Coron Palawan is a true paradise! It is one of the most amazing islands in the Philippines with stunning blue and turquoise colored lagoons, vibrant reefs, exciting island hopping tours, snorkeling and scuba diving. This is the one place to island hop. There are hundreds of tropical islands, lagoons, beaches and lakes to explore.
Private and Shared Boat tours are two options for island hopping. The best tour would depend on your specific likes, preferences, activities, scenery and your budget. Renting a private boat is expensive specially if you're a solo traveler or a couple. Group tours are significantly cheaper options. Also with Group tours, everything is already planned so you end up with allotted time per visited spot. But with Private tour, you can customize your itinerary as you please. You can also come and go whenever you want to. With Group tours, all of the entrance fees to the island are already included to your tour price but with Private, you have to pay for the entrance fee for the places you chose to visit for your tour.
Both options have their Pros and Cons, but still if you have enough travel budget, we prefer the versatility of a private boat. We like the ability to have early access to some of the most sought after places in Coron before the crowds arrive. Ultimately, it all depends on what suits you best and that this video gives you some ideas and perspectives on what to expect.
Have lots of fun in this mind-blowingly beautiful place! We did and we can't wait to go back!
