Aba, new thread.

Basing on the previous posts, for solo travel mas sulit to get package from Corongaleri di ba mga sis? The only downside is that I have to extend for a day because the usual Coron Loop is spread to 2 days. But then, that's not bad either because you don't get rushed to finish all Coron loop islands in a day...quality time ika nga..

[cristyles]

  Correct sis, maganda ma-enjoy ang beautiful views of Coron. Ang peaceful doon at nakaka-miss balikan.  Friendly mga community doon at disiplinado sila. Dumarami na rin ang mga travel packages papuntang Coron sa groupo buying websites ^^

[pinklilac]

mga sis.. pls suggest naman po ng accommodation na  malapit sa beach..yung affordable din po sana
tia

[bebeloo]

^sis, parang lahat ng alam kong beachfront accommodations ay mga luxury resorts. baka may ibang nakakaalam ng mura, kung meron.

[pinklilac]

^oo nga sis..nag check ako at nakaka dugo ng ilong ang rate nila..hehe

kahit sana yung medyo malapit lang sa beach.

sana may makapag rekomenda dito..

[sublime1]

I think if gusto niyo ng beach front accommodation, ok naman sa banana island 

[hakunamatata]

^ try mo check yung bagong resort sa coron, cashew grove resort. =)

[pinklilac]

sis, with corongaleri di mo na kailangan kunin B1 and B2 ng 2 days last time kase nung kinuha namin ng 2 days nakita na namin kung alin ang pwede i-skip.. kaya this time kinompress na namin sa 1 day, pinagsama na namin mga gusto namin puntahan from B1 and B2. naka 8 destinations kmi for only 750 kala ko nga 5 destinations lang eh nagulat ako nung may mga dinagdag pa sila madali kasi sila kausap sabihin mo lang kung ano yung mga gusto mo iadd.. on our case, siete pecados lang yung pinabayaran samin kaya from 650 naging 750 which is rate talaga nila for B2

[sweet_vanilla]

Just arrived from Coron. I say sobrang okay at sulit bakasyon namin for 4D and 3N. We got Kuya Charlie's service. Highly recommended ko siya. Aside sa accredited tour guide siya ng DOT, alam mo na he knows what he's talking about. Halos alam niya lahat about Coron. Kase pinag-aaralan nila yun just to be accredited. For 4 days yung training nila with DOT ha, may exam pa yun. Yung iba kase na tour guide sa Coron, sad to say, hindi pa accredited, kaya dapat kunin niyo yung accredited kase trained sila pati sa mga first aid at survival just in case lang may maaksidente. Sobra bait ni Kuya Charlie tapos dami niya kuwento. Hindi siya boring kasama, lahat na yata napagkuwentuhan naming 3 ng kasama ko. Coron, El Nido, Palawan, Politics, Economy, Americans, Tourists, Agriculture pati mga mythical creatures like Aswang at kulam. Hahaha. In short, well rounded si kuya kaya masaya kausap. Member siya ng isang touring company rin, name yata is Coron Busuanga Touring, parang ganun, pero freelancer tourist din sya.

Eto tour namin, worth Php6,500 (4D and 3N inclusive of accommodation, lunch for 2D, airport transfer roundtrip, breakfast in your choice of accommodation, entrance fees to all tourist spots)

DAY 1

Lualhati Park
Mt. Tapyas (725 steps to reach the peak)
Maquinit Hot Spring (sarap, if pwede lang maghapon dun hehe)

DAY 2

Coron Loop Island Hopping

- Siete Pecados
- Kayangan Lake
- Atwayan Beach (where we had our lunch) - got bitten by a territorial fish, pati yung friend ko at yung apo ng bangkero namin. waaahhh! natakot na tuloy ako sa ibang isda. hahaha. medyo nagbleed ng konti eh.di naman sobra sakit, kakagulat lang parang may tumuka sa paa ko ng 2x. hahaha. Sa shallow water daw nagtathrive yun sabi Kuya Charlie.
- Skeleton Wreck
- Twin Lagoon (kapagod magswim kase wala siya parang bamboo na pahingahan sa gilid, langoy at lutang talaga. sa bato bago pumasok ng twin lagoon, dun pala shinoot yung Dyesebel ni Marian, yung malaking bato dun na pinapatungan ni Marian hehe)
- Twin Peak (sobra ganda ng marine life at corals, mas maganda pa sa Siete Pecados)


DAY 3

Island Hopping

* We opt not to go to the Malcapuya, Banana Island and Bulog Dos usual trip kase I like yung mga off the beaten track na destinations. Hahaha. Atsaka puro beaches kase yung tatlo na yun nakakasawa na rin for us. So eto yung Day 3 namin...

- Japanese Gunboat Shipwreck (you can actually step sa shipwreck kase shallow yung lugar na pinaglubugan. From the boat makikita mo na yung wreck eh. Then eventhough hindi ka diver, just by snorkeling makikita mo na yung ship and its rich marine life. sobra dami isda, sumasabay sa amin lumangoy. kulit. hahaha.  One of a kind experience makakita ng ship wreck so I don't regret that we did not choose the popular Malcapuya Island

- Pass Island (where we had lunch. Nice ng beach na to. white, fine sand and sobra linaw ng tubig. hindi rin overcrowded so masarap magpahinga at mag swim.

- Coral Garden (the BEST! sa sobrang dami ng corals, coral beds, fishes at kung ano ano pa, unlike sa Twin Peak at Siete Pecados, wala ka makikita na sand o bato sa ilalim, puro corals at marine life at kung ano ano pa na makulay. Sayang low bat na underwater cam namin hindi namin napicturan T-T )

DAY 4

Just bought additional souvenirs sa Everly Garden at dried pusit sa bayan (100 each plastic) then sinundo na kame ng service ng 2PM.

Hehe. Sorry sobra haba. Gagawa ako ng itinerary cum travel guide about our tour and share it to you guys pag tapos na. Basta I recommend Kuya Charlie. Hindi kayo magsisisi...^_^

[chin66ay]

^sis i mean sa island tour pwede ba magstart ng 1pm?

[sweet_vanilla]

ay di ko lang sure. pwede pa naman pero piling islands na lang siguro.

[madiday]

^sis mloveg sorry di pa ko makareply sa PMs, btw 5 kami nun, sa corongaleri kase atleast 5 in a group para ma-avail mo yung lowest price nila or else mas mataas babayaran nyo pero most of the time sila na naghahanap ng makakasama sa group para yung minimum rate lang ang bayaran nyo. eto contact number ni ms.mae 0919-3054363, ok lang din kung didirecho na kayo dun pero syempre mas maganda kung maadvise agad. pansin ko lang parang di sila masipag magreply kaya call ka nalang para sure. hehe!

[foruiz]

tnx for the idea sis madiday. I will try if that if it is feasible for solo travel. Sana may mahanap ako na group with the same thing in mind. Anyway planning stage pa lang ako. 

[two_zero]

sis huit sorry pero i dont think dot accredited ang tourguide ninyo, wala pang 10pax ang dot accreditted dito sa coron, ang ibang tourguide kasi sinasabi na dot creditted sila at may mga id pa pero hindi they have to admit na they are not really dot accredited, the training is for those coronians who wants to be a member of a license tourguide pero ang member hindi sila talaga tourguide inaaccredit lang sila ng licensed tourguide association not the dot po. licensed tourguide kasi is sa manila lang wala pa dito sa coron and we have to be trained 1month not 4days po. yan ang mahirap sa ibang tourguide dito pag may id akala nila tourguide na talaga hehe,

[huit]

^ @two_zero

Hmmm...i think yun nga yun. parang member sila ng licensed tour guide ng Coron. I'm not sure if DOT accredited nga, pero if 1 month pala dapat if DOT accredited, baka nga accreditation lang yung sinabi nya samin for licensed tour guide and not DOT, baka na misheard ko lang. hehe.  But at least he underwent the 4 day training ng DOT at member na sya ng licensed tour guide sa Coron. Yung iba daw kase ayaw mag training at exam. hehe. Anyway, are you a tour guide in Coron? =)

[chin66ay]

sis baka may makasagot sa question ko: kung mga 1pm magstart ng isalnd tour, san kaya kami pwede? bitin ba yun?
