When we arrived at Busuanga airport, I was very excited since this is my first time to go to Palawan, particularly Coron. So, after we got our things from the airport we need to travel 45mins to 1 hour from Busuanga airport to Coron Proper via van.

First stop when we arrive at Coron is to climb at the 718 steps of Mt. Tapyas (one of the mountains in Coron)... Yes, you read it right! 718 steps but all I can say it's really worth it. It's highly recommended once you visited Coron. The best time to climb Mt. Tapyas is early in the morning, to see the sunrise or before the night falls to get a glimpse of the lovely sunset. Once on top, you see the breathtaking panoramic view of the islands and the mountains. You need to ride a tricycle (main transportation used in Coron) to go to Mt. Tapyas. If in case you got thirsty along your way up, no need to worry, there are kids that offers soda's and refreshing drinks for you.

After climbing the 718 steps of Mt. Tapyas, I'm a bit tired and exhausted plus my long way of travel to/from the airport. So, it's time to pamper myself as we go to Maquinit Hot Spring...

If you still have some time and energy, you can go visit Coron Town Proper via Tricycle. The tricycle fare may vary, it is ranging from P8 to P10 per head which also depends on the distance.

If your planning to buy souvenirs, you can go to shops at Coron Proper or you can go to market, to buy Danggit for
pasalubong (gift) to your love ones.... Of course I would not miss to buy Danggit as well for me and my family, and the price is affordable and reasonable. Just wrap it properly so you won't have problem in the airport when you leave.
