Island paradise

Why Coron

  • World-class wreck diving — WWII Japanese ships accessible even to Open Water divers
  • Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoon — two of the most photographed natural pools in the Philippines
  • Island-hopping tours comparable to El Nido at similar or lower prices

Coron is the wreck-diving capital of Southeast Asia, with a dozen Japanese WWII shipwrecks sitting in warm, shallow waters. Beyond the wrecks, Coron offers stunning limestone lagoons, volcanic lakes, and island-hopping tours that rival El-Nido. The town is small and laid-back, with a growing backpacker scene centered on rooftop bars and dive shops.
