Highlights

Coron is a haven for diving and snorkeling. This tour will take you to some of the best diving spots on the waters around the island. You'll get to stop by a World War II-era Japanese supply ship that was sunk during one of the battles around the island. It rests on a shallow part of the sea, so you can easily visit it using a snorkel and mask. Barracuda Lake is also a prominent spot in Coron. It is a very unusual site and is famous for its Thermocline. Aside from these two spots, other stops include Smith Beach, Twin Lagoon, and Reef Garden. The boat crew will prepare lunch, and you'll enjoy it at one of the stops along the way. This tour is not intended for cruise ship guests. If you are arriving in one, please consider booking a private tour to accommodate your ship's unique arrival and departure schedules. For more details, please contact us directly.

About Busuanga

Busuanga is the largest of the Calamian Islands in northern Palawan, a hilly island of grassland and mangroves, with Coron town on its southern coast.

Busuanga lies at the northern end of Palawan, the westernmost province of the Philippines, and is the largest island in the Calamian group. Rolling grassland and low hills cover much of its interior, which gives it a more open look than most Philippine islands, and its coast is cut by bays, mangroves and limestone cliffs. Coron, the main town, lies on the south coast, facing Coron Island across a narrow strait, and the airport is near Busuanga town.
