Double post.

Some of my classmates are doing their summer elective in Coron! WTF. Those sneaky ba$tards!

Hello DA

Any idea how much are we going to spend in Coron if we are going to stay for 4 days and 3 nights?

Excluding the hotel and airfare.

Thanks

Depending on what your activity is...

Depending on how many you are in a boat tour...

Depending also on your food budget...

If I will base it on my latest experience there.... P 6,000 would be enough...

For fast reply please post a message in my website http://owenferrer.i.ph

The post there is directed to my email address.

Thanks.

Hi.

Many thanks for the valuable contributions of Verbl Kint, saywhat and DA...very informative for the would-be Coron first-timers

I plan to go there soon and looks like my available time would be sometime Sep-Oct. I know this is not the best time to go but this is what my schedule could allow me. Do you think I should go ahead or do you think it's totally not advisable?

Comments/suggestions please....thanks a lot!

I think Coron is a good destination even when there's storm. I think I read a story about being stranded in Coron because of a storm. He or she enjoyed being stranded in Coron because that person was able to explore the place.

The Coron Bay / Gutob Bay area is enclosed with big islands (mainlands) like Busuanga, Culion and Coron Islands.

Therefore going there in Sept or Oct would not be a problem. Go ahead, and enjoy Coron.

Ano po ang (mga) airline(s) ang pumupunta sa Coron, Palawan (Calamian Island Group)?

I only know of Seair and Asian Spirit that goes to Busuanga Airport.

You will sure be able to visit Kayangan Lake.

There's 2 groups inquiring about Coron. I will be calling my contact in Coron because a friend of mine is also asking about it. If you like I will make you a reservation on May 12 Sat for the Coron Island Tour. The possible IT for this is: Siete Pecados, Kalachuchi Beach, Kayangan Lake, Twin Peaks Coral Garden, Barracuda Lake, Banol Beach, Skeleton Wreck, Beach 91, Beach 69, and CYC Island. I think you cannot visit all those places because you will be enjoying a particular place and you will not notice the time.

For your Sun May 13 tour, you can do an inland town tour on Mount Tapyas, Makinit Hotspring, and Mabentangen Forest/River. Just call a tricycle and rent it in going there. I think the rate there is P200. Makinit Hotspring can be accessed via the boat tour I mentioned above (not possible if low tide). But the Coron Island destination is already packed up.

You may opt to do Coron Island Tour on Sunday, and the Inland Town Tour on Saturday, whichever you feel comfortable.

You may opt, instead of Inland Town Tour, you may visit either of these destinations:
1) Banana, Malcapuya, Malaroyroy Islands
2) Lusong Gunboat/ East Tangat Wreck / Culion
3) Debatuc Island (you combine this with other Coron Island Tour that you missed)

So that I can immediately reply, please email me at oferrer@smg.sanmiguel.com

For the boat tour, it is best you start very early in morning - 6am or 7am. I think the best for your may 13 is an inland town tour because you will be arriving around 10am at Coron town. I assume you'll be coming from Busuanga airport, and you will still ride a jeep to Coron town.

For May 14, do a boat tour. You choose: 1) Coron Island Tour or 2) Banana/Malcapuya Island tour.

For May 15, what time will you leave? This will decide on what you can possibly do.

I will send a private message to you. Please check it out.

Hi all, what's the cheapest way to get from El Nido to Coron? How much and how long ang travel time? Thanks!

[whitelightning]

Hi we are planning to visit Puerto Princesa, Palawan...Will it be convenient to bring a trolley bag and have it checked in, or should we just bring our backpacks and handcarry them?

Just want to know based from your experiences, by the way, we are travelling on PAL..
