Select participants and date
The morning boat slips away from Coron town and the limestone walls of Busuanga swell into view like a raw-edged cathedral. Salt air sharpens the silence; palms lean toward an ocean that seems to push you out to the day’s first stop. On Tour B, the boat becomes a moving vantage point—one moment you’re threading between karst spires, the next you’re jumping into water so clear you can read the reef beneath your toes.

Coron’s reefs are fragile—choose biodegradable sunscreen and reapply responsibly during the day.
Bring a dry bag and quick-dry towel
A small dry bag keeps electronics safe during boat transfers; quick-dry towels save space and dry fast between swims.

Low or incoming tides affect whether you can paddle or duck through the Twin Lagoon entrance—ask the guide before planning photos.
