About this experience

Coron is a haven for diving and snorkeling. This tour will take you to some of the best diving spots on the waters around the island.

You'll get to stop by a World War II-era Japanese supply ship that was sunk during one of the battles around the island. It rests on a shallow part of the sea, so you can easily visit it using a snorkel and mask. Barracuda Lake is also a prominent spot in Coron. It is a very unusual site and is famous for its Thermocline.

Aside from these two spots, other stops include Smith Beach, Twin Lagoon, and Reef Garden. The boat crew will prepare lunch, and you'll enjoy it at one of the stops along the way.

This tour is not intended for cruise ship guests. If you are arriving in one, please consider booking a private tour to accommodate your ship's unique arrival and departure schedules. For more details, please contact us directly.
