Gone with a lot of planning me and my friend Vik had finally decided for a quick vacation trip to Coron last September. Once again, I freed myself away from bustling jungle city of Manila.
Coron is part of Calamianes group of island in northern Palawan. It's admired by most tourists, who are beach and nature lover. It's been called a last remaining unspoiled treasures. Now is the best time to explore the islands.

Day 1 (Push back): The Misty Heavens----The Manila-Busuanga-Manila joy ride
The pilot: “ We can’t land due to zero-visibility”. That moment our excitement died out and we landed back to Manila after two hours of flying nowhere. What a bummer! Luckily, we were able to re-booked our flight the following day.

Day 2: The City tour
The transfer from airport to Coron city proper is one hour and it cost 150 pesos. We arrived at Patrick & Tezz guesthouse at around eight in the morning and we had ample time to rest before we set off to our city tour.
Patrick & Tezz guesthouse is a simple lodging house. A typical Coron house modestly constructed over sea water. We got our fan room for only 550 pesos per night. We simply like the room, as we felt the genuine Coron ambiance.
The sun is waving on us. It’s indeed our lucky day to wander around the city of Coron. We leisurely walk around the market area, looking for souvenir stores for pasalubong. Next, we hired a tricycle to tour us around. It was a very bumpy ride experience to Maniquit hot spring.
We took a dip at the hot spring. Imagine a huge hot tub! The water is scorching at first, but after few minutes you’re cooked already (just kidding). I recommend you go there during sunset or late afternoon, as you’ll need to loosen up and revitalize after a whole day activities.
Day 3 & 4 Malcapuya and Coron Loop
The rest of the day was spent on island hopping, swimming and snorkeling. We found new friends and we had super awesome vacation. Definitely I will go back in Coron!
