Suitable for most fitness levels; you should be comfortable climbing short ladders and swimming/snorkeling for brief periods.
Rent a private speedboat from Coron and design your own island-hopping day—Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoon, WWII wrecks and quiet coral gardens—without the crowds. This nine-hour customizable route gives you time to snorkel, picnic, and explore on your schedule.
The engine idles and the harbor smells of diesel and sun-warmed wood as your private speedboat slips away from Coron Harbor Square. Islands rise from the water like cut limestone outcrops—sheer gray cliffs that dare you closer—while the crew lays out masks and life vests and hands over a simple map of destinations. For the next nine hours, the itinerary is yours: a customized route through kayangan lakes, secret coral gardens, WWII wrecks and beaches where the sand is fine enough to warm your palm.

Depart Coron Harbor around 7:00–8:00 a.m. for calmer waters, cooler light, and less crowded viewpoints.
Apply reef-safe sunscreen before you enter the water and reapply on dry skin to protect coral and marine life.
Small park or island fees and village purchases are often cash-only—bring Philippine pesos and small denominations.
Boat decks and ladder rungs get slippery—rubber-soled water shoes reduce slips when boarding from the sea.
Coron’s waters are dotted with WWII Japanese shipwrecks sunk during the 1944 Battle of Coron; many wrecks now support thriving reef ecosystems and are popular snorkel and dive sites.
Local operators emphasize reef-safe practices and limit access during high season; visitors are encouraged to use reef-friendly sunscreen, avoid touching coral, and support community-based tourism initiatives.
Better fit and performance than rental gear for longer snorkel sessions and clearer photos.
Protects skin from sun and coral from harmful chemicals that damage reefs.
