9 hours
Suitable for most fitness levels; you should be able to climb short ladders, swim/snorkel for 20–30 minutes and walk short uneven trails.
Spend a full day island-hopping from Coron Town to Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoon, WWII wrecks and Sunset Beach. This nine-hour boat tour blends limestone karst scenery, historic wreck snorkeling and calm crystalline lakes into one compact, action-packed day.
By the time the sun clears the jagged teeth of Coron Island, the water around the pier is a sheet of glass that refuses to stay still. You board beneath a hand-painted IAM CORON sign at Lualhati Park, luggage stowed, the boat’s engine ticking as a guide checks life jackets. In minutes you’re skimming past limestone spires that rise so abruptly from the sea they look carved by a deliberate hand — cliffs that have watched warships fall and reefs reassemble themselves into living cities.

Meet at the IAM CORON sign 20–30 minutes before departure to ensure a smooth pickup and boarding process.
Apply mineral-based sunscreen before boarding and reapply sparingly to protect corals and marine life.
Protect phone, wallet and camera from spray during island transfers and while on the boat.
Expect ladder climbs, jagged limestone edges and shallow reef entries —closed-toe water shoes improve traction.
The Calamian Islands were a strategic theater in WWII; many Japanese and Allied vessels sank here in 1944 and have since become rich artificial reefs.
Coron’s reefs are fragile; follow no-touch rules, use reef-safe sunscreen, and support operators who pay local permit fees that fund marine conservation.
A well-fitted mask reduces fogging and improves underwater visibility during reef and wreck stops.
