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, taking you from the town pier to Kayangan Lake (consistently ranked Asia's clearest freshwater lake), Twin Lagoon, Barracuda Lake, CYC Beach, Bulog Dos Island, and Banol Beach — finishing with a freshly grilled lunch on a white-sand shore before the return cruise.
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 prepared on the boat or at Banol Beach: freshly grilled fish, rice, and seasonal vegetables cooked by your crew. The tour is built for groups of 8–12, giving each guest space on the boat and at each stop. Snorkeling gear is provided at no extra charge for the reef sections.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.8/5 by 1425 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.
