🗓️ Best Time to Visit

🌞 Why go when everyone else does? Here’s the insider scoop: the best time to visit Coron is between December to April (when the weather’s perfect for beach days and island hopping), but if you wanna dodge the crowds, visit from May to November – off-peak but still a vibe, with fewer people and a whole new side of the islands to discover! Pro-tip: Rainy season? No worries, still a great time to explore the town, enjoy the local food scene, and vibe at the bars. No crowds, but plenty of action.

🚕 How to Get To & Around

Getting to Coron? So easy, you’ll wonder why you didn’t come sooner. Fly directly into Busuanga Airport (USU)—from Manila, it’s just a 1-hour flight! Or, if you’re feeling extra adventurous, take a ferry from Puerto Princesa. 

Now, from the ports, you’ve got the vibe – trikes are your go-to, but expect around ₱150-₱200 per ride to get to town. If you’re island-hopping, hire a boat for the day, starting at around ₱1500-₱2500 (depending on your group size). Watch out for extra charges, but hey, that’s part of the adventure! Always haggle like a pro!
