Coron [Thread 10]

[meimei]

mga sis! need help! naloka naman ako. kausap ko yung Asia Grand View kanina kasi humihingi ako ng quote ng accommodation plus tours.

anyway, nung pinag-uusapan namin yung tours, nabanggit ko na interested kaming mag-Lusong tour, yung sa Lusong Gunboat and Lusong Coral Garden. tapos parang nagulat siya tapos tinanong niya ko, "nagda-dive po ba kayo?" tapos sabi ko, "ay, akala ko pwedeng snorkeling lang yun?". kasi di naman kami divers... kaya naloka naman ako. eh 5D/4N ang tour namin kasi nga isinama ko talaga sa itinerary yung Lusong tour.

sa mga sis na nakapag-Lusong tour na, hindi ba talaga pwedeng snorkeling dun? diving talaga yun? please please someone answer me...

sis meimei last feb sa Corongaleri kami nag avail ng tour

TOUR G
Calumbuyan Island Eco-Tour
Destinations: Calumbuyan Is, Lusong Gunboat , Coral Garden

Snorkeling lang kami dyan. Tapos sa Coral Garden 2x pa ako nakasipa ng corals kaya mababaw lang siya. Sa boat namin lahat naman kami naka mask lang walang naka pang dive attire.

^sis kriztina!! you don't know how happy i am na may nag-reply sa tanong ko!! hehe. oh my gosh, alam mo ba that's the same exact tour that i'm planning to get! Calumbuyan Tour ng Corongaleri, as in sakto, yan talaga. (nagpa-quote lang ako sa AGVH ng accommodation plus tours just for the sake of comparing prices, pero yung sa Corongaleri talaga ang ina-eye ko).

sis, yehey mababaw lang! nag-research nga ako ulit ngayon, yung nakita kong picture sa isang travel blog, naka-snorkel mask lang, hindi naka-dive attire, BUT hindi siya naka-life vest, so sumisisid siya. eh hindi kami magaling mag-swimming so pag nag-i-snorkel kami, naka-life vest kami... ang follow-up question ko is, kayo ba nag-life vest? if yes, kita pa rin naman yung corals kahit naka-life vest? kasi when we went snorkeling in Helen's Garden at Puerto Princesa, naka-life vest kami pero kita pa rin naman yung corals (so pwede siya sa mga taong hindi marunong sumisid, hehe).

thanks, sis! you're a big help!

[kriztina]

sis meimei naka vest kami for safety na rin hehe mahangin kasi that day mabuti na sigurado. May kasama kami sa tour magisa lang siya tiga Chile daw siya, pero di siya nag susuot ng vest.

Coral Garden sure ako dyan mababaw siya and kita yung corals. Don't forget yung bread ha para lumapit ang mga fish. Sulit under water camera kase maganda kumuha ng pictures. Request kayo na medyo tagalan dito kase 30-45mins lang dito tapos pupunta na sa Calumbuyan Is. medyo nabitin ako sa time sa pag snorkeling. Sa island naman medyo boring (for me lang ha) kasi lunch time and swimming parang 2hrs kami nagstay dito. Natulog lang ako sa duyan. hehe

Shipwreck -- check mo yung link. Palalim yung ship di ako lumayo kasi maalon. Saka creepy feeling ko sa ship. hehe kaya after ng ilang shots bumalik na ako sa boat.

hello everyone!

i would like to thank this thread/and your posts for my recent Coron tour (May 15-18) which was wonderful and successful!

with that, I would like to pay back...

We had booked our tour through TravBest, and I can say that it was one of the best tour agencies I had dealt with so far. we were a group of 3, and one is a senior citizen, my mom, 64 years old.

Day 1: Arrival in the morning and stayed at Mt. Tapyas Hotel. Afternoon was Coron town tour, souvenir shopping, Mt. Tapyas trek (my mom was able to reach all the way to the top, thankfully!) and Macquinit Hot Spring at night.

Day 2: Boat tour to Kayangan Lake (my mom was able to trek the steep hills and steps as well, thank God she had still some energy after the previous day's trek at Mt. Tapyas). Banol beach was next which was awesome! I love it a lot! Picture-worthy too. Afternoon was spent at CYC Beach, Twin Lagoon and Twin Peaks area for snorkeling.

Day 3: Island escapade: we started the boat ride to Malcapuya beach, very nice beach! Then we headed to Banana Island (the best sand and swimming area) and some picture-taking at Two Seasons (which is I think quite expensive).

Day 4: We headed home fulfilled and relaxed.

Hope you guys would enjoy too!

hi sister! mukhang nagenjoy nga kayo ah! it's good! i'll just ask hm ang ginastos nyo? i'll bring my mom with me this coming december sana eh. ayos ba ang tours? di ba naman napagod ang mom mo? gusto ko din kasi sana magenjoy sya. alam nyo na... it's pay back time! TIA Sis!

[rising_sun]

hi sis pretty_B,

we paid for Php 6,000 per pax for the whole tour package. That includes accommodation at Mt. Tapyas Hotel with free breakfast, return transfer to and from the airport via air-conditioned van, tricycle rides to and from the dock/pier for boat tours, tour guides' fees, picnic lunch and snacks.

We literally didn't shell out any money anymore when we were there, only during dinner and pasalubongs.

Of course, airfare is excluded as you have to book your own, which for us costs Php 2999 via PAL express per pax.

Hope this helps!

[pretty_B]

^thanks sis! okay na din. pasok naman sa budget kaso...okay na ba yung fee na yan sa PAL? or baka mas mura?

[hun_nie08]

^ hi sis, ilan ba kayo? depende kasi sa dami yung price per person e...


yung coron namin sa oct cost only 1200 per pax roundtrip..  last year in cebupac 750 lang yung tickets namin roundtrip. pero madalang din kasi mag seat sale ang coron e.. so swertihan din..
