Coron

We stayed at Coron Reef Pension House, which costs PhP 1,500 per night good for 10 people. They also have rooms good for 4, which costs only PhP 1000. Don't expect a hotel room with this price but it has decent bed, ac, a good sized bathroom, and running water.

You can contact Ms. Chinette (0919-887-7151) for reservations. You can also contact them for boat rentals for easier transactions. Aside from Ms. Chinette, you can also contact Kuya Bong (0908-290-4744) if you want to get more rates on tours around the island.

If you do not have any goggles to use, most boatmen do have snorkel gears for rent or you can also go around the municipality and rent one from diving centers there. The average rate is around PhP 150.00 but of course you can always ask for a discount :)

Coron, Palawan

Just got back from a 6 day 5 night vacation to Coron, Palawan... although the weather is not that great, the places we visited made the trip worthwhile.

A friend budgeted the whole trip which costs roughly around PhP 7,000 per person (for 7 people) for the accommodation, van transfer to and from the resort, island hopping, food, and airfare. We were able to visit 12 snorkling and diving sites, and a tour of Coron town proper.

We visited Siete Pecados, Kayangan Lake, Barracuda Lake, Banol Beach, Skeleton Ship Wreck, Banana Island, Malcapuya Island, Twin Lagoon, Gun boat wreck, Japanese ship wreck, Coral garden, and Sangat Island.

More on the places we visited and people we contacted on my next post.
