Located in the northern part of Palawan, Coron is a visually stunning archipelago defined by limestone cliffs that jut out from the clear turquoise waters and the secret lagoons that lay hidden, waiting for the adventurous traveler. The tropical climate with a definitive dry season from November to May and a rainier season from June to October ensues that this wondrous island is a year-round hotspot for those who love to explore the underwater world or go island hopping.

Experience an intriguing blend of local culture with the indigenous Tagbanua customs and the chill island lifestyle of the Filipinos. The Tagbanua community, which considers several of the lakes and lagoons sacred, continues to have ancestral rights over these areas, ensuring your visit is charged with cultural significance. The welcoming locals and their laid-back attitude will in short order make you feel right at home.

What makes Coron truly spectacular are the well-conserved Japanese shipwreck dive sites, relics of World War II, making it a diver's haven. The Twin Lagoons, another unique feature, is a manifestation of the point where saltwater and freshwater meet, creating an almost magical thermal layer effect. Kayangan Lake, often referred to as Asia's cleanest lake, offers what could arguably be the most Instagram-worthy panorama in Palawan.

Foodies will be swept away by the assortment of fresh seafood, especially the local mud crabs and lobsters. For those with an adventurous palate, try the tamilok (woodworm), a local delicacy, and fresh uni (sea urchin) served directly from sea to plate. The quintessential Coron experience comes from watching the sun set from Mount Tapyas and then capping it off with a soothing dip in the Maquinit Hot Springs.
