If you are looking for a tropical paradise with stunning natural beauty and rich history, Coron Island in Palawan, Philippines, is the place to go. Coron Island is famous for its spectacular wreck diving sites, where you can explore sunken Japanese ships from World War II. You can also marvel at the limestone cliffs, turquoise lakes, and coral gardens that dot the island. Coron Island is part of the Calamian Group of Islands, which offer more attractions such as white-sand beaches, hot springs, and wildlife sanctuaries. Coron Island is a dream destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.
You can join several island-hopping tours which bring you up close to several famous lakes. Kayangan Lake is a relaxed swimming experience popularly known as The Blue Lagoon, this stunning lake is set amongst majestic limestone cliffs, or Barracuda Lake is a scenic lake surrounded by limestone cliffs located at the north end of Coron Island, be sure to pack an underwater camera, as you get to snorkel atop the Skeleton Wreck, a sunken fishing boat, and enjoy swimming with the colourful marine life.
For those who prefer land-based attractions to the underwater world, one of the unique things to do in Coron is to attend the Calauit Game Refuge and Wildlife Sanctuary. Get a taste of the island’s wild side with a trip to the savannah of Coron where African giraffes, gazelles, zebras, brown deer and more roam freely. The game reserve is located on a small island at the tip of Busuanga Island, roughly 70 km away from the Coron Town. Be sure to leave town early to enjoy a relaxing morning safari tour around the park before it gets too hot, then spend the morning learning about the exotic, endemic and endangered animal species of the province, you can even assist the park rangers in the morning feeding of some animals like the giraffe at one of the stables.
Coron Island is a popular destination for Honeymooners in it’s own right, however why not combine with more of Asia with a trip to China or Japan or combine along with another of Asia’s diverse Islands like Mauritius or Sri Lanka to make a once in a lifetime trip that you both will remember forever.
