Glide over Coron’s sheltered shallows to meet dugongs and green sea turtles in their seagrass meadows, then snorkel a protected reef after a light lunch. This small-group, guided tour emphasizes ethical viewing, strict no-touch rules, and education from trained spotters.

The boat slips off Coron’s wooden pier and the sea opens into pockets of glassy blue; spotters scan the shallows, eyes trained where seagrass beds fringe limestone karst. Quiet conversations fall away as something gentle rises and resurfaces — a dugong’s rounded back or the slow paddling of a green turtle — the water a calm stage for a rare, respectful encounter.

History
Busuanga’s islands are formed from uplifted reef and limestone; the local maritime culture shifted toward conservation as tourism and sanctuary programs developed.
Conservation
The tour follows no-touch/no-chase rules and supports sanctuary fees; minimizing noise, limiting snorkel rotations, and using reef-safe products reduce impact.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Coron’s marine habitats are sensitive—use biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen and reapply before and after snorkeling.
Prepare for sea conditions
Early departures usually mean calmer water; if you’re prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand and sit where you can watch the horizon.
Follow spotter instructions
Keep distance, move slowly, and stay silent during wildlife encounters—guides rotate snorkelers to minimize disturbance.
Protect belongings from spray
Use a dry bag for cameras and phones; even on calm days spray and splashes are common on the open boat.
