Day 1
may 6 sunday
Mla- busuanga
200 terminal fee
Van to coron 130 per pax care of april +63 917 959 0742 .
I met her when i went to coron last 2007, she works at malcapuya island before now at two seasons hotel, coron.
She also booked us at eco lodge
Lunch at kawayanan grill
- fish sinigang
- pitik 300++ 4 pcs
- i liked what we ordered especially the pitik A little pricey.
12 noon
We bought our food at the market
1500 for 2 days for 4 pax
1:30 pm- Coron tour- initially i contacted elmer (0919) 441 7721
Since his boat is not available he gave us
kuya melchor, +63 926 105 8156 Our boatman, and ate
Weng (who cooked our yummy food), and 2 assitants, who took care of our 3 days 2 nights island trip
(supposedly 4 days 3 nights.. At 10500 php)
( we decided not to stay overnight at north cay because our plans changed
When we chose to go to el nido Instead so we, re route our flight and our exit is puerto prinsesa. We paid still the php 10500 package even if the
Trip was changed, its because of the nice service they gave us. We still gave them tip. We love how they treat us. Mang melchor even gave us 2pcs birdnest for soup :-)
Kuya elmer also helped us to buy our food and drinks and all that we need.
kayangan lake 200 entrance
- trek of 30 mins i think
- its my first time here because i wasnt able visit last 2007 When i went to coron.
- its nice but i dont know why i dont find it appealing anymore. The water is not that clear. Just my observation. :-)
- twin lagoon 100 entrance
For me, water is no longer that clear also, alot of tourists that time. i saw this last 2007, it made me say "wow".
- shipwreck 100 entrance
Overnight banana island 700 each
We arrived at 6pm, room is basic.
We had dinner on top of their kubo
Owner is not accomodating. I asked for a cup of hot water but she told
Me to get it from our boatman.
We chose to stay here because reviews says its best for snorkling. But my husband dont like the way we were treated so we left right away after breakfast.
Sand - not so white and fine
Cottages are located at the far end of the island where theres alot of stones/pebbles
Day 2 may 7 monday
Visited cheron island
Ditaytayan- this is one of the nicest island, i visited this last 2007 and sand are much whiter! Now, it changed. Maybe because of the season.
Malaroyroy( two seasons now) beach front is not good for swimming. :-)
Overnight malcapuya 700 each
This is my favorite island in coron when i visited last 2007, still this island has charm for its wide stretch beach. But its low tide at 5pm.
Again, maybe because of the season. Also, sir ed (owner of malcapuya) said due to waves, Sands change. Its not that fine anymore. Off white sand. We actually use this sand as body scrubs. :-) sir ed, ask the helper to get one at the far end of the island where sand is fine.
Malcapuya island will be malcapuya regency this year or early next year. The boracay regency group
Will start the construction by
October as per sir ed advise.
Good thing, we were able to visit the island again, before it became the next boracay. For me, its more appealing that way, less exploited :-)
Mang ute, one of the caretakers showed us the corals, fish feeding also! Last 2007, very few corals now, they are rich with marine life.:-)
Day 3
may 8 tuesday
Drop by at culion, only ate weng bought the food, we just stayed at the boat then we visited pass island where we had lunch, 200 entrance, but sir ed gave us at 150 (same owner of malcapuya! Super nice island. White sand. We should have stayed here overnight than
banana :-)
Water is very clear, just that it made my skin itchy, my friend says, it might be because of small jelly fish. This is my favorite island now. :-)
north cay, south cay, dibutunay , ( all sight seeing) we opt not to stay so will have more time for black island.
Black island, nice view, with small cave with water like pool .
