I would say Coron is the best place I’ve been to in my entire life.

The food, locals, laid back environment and everything about it. It’s actually my first time to visit and my last trip of the year 2015.

We arrived in Busuanga airport around eight in the morning via Skyjet. We booked our ticket last week of October and we got it for P3,300 round trip already. It was just a 35-minutes flight from Manila. You can also check flights from Cebu Pacific Air and PAL. I know flights to Coron are a bit expensive but I tell you it’s worth it. Better if you avail seat sale or Piso sale.

After getting our backpacks, we took van going to Coron town, fare is P150 one way. We have reservation in one of the best hotel but we look for hostel or cheaper room and we found Kimberly’s. The manager permitted us do check in early since the room is already vacant. Our room is good for 4 persons for only P1,500 per night with aircon, TV, hot & cold shower. After that we had our lunch and went back and prep for the next activity.
