Philippines Busuanga Coron

Coron is the third-largest island in the Calamian Islands in northern Palawan in the Philippines. The island is part of the larger municipality of the same name. It is known for several Japanese shipwrecks of World War II vintage. Because of its unique ecological features, it is entirely protected by several legal proclamations. The area around the wrecks has rock formations which provide for snorkeling opportunities, with underwater visibility extending up to 24m. The water is often calm. Coron is one of the most visited destinations for wreck diving in the Philippines. Dive sites around Coron include many different reef dive sites and "Gunter´s Cave," also known as Cathedral Cave.

Although fairly unimpressive on its own, Coron is the perfect gateway to nearby fine beaches, scenic islands, and wreck diving.

Thank you for helping to make our trip smooth and memorable. Most of the hotels were quite nice and the service was great, especially at the Doubletree by Hilton where they were very accommodating. I did take advantage of the information you provided regarding suggested sites, I found your website very helpful and I have already recommended it to various friends before travelling abroad.

We were very happy with the service we received from RoutePerfect. Planning was so much fun and it was easy to play around with the different itineraries. We had no problems and it was extremely convenient to use the vouchers. The location of the hotels were great and according to what we expected. I also love the fact that you can select different budgets and modify these as well as the suggested itinerary.
