Coron Free and Easy (No Tour)

Highlight of our whole trip

Out of everything we did on our Philippines vacation, Coron was the undisputed highlight. Beautiful landscape, genuinely great service, and delicious food on the boat. Already planning to return with a bigger group.

Beautiful, and yes, it's hot

Be ready for the tropical heat in Coron but trust me it's completely worth it. The water is so refreshing once you're in. The coral reefs were in excellent condition — we spotted clownfish, parrotfish, and even a small reef shark in the distance. Incredible biodiversity.

Perfect for families

Family trip to Coron with kids aged 7 and 10 and it worked perfectly. The crew was wonderful with the children and made sure they had life vests at all times. The shallow-water beach stop was ideal for the little ones. As parents we felt completely relaxed.

Great for solo travelers too

Traveled alone to Coron and was matched with a really lovely group from different countries. The guide was great at facilitating conversation and making everyone feel included. Made two new travel friends I'm still in contact with months later.
