Coron, Palawan 2013

Last June 15-20, 2013, me and two of my officemates had a blast at Coron, Palawan. It was definitely one of the most memorable trips we had so far. Not to mention, we got stranded at Coron Airport as we waited for our flight back to Cebu on the 20th due to very bad weather. Since the next flight from Coron to Cebu was still on the 22nd, we decided to accept their offer to take the connecting flights from Coron to Manila to Cebu the next day.

Anyway, we didn't approach any travel agency since we all know, they would ask a very high price, so we rather arranged our tours and mind you, we spent a very reasonable amount of money. We booked our accomodation at Coron Reef Pension House. The location is good since it is situated near the town. We only spent 1.3k each on our accomodation. Very good and reasonable for a 6D/5N tour, right? :p

One should not worry in arranging a Coron Tour because when you reach the town, there are a LOT of agencies that offers boat tours for Coron tours and Coron - Puerto Princesa tours daily.

Below is our itinerary.
