just got back from our 3d2n trip in Coron. thank God for the good weather!  ;D sa Balaibinda kami nag-stay and ok naman service nila, rooms are ok as well. Kinuha namin si mang elmer for our trip since we wanted a private tour (we're 3 in the group) & pili lang din yung spots na gusto namin puntahan.

supposedly, mt. tapyas & maquinit upon our arrival pero dahil tinamad na kami, nag-rest na lang sa Balaibinda.

tour 1: malcapuya, banana, bulog dos (mas nagustuhan namin sa banana island)
           shipwreck, twin lagoon (super relaxing sa twin lagoon, enjoy sa hot & cold water)  :)

tour 2: siete pecados (ang daming fish!) & kayangan lake

sa food, we ate in centro coron, sea dive, lolo nonoy's
pasalubong: escarda's cashew & sa souvenir shop

I just got back from our 3 days 2 nights trip in Coron. Well, naging 4days and 3nights pa pala siya since nacancel ang flight namin back to manila supposedly September 22. Sayang tuloy ang 1 day! But i really enjoyed my Coron trip..  :)

My friends and I stayed at Islands View Inn. We availed of their accommodation and tour package. Food was excellent. It was really delicious! They served it on time. Seafoods kung seafoods! Haha The hotel is near the port and the market place. You wouldn't get lost. We bought our pasalubongs and souvenir items at the market place na lang para malapit lang sa hotel. The staff at the hotel are very friendly. They are always smiling and willing to answer all our queries. They even helped us with our things. They will knock at your doors if your food is ready. Van transportation is also on time. Our your guide was really accommodating. He answered all our questions and made sure that we will really enjoy our vacation. Kuya Raymond and Kuya Joel were really patient.

 Day 1 - we went to Mt. Tapyas and when we were already in the middle of our trek, it suddenly rained. So syempre nabasa kami lahat pero it was a fun experience naman. After Mt.Tapyas, we went to Maquinit Hit Spring. Medyo madami tao that time pero dead ma. Nagenjoy pa din kami ng friends ko. Half day tour lang kami since na-move ni cebupac ang 9am trip namin to 12nn trip..

Day 2 - by 8am, we started our coron loop tour. First we went to Kayangan Lake. Sobrang ganda dito! Pero bago mo makikita [textspeak!] ganda niya, mahihirapan ka muna sa pag akyat at pagbaba! May pinasukan din kaming cave sa may kayangan lake. Then, dinala kami ni kuya joel sa may malayong bahagi nung lake and sobrang amazing [textspeak!] mga rock formations sa ilalim! :) After Kayangan Lake, we went to Twin Peaks, mga corals ang nakita ko dito. Maganda din siya. After that, we had lunch at Banol Beach. Super peaceful naman sa beach na to :) white sand at sobrang pino nung sand. Nagswimming pa kami before kami maglunch since hinahanda pa nila KuyaJoel ang food namin. After Banol, we went to Skeleton Shipwreck! Naenjoy ko din to kase nagpakain kami ng mga isda! Sobrang daming isda dito!  :) tapos tinour kami ni Kuya Joel sa may shipwreck area at pinakita niya sa amin yung ibat ibang mga isda pati na mga corals. Nakita namin ang family ni nemo hehe pero 3 lang sila.. After shipwreck, we went to Twin Lagoon. Kakaiba din na experience kase mixture of cold and hot water.. According to Kuya Joel, 10% fresh water un at 90% salty. Napaka tahimik sa twin lagoon!  :) before going back to the port, nag snorkel muna kami sa Cally's Point.  :) ang saya saya..  :)

Day 3 - we just went sa town proper to buy last minute pasalubongs. By 11am, we went na to the airport.
On our way to the airport, sobrang lakas ng ulan. We thought na madedelay ang flight namin. But we were wrong. Since our flight got cancelled due to bad weather in Coron, we went back to Islands View. They offered us a discounted room rate.

 I really enjoyed my short vacation! I would definitely come back since I haven't been to Malcapuya and Banana Island.  :)

^^sis!!!! mura na yung P1,567 per person. for me ha. kasi hirap na hirap akong maka-tsempo ng murang airfare for 11pax for Summer 2013. P1,200/pax lang ang budget namin. haaaayyyy... yung mga promo fare naman kasi, paunti-unti lang. or inuubos ng travel agencies? hay.

@meimei - Talaga? Feeling ko kasi mas mura kung piso fare. Pero in the end, thankful kami na hindi kami sa Cebupac sumakay kasi sila ang may delayed flights. AirPhil ang on-time and walang stranded,  surprisingly  :)

^hi sis, mas mura ng onti pag piso fare, abot siguro ng P900/pax (mahal kasi taxes and other fees). i just meant na it's cheap enough, hehe, na makakuha pa rin kayo ng ganun. :) ang tiyaga ko kasi mag-abang kaso di pa rin ako nakaka-book for 11pax. pag makakita kami ng P1,500, we'll be very happy with it. :)

been there last 23rd-26th :) It is really a nice place. Sort of DIY ginawa namin ni hubby. I have a list of must do's and where to avail it.

We stayed at GLC Lodging house deluxe room for 2, fan room, cable tv and private bathroom for 500/night. Ok na rin since we don't need fancy room. Just a comfortable place to sleep after the day's tour. They have a "contact" van to fetch you at the airport so you don't need to ask around for the place. It's in the same compond as Rudy's lodge. about 1.5Km from town proper... anyway, 10php lang pamasahe sa trike. The good thing about the place outside the town proper... a goodnight sleep :) walang ingay ng trikes or mga nagbobonggahang videokehan sa mga inuman place.

After checking-in, nagpunta na kami sa Corongaleri to book for our tour. yung B1 tour (Island Tour) nila which is pinaka-mabili, everyday ang trip but the rest like tour C (malcapuya Island) you need to be atleast 5 to book. May nakausap na akong ka-join sa PEX site. Kaya nag-usap na lang kami ng dates when to avail those tours. MAy mga nabasa akong mas mura kung DIY, look for a boat man. Steal na rin sa akin ang corongaleri kasi I don't need to think about our lunch kasi provided na. Wala lang. I'm there to enjoy so ayoko na ng mga ganung concerns. Then tour na...
                           
Day 1: Mt. Tapyas, Maquinit Hotspring.
          - just hire a tricycle driver you can meet around, cost range from 250-300pesos. Actually they offer day tour already mga 50php lang dagdag. But we didn't do it kasi nagtagal kami sa Mt. Tapyas. Ang tagal ko nakaakyat at ayoko muna bumababa :) going to Maquinit is quite creepy. Ang dilim ng daan kung later than 6pm na kayo pupunta. 150php ang entrance. Mainit, masarap talaga ilublob ang tired feet after Mt. Tapyas.
         
Day 2: Malcapuya Island c/o corongaleri
         - ang ganda ng place :) fine white sand. Parang Boracay. FYI, nabili na sya ng Boracay Regency. In three years madedevelop na yun at mahal na. So beter puntahan na ngayon. Good for snorkeling. Makikita nyo si nemo at dory about 50meters from the shore. Pero ang lalim ng water mga 6ft lang. Clear water, parang aquarium lang. May giant clams din and iba't ibang kulay ng stones. You have options to go to Banana ISland and Bulog but we didn't Transfer na. The food is great. Inihaw na chicken at fish at alimango. Beware sa may highblood... ang yaman sa aligi eh. Good place to chill lang.

Day 3: Island Tour c/o Corongaleri
          - adventure naman toh. Iba't-ibang activity bawat place na pupuntahan. May swimming lang, snorkeling, treking at kain. hehe Yummy ang food: inihaw na pork at fish wala na lang coke tulad ng food for Malcapuya tour.

Day 4: Town Tour
          - DIY na lang. Lakad-lakad sa town at picture picture
