Where shipwrecks, lagoons & coral reefs meet unforgettable encounters
Coron and Busuanga in northern Palawan are among the most captivating destinations in all of Southeast Asia – Island-hopping between hidden beaches with limestone cliffs rise from turquoise lagoons. Beneath the surface, Japanese warships sunk during World War II sleep in the depths, now wrapped in coral and alive with fish. Enjoy freediving and snorkeling in crystal-clear freshwater lakes or watching sunsets over the Busuanga archipelago – Coron is a place that reveals itself slowly, generously, to those willing to linger. The more time you give it, the more it gives back.
