Why is it called Twin Lagoon? Well, it's split into two parts by a huge rock wall. You first arrive at the outer lagoon - the front door if you like - but it's the inner lagoon that's the main event. The fun part is getting from the outer to the inner lagoon. When the tide is low, you can swim or float through a small opening under the rocks. But when the tide is high, you get to play explorer and climb up and over a wooden ladder. Either way, it's a mini-adventure before you even reach the best part! What to Expect at Twin Lagoon •The water in Twin Lagoon is a magical mix of warm and cool, perfect for a lazy swim. And the color! It's a crazy shade of blue-green that looks like it belongs in a movie. If you're looking for a moment of peace, floating here, with the sun and the quiet, feels like a hug from Mother Nature.

Why You Need to Visit Twin Lagoon Twin Lagoon is just awesome. It's a tropical paradise where you can swim, chill, and have a great time. Plus, the journey to get to the inner lagoon is like a mini treasure hunt. What's not to love? If you're planning your trip, the best time to visit is between November and May. To get there, you take a boat ride from Coron Town. Don't worry, the trip is part of the fun. You'll pass by other islands and beautiful rock formations along the way. Twin Lagoon is a part of the usual tours in Coron. But if you want something more special, you can book a private tour. Just remember to check the local rules and requirements before you plan your visit. CORON PALAWAN TRAVEL GUIDE with Budget Itinerary Group tour: P1500-P1800 per pax (All in) Private boat: P2700 for 2-4 pax, P3250 for 8 pax, P3800 for 9-15 pax Coron Town Tour Group tour: P550+ per pax Cebu to Coron Philippine Airlines offers competitive Busuanga fares from Cebu and Clark If you join a Group Tour You’ll be paying per person and will be sharing the trip with other tourists. You’ll find these tours offered by various operators throughout the town. This is great for those traveling alone or with a small group. * Pros: You don’t need to worry about anything else. You just pay one time, show up, and the agency will do everything for you. You also get to meet other travelers. * Cons: You have almost no control of the itinerary and how much time you will be spending at each stop. If you charter a private boat You will need to book with Calamian Tourist Boat Association. Their office is at the near end of the Lualhati Park. They have standardized the rates of boat trips depending on the size of the boat needed, the number of passengers, and your destination. Is it cheaper? Only if you’re a big group. Rates depend on the boat size. For example, for Coron Island Tour, a boat that can accommodate 2-4 passengers costs P2700, 5-8 pax for P3250, or 9-15 pax for P3800. Obviously, you’ll be maximizing this if you’re a group of 10 or bigger. * Pros: Although there is a suggested itinerary, you have total control of your time and schedule. If you want to stay longer somewhere, you can. If you want to skip a stop, you can too. And as I said, if you’re a big group, it will turn out much cheaper than joining a group tour. * Cons: The published rates cover only the boat fee. NOT included are the tour guide fee (P500) and entrance fees. Food is NOT included either, so you will need to bring your own provisions. Fortunately, the public market is near the port and the boatmen can prepare and cook your meals at no extra cost, so you can simply shop for ingredients before your trip. •This is the classic Coron Island Tour. The usual Group Tour rate is somewhere between P1500 and P1800. However, you’ll find tours for only P1300 or even as low as P750. Why the big difference? Check the itinerary. The most iconic attractions in Coron are Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoon. Many of the offers we found don’t cover both. Some just include Kayangan Lake and a few other stops, or Twin Lagoon and a few other stops. If you want to make the most of your stay, book a tour that has both in the itinerary. Top Budget Guest Houses Under P1000 If you’re working with a really limited budget, consider no-frills, basic guest houses and inns. Here are the four highest-rated around and under P1000 per night, as scored by Agoda users. * Ahras Place. Coron Town Proper. Check Rates and Availability * Quiet Place to Stay in Coron.

Stalagmite gazing is more fun in Palawan! Guests enjoy intently looking in amazement at a gigantic stalagmite, a rock formation that rises from the floor of a cave due to the accumulation of materials deposited on the floor from ceiling drippings, inside the Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) in the island province of Palawan, Philippines. Follow the link on my profile and know the reasons why the spot had been declared as one of the 7 New Wonders of Nature!
