Coron's main airport is Francisco B. Reyes Airport (USU). The airport offers basic facilities, including restrooms, a small cafe, and baggage claim. While not extensive, it's sufficient for a smooth arrival and departure.
From USU airport, you can take a tricycle or van to reach Coron town proper. Tricycles are readily available and offer a more affordable option. Vans provide a slightly more comfortable ride, especially if you have a lot of luggage. Negotiate the fare beforehand.
The best time to visit Coron is during the dry season, from November to May. The weather is generally sunny and ideal for exploring the islands. However, this is also peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds. Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (April-May or October-November) for a balance of pleasant weather and fewer tourists.
Coron town proper offers a range of accommodation options, from budget-friendly guesthouses to luxurious resorts. For a quieter experience, consider staying in the nearby villages. The choice depends on your budget and preferred atmosphere.
Ensure you have a valid passport and any necessary travel documents. Confirm your flight details and accommodation bookings. Pack light clothing, swimwear, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat. It's also wise to bring some Philippine Pesos for smaller expenses.
Coron offers a plethora of activities, including island hopping tours, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and exploring the Japanese shipwrecks. Don't miss the stunning Kayangan Lake and Barracuda Lake. The local cuisine is also a must-try.
While flying is the most convenient option, you could consider a ferry journey, but this would be significantly longer and less practical.
Book flights and accommodation in advance to secure better deals. Consider traveling during the off-season for lower prices. Eat at local restaurants instead of tourist traps to save money on food. Utilize public transportation whenever possible.
For Filipino citizens, no visa is required. For other nationalities, visa requirements vary. Check the Philippine embassy or consulate in your country for the most up-to-date information.
Try the fresh seafood, especially the grilled fish. Local dishes like Sinigang and Adobo are also worth exploring. Many restaurants offer a variety of international cuisines as well.
Coron offers a variety of souvenirs, including handcrafted items, pearls, and local artwork. Bargaining is common in many markets, so don't hesitate to negotiate prices.
