Coron Ultimate Tour: 7 Destinations with Lunch & Transfers
About This Experience
Coron's Ultimate Tour packs seven of the archipelago's headline stops into a single day, with hotel pickup in Coron town between 8:00 and 9:00 AM and stops at Kayangan Lake, Twin Lagoon, Skeleton Wreck, the Malwawey Coral Garden, CYC Beach and Barracuda Lake, with a buffet lunch at Atwayan (Banol) Beach. Drop-off is around 5:00–5:30 PM.
Your outrigger banca departs early to beat the crowds at Kayangan Lake, where a short jungle trail leads to the iconic viewpoint before you swim through the turquoise entrance. At Twin Lagoon you pass through a low sea cave to reach the landlocked inner lagoon, whose thermal layers create a surreal gradient of warm and cool water. Barracuda Lake's brackish water and volcanic rock shelves round out the swimming stops before the afternoon opens onto open beaches.
Lunch is a buffet at a shaded island lunch area, with bottled water. Entrance fees and permits are included, but the Coron Environmental Fee is paid separately in cash on arrival, and snorkelling gear and kayaks are optional extras.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.8/5 by 1492 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
Absolutely breathtaking. Kayangan Lake alone is worth every peso — the water is the clearest I've ever seen. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about each stop and the beach lunch was delicious. Could not recommend more highly.

We did the 7-destination tour and it exceeded every expectation. Twin Lagoon was magical — you swim through a low cave into a hidden cove. The crew was friendly, lunch was fresh grilled fish on the beach, and the whole day felt effortless.

Best day of our entire Philippines trip. The guide made all the difference — he knew exactly when to visit each spot before the crowds arrived. We had Kayangan Lake almost to ourselves at sunrise. Book this, you won't regret it.
