Select participants and date
High limestone walls close in like the throat of the sea as the banca slips beneath the karst shadows of Coron Island. Salted wind threads through coconut palms on distant islets; the water ahead flashes impossible blues that seem to change with every stroke of the bow. By midmorning the group slips into the Twin Lagoons through a narrow opening—waters so clear you can count the coral heads and feel the current nudging you forward. The guide nods, and the lagoon accepts you.

Adventure Tips
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Bring and apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect coral reefs; reapply only where needed after guided briefings.
Wear water shoes
Limestone steps and coral flats are sharp—light neoprene or sturdy reef booties protect feet during beach landings and short walks.
Bring small cash
Some island fees and community contributions are collected on site—prepare small Philippine pesos to pay entry or local vendors.
Hydrate and snack
Six to seven hours on the water plus sun exposure requires at least 1–2 liters of water and light snacks between stops.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Green sea turtle
- Parrotfish and schooling damselfish
History
Coron’s islands are uplifted ancient reefs; nearby WWII shipwrecks from the 1944 U.S.-Japan engagements have since become artificial reefs and dive sites.
Conservation
Siete Pecados is community-managed with reef-restoration projects; visitors are asked to follow no-touch rules and support local fees that fund stewardship.
