Coron, Busuanga islands are one of the best islands in the Philippines with its gorgeous beaches, corals and marine life.Since I love nature and beaches (though I'm not a good swimmer) :( We are very eager to kick start the day as we want to place our feet on those turquoise water and white sand.

| Our boat used on our island hopping |
Our package is for 4 days and 3 nights that we booked at
www.coronpackagetour.com We can personalized the itinerary or choose from the two package options. First, is the
Coron Loop tour or
Coron Banana Island Tour. (Click the link for more details of the tours) We opted to chose Coron Banana Island since we heard that those island included in the package were a must see at Coron. What's good in getting a tour package is that everything is ready for you. The inclusions in all package were room accommodation (air-conditioned), round trip transfer via van from Busuanga airport to resort and vice -versa, island bout tour, lunch during boat tour, breakfast on selected lodgings only, tour assistance/guide, life vests usage and transportation to Maquinit hot spring, with all these inclusions I think its a reasonable price and a good deal.
First stop we went to our jump-off point, the port. There, we will meet again our tour guide as well as the boat that we will use, with regards to the boat, it is not guaranteed that it will be exclusive especially when going to far islands like Banana island, Malcapuya and Bulog Dos, they might join you in other group unless you will book it exclusively but when we had our Coron Loop tour the boat is exclusive to us since those islands are not that far.

Just a reminder that if your going for a boat tour make sure that you brought a water proof bag or anything that will make your things safe from the splash of water especially to your gadgets. If you have underwater camera, bring it because you don't want to miss to take a photo of the sunken ship (skeleton ship wreck), colourful corals and hundred of fishes that will pass your way when you do your snorkeling.

In case you got hungry during your island tour, no need to worry since lunch were included. Our tour guide already brought some food then on lunch time we stop in one of the islands to have our lunch. The tour guide will cook the food and prepare everything, so while waiting you can enjoy taking photos and playing in the sand with your love ones.

This photo was taken at Malcapuya beach. Love all the food that they serve, everything is fresh. And I may say our tour guide is a good cook as well.... 2 thumbs up for you Ate! =)

After our lunch it's time for siesta. A quick nap under the trees or in the cottage, then its time for snorkeling again. If you don't have you own snorkel you can rent to the tour guide, I think it ranges from 150-200 each but since I brought my own snorkel, it saves me money and more hygienic as well. Our tour guide gave us a bread, I wondered why because we just had our lunch. They said, "feed it to the fish so that they will come to you and it's easy to take photo with them as well". And it was really an amazing feeling to be that close to different kinds of fish. Really fun!

I really had fun during my stay at Coron. Not as crowded as other tourist spots and beaches. It's really a nice place to relax and bond with the family, friends and love ones. I will definitely comeback. See you again Coron and Busuanga Islands!!!
