Coron: Coron Wonders|Day 3


Interchanging our itinerary for days 2 and 3 was a good call. The weather was not as friendly on our 3rd day and according to Kuya Dennis and Oliver, it would have been a bumpy boat ride had we gone to Malcapuya.

Coron Loop

Our first stop was Siete Pecados
We then head to Calachuchi beach but we decided not to dock. There was no fee to visit the beach and there was no maintenance, hence, the clutter.

The waves in this area were too strong to keep the camera steady.
So we just stopped and ate our morning custard cake snack.
Our next stop was said to be the cleanest lake in Asia, Kayangan Lake.

Kayangan Lake/Cave

Heading to the Lake...


Some took their lunch at Kayangan. It was also the only stop where there's an actual comfort room.


You would be trekking up to the Cave then down to the lagoon.




The stone steps were a bit slippery, especially with the mix of rain and red mud.

Entrance to the Cave.
Going down to the lagoon.
Almost there...

Judging from the crystal clear waters, it'a easy to see why it tagged as one of the cleanest lakes in Asia.



Not only fishes are bountiful in the area, but small snails as well.

The trek back up.

Vivian Beach
Vivian beach where we took our lunch was our next stop.





Lunch Time

My favorite. Fresh sea weeds salad.

 More of Vivian Beach...



One of the Island residents :)

Barracuda Lake
It was Barracuda Lake after lunch.







Instead of climbing and trekking up the limestone formations for 15 to 20 minutes like how i've seen it on television features before, there is now a walkway to make it easier for visitors to go to the lake.



The Lake...

Barracuda Lake is actually good for diving...and water jump shots.
Jump shot with kuya Dennis!


Going back up to head to our next destination.


The Twin Lagoon
The twin lagoon was the first stop where I took a dip in the cold water. It was low tide and the only way to go to the other side was to swim through the rock crevice. 



 The other side of the lagoon.
 Way to the other side on a high tide.

The Skeleton Wreck
One of the Wreck Diving sites in Coron, the Skeleton Wreck was our final stop.

I was excited to see the wreckage, hence I was more than willing to take a dip to see the skeleton wreck on our next stop. 


It was raining really hard on our way back, but the hop was definitely worth it that we were already planning our next trip before we're even back to our hotel.


We experienced the beauty or Coron in the rain, we're looking forward to go back and see it basking in sunshine.

For our tour, we'll have Coron Wonders arrange our next, hopefully, sunny Coron trip. They definitely made our trip fun (with Kuya Dennis and Oliver) and easy (with Tatay Sergio). Thanks Coron Wonders! See you soon!
