5 destinations:
1. CYC Beach
2. Sunset Beach
3. Hidden Lagoon
4. Kayangan Lake
We got our tour at Dream Travel & Tours located on the main road. This is our first choice for island hopping the first time I went here.
These are the destinations we are going to.
From the tour place they put us to a tricycle to take us down to the port to the boat loading area. The snorkel and fens are not included in the tour so we have to rent them for 150 pesos each. That would be needs to know before the tour.
The crew loaded us on the first boat but then moved us to a second boat in a different area then realized they were wrong and route us to a third boat. It was very frustrating climbing in an hour turnaround. They were not organized. Waiting for the other guest is like 1 hour and half.
From Coron town to CYC Beach took like 40 mins. This is our first stop for snorkeling and beach. The beach is small and snorkeling is nice. A little crowded. Many sea urchins in this place so be careful. Its a little windy so its kind a cold. There's a little village in front of this island.
We walked to a little trail in a small mountain to see the view. We hike up to the top of this little island and it's beautiful with blue water. Some people using this for bathroom but its also a good pictures spot. I don't know if I would recommend everyone to hike up here.
Second destination is Sunset beach for lunch. From CYC beach to Sunset beach took 20 minutes.
The beach is small but better than CYC beach. Its for lunch, snorkeling and swimming. They have fresh coconut juice for 50 pesos each, you can eat the coconut flesh to try, its very delicious.
The lunch is ready, they have vegetables, grilled fish, chicken adobo, cucumber, seaweeds and watermelon. After lunch we walked around beach under the trees. The rocks are like a knives.
Some other boats are finished and head out. Our boat is little behind the schedule because people came very late.
From Sunset beach to Hidden Lagoon took 30 minutes.
They called it Hidden Lagoon because the lagoon was hidden by the rocks. You cannot identify until when you get closer. The water is clear with color green. It's windy but warm in the water.
Our last destination is Kayangan Lake. From Hidden Lagoon to Kayangan lake took 30 minutes.
Don't miss the view of the Kayangan Lake entrance which is very popular and the view is amazing. There's a little cave also. After taking pictures you need to continue walking down to the lake.
The lake is like 70% fresh water and 30% saltwater.

- Kayangan Lake Coron Island and surrounding waters is an ancestral domain of the indigenous Tagbanua people and its covered by the indigenous people rights RA (8371) of 1997.
Most the destinations we went are just around Coron island. This island hopping cost only 750 pesos I would recommend to try other tour agency for a better tour package.
The tour was okay not really fun like the other tour packages in my previews post. Don't forget to return the snorkel and mask. You can take a tricycle going back to your hotel or just walked.
Thank you so much for dropping by..
I hope you guys
