary. Located in the hillside part of Coron, just about 25 minutes from the town proper, this stop is one of the biggest must-see attractions here. Prepare to be enchanted as you dip in its pool of salt water that comes from the bottom of the nearby mountain. The water here, with a temperature ranging from 38 to 40 degrees Celsius, is believed to be coming from an underground volcano.

KAYANGAN LAKE

Kayangan Lake is one of the seven lakes located within Coron Island, acclaimed as the cleanest lake in the Philippines. The enchanting freshwater lagoon lies amid towering limestone cliffs and can be seen after a walk up a mountain trail. There's a view deck where you can get a postcard worthy or IG worthy photograph.

BARRACUDA LAKE

Barracuda Lake is a very unusual dive site famous for its thermocline. The first 4m layer of water is actually fresh water around 28°C. Going down, you then meet salt water. There is a huge thermocline and heliocline at 14m deep and the water temperature is rising to 38°C. The lake is about 40m deep and surrounded by sharp limestone cliffs.

TWIN LAGOON

The Twin Lagoon is nestled in the largest limestone formation also known as the Calis Mountain. The two lagoons are divided by a limestone wall, connected by a small and narrow opening. The inner lagoon is visible and can easily be accessed during low tide. However, one must have a diving skill to get to the inner lagoon during high tide. Otherwise, it can also be accessed via the wooden stairs recently built by the Tagbanua, the indigenous people of Coron.

PASS ISLAND

Pass Island, Palawan (island within Palawan and is northwest of Dicalatan Island, south of East Malcatop Island and southeast of Rat Island). A nice laid back kind of place that doesn’t have the jaded feel of busier commercial islands. So private that it will later be known for its seclusion and privacy. Imagine a place where you can relax and just admire the beauty of your surroundings.
Pass Island, located at around 30 kilometers off the port of Coron, Palawan, will surely leave you in awe as you walk along its dreamy beach landscape.

CALAUIT WILDLIFE SAFARI

Have a most unforgettable glimpse of Africa during your vacation in Coron by visiting Calauit. Measuring 3,700 hectares, this island serves as shelter for African and Palawan wildlife that are at the risk of extinction. Thriving together here are African animals like giraffes, zebras, impalas, gazelles, and waterbucks, along with local bearcats, crocodiles, mousedeers, and wild pigs. Calauit was decreed a game preserve and wildlife sanctuary in August 1976 by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos.
