You can check out details of private single day tours near Coron, but the main sites are included in the multday expedition to El Nido. You can also extend your multiday expedition by seeing some of the more remote areas further west, out of reach to the typical Coron backpacker crowd. Coron is more of a commercial town and doesn’t really have a beach, in which case if you would like to stay in the area longer, we advise on one of the island beach resorts.

You can check out details of the various El Nido tours. One of our favourite highlights is the zipline to neighbouring island to walk back ankle deep along sandbar to sunset restaurant. If you are into nightlife El Nido usually has many live bands playing in the beach restaurants, mostly though during the peak season roughly from November through February. It has a long beach so there is plenty to see. If your plane arrives late in the day you will not have enough time for a full day boat tour until the next day.
