Full-Day Coron Island Hopping on a Private Double-Decker Party Boat
Select participants and date
The morning light in Coron splits off the limestone ridges in shafts of hard white; the harbor wakes slowly, and before long a two-level pontoon pushes away from the pier with a small cheering crowd on board. The upper deck basks in sun, promising room to stretch and sunbathe, while the shaded lower deck keeps cool like a retreat from the tropics. Over the next nine hours the boat becomes a private stage for a route through emerald lakes, reef gardens, WWII wrecks and sugar-white beaches.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect fragile corals and avoid fines; regular sunscreens damage reefs—use reef-safe options and reapply on the boat.
Wear water shoes
Limestone steps and sharp reef sections are common at landing spots—protect your feet and increase traction.
Carry small cash
Entrance fees and local vendors at islands often accept cash only—bring small bills in a dry pouch.
Hydrate and pace swims
It’s a full-day outing in tropical heat—drink water between snorkeling sessions and avoid overexertion.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Green sea turtle
- Colorful reef fish (butterflyfish, parrotfish)
History
Several WWII shipwrecks around Coron, including the Skeleton Wreck, became artificial reefs after Allied airstrikes; these wrecks are now important dive and snorkel sites.
Conservation
Coron’s reefs are under pressure from tourism and bleaching—use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching corals and support local guides who follow no-take rules.
