The island 4.5/5 of 241 reviews on Tripadvisor, #12 of things to do around Coron. 200p entrance fee. Preserved and privately-owned by the Gallego Family, they allow visitors to swim and see the clams, corals and lots of fishes just a few meters from the shoreline of the island. The waters are deeper than Malcapuya … Read more
Unfortunately our small boat contact is not available at the moment and our larger boats are generally too expensive for a one day trip to Linapacan. The distance from El Nido to Coron is seven hours, in which case there would be no time to stop at any of the jewels along the way. The … Read more
Kayangan Lake Click on pic to zoom in. No. 3 of things to do around Coron according to Tripadvisor. But it requires a steep 75m climb (about 300 steps total), both up and down into it, about 15 minutes if you are in reasonably good shape. That includes the waiting time, as the path is … Read more
Live on a beach paradise island, excellent snorkeling in the clearest waters in the world, very peaceful environment with a maximum of 30 guests, with 15 local fishermen families half spread out on each side of the island. The perfect meditative environment where to focus without distractions. I myself have learned some Reiki, crystal healing … Read more
Since my connection with the caretaker, my situation has felt much more certain. I no longer feel like such an outsider of a village on the verge of pulling out their pitchforks, but someone with possible clout. It went from someone who could be charged by the locals for collecting bamboo washed up onto the … Read more
Patoyo is the island where we first started, but had to move when the Amihan trade winds came because it became too windy during the dry season. View of Alvin’s little community of five fishermen families as you approach it from our previous camp. A lovely little island to explore as it has lots of … Read more
My complaint letter to Smart: I have been using your prepaid service for almost three years. I have one sim card for calling/texting (0929 500 6447) and another one for internet. Because I live on a remote island and do not want to pay for an expensive boat trip every time I want to topup … Read more
Whether you are staying in our beautiful little nature camp and looking for something to do during the day, or you have come to this area by ferry and wish to experience some island hopping without the longer multi-day tours between El Nido and Coron, there is lots to discover in this area. You can … Read more
A nice little stop about 40 minutes past our camp in Linapacan, but you can camp overnight here as well, or sleep in their guest hut, either for about 150p/pax. They have a little store which sells beer and snacks and the locals are very friendly and love to show off their videoke machine. One … Read more
[Forward note: my frustrations when dealing with the locals has reached a point where I could not resist from writing this letter to the president. One may invest heavily into faster internet or infrastructure, for faster transport, but if the people continue to move slower than snails, it can be a wasted investment.] Dear Mr. … Read more
