7–8 hours
You should be comfortable climbing stairs, scrambling short rocky sections and swimming short distances with a life vest.
A single full day of island-hopping around Coron that pairs steep limestone viewpoints with crystalline lagoons and vibrant reefs. Expect a 7–8 hour boat circuit visiting Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoon, CYC Beach, Coral Garden and Siete Pecados with lunch included.
The boat slips away from Coron’s shoreline before the light thickens; a low hum of outboard motors and the sea’s saltiness wake you. Limestone cliffs loom like weathered sculptures, their faces pierced with caves and curtains of green. On this full-day circuit — commonly known as Tour C — the islands of northern Busuanga run through a concise sequence of high points: Kayangan Lake’s glassy lagoon, the twin-temperature mystery of Twin Lagoon, the shallow reefs of CYC Beach and Coral Garden, finishing with the jewel-like islets of Siete Pecados.

Start at Kayangan Lake as early as possible to avoid crowds and harsh midday light on the viewpoint stairs.
Oils and chemicals damage coral — use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply sparingly before entering water.
Shorelines and ladder exits at Twin Lagoon can be sharp and slippery; lightweight water shoes protect feet and improve traction.
Keep phones, extra cash and cameras dry; boats can be bouncy and spray reaches seating areas.
Coron’s waters contain WWII shipwrecks and have long been part of seafaring routes; the indigenous Tagbanua people manage many of the island permits and protect local resources.
Park fees help fund marine protection; practice no-touch snorkeling, use reef-safe products, and support local guides who follow sustainable anchoring zones.
Protects both your skin and the corals when you’re snorkeling and swimming.
