6–8 hours
Suitable for travelers in good general health who can swim and climb short ladders; some mobility required for boat entry/exit.
Board a private outrigger and slip through Coron’s limestone fingers to Pukaway Cave and the famed Twin Lagoon. This intimate boat tour pairs early access to quiet coves with a beachfront lunch and local-guided snorkeling for a day built around slow, private discovery.
You push off from the Coron pier before the day heats up, the outrigger’s engine a light hum beneath an open sky. Water parts like glass and the limestone cliffs of Coron rise, sheer and pocked, as if time itself has scored them. Your private boat threads between karst fingers and emerald bays; each turn reveals a new pocket of color — shallow aquamarine, deep navy, the green of jungle spilling to rock.

Use mineral-based sunscreen to protect coral; apply at least 15 minutes before entering the water.
Rocky steps, ladders and reef entries are easier with grippy water shoes — they protect feet and improve traction.
Use a small drybag or waterproof case for phones and mirrorless cameras — spray and shallow swims are constant.
Guides know safe entry points and tide windows—follow their instructions for ladder climbs, cave swims and snorkeling routes.
Coron’s karst islands are uplifted ancient coral formations; the region also holds WWII shipwrecks from naval battles near Busuanga.
Coron’s reefs are sensitive—support operators who enforce no-touch rules, use reef-safe sunscreen, and avoid anchoring on coral.
Protects both your skin and local coral ecosystems.
