Sailing Snorkeling and Swimming in Coron Palawan

It's been over 2 weeks since we came back from our Palawan trip. I must say it was really enjoyable and unforgettable experience that I'm still hungover from it. I was so happy to be back at one of my most favorite place in the Philippines and this time Khenzie was with us so it made the trip even more unforgettable. 

I wanted this trip to be stress free so i just availed of the services of our hotel Sunrise Pension House.

Touchdown Busuanga

We landed in Busuanga Airport around 10:30 am via Cebu Pacific Air. From the waiting area our driver approached us then we boarded into the air- conditioned van and headed off Coron town.

The travel time took about 30 minutes. Driving through this Jurassic Park -esque was very nice. Mountains after mountains with thousands of birds and cattle roaming freely.  :D

Shortly after we arrive at the hotel it started raining really hard that all we could do was to stay in our room and watch tv. For our dinner, Mommy Glo (the owner) cooked a very delicious dinner for us, spicy crab cooked with coconut milk, squid and pork adobo.

 

Day 2 .....

While Ryan decided to do some wreck diving Clinton and I decided to do the Coron Island Tour. The tour includes 5 sites.

1. Kayangan Lake my most favorite spot in Coron. Please click the link for more pictures of Kayangan Lake.

I feel so blessed having been able to see places like this with the loves of my life.

Matukad Island

Matukad Island has powedery white sand beach. The sand is so fine it feels like stepping on a powdered milk. The tour guide informed us that there is also a lagoon behind the rock formations but i wasn't that brave to climb the sharp rocks.

Coconut girl ;D

Basking in the Sun

Ryan and i enjoyed a day of basking in the sun at Caramoan Islands, or in my case sheltering in the shade whenever it's possible :D I just don't really like getting dark plus i want to bask in the rays the safe way. ;) First island that we visited was Lahos Island. The beach is in between of a very similar limestone formations and you can enter on both ways. They said that during high tide the white sandy beach disappears that's why they call it Laho which is the tagalog word for that.

Tayak Lagoon in Caramoan

Tayak Lagoon is probably my most favorite on our island hopping at Caramoan. This stunning emerald green lagoon is nestled behind Tayak beach. You can enter by trekking on a slippery trail and sharp cliffs but our tour guide told me that you can also enter by swimming underneath the rocks on the side of the beach.

The place is so serene and peaceful. It was such a treat too that we had this beautiful place all to ourselves. While Ryan was enjoying swimming i just sat there staring up in awe of all the huge limestone cliffs that surrounds us.

Caramoan Island

 I absolutely cannot wait until our Caramoan Island trip.

I feel like i am going to fall in love with the place hard and not gonna want to leave. 

It is only 3 days away from now so my mind is just filled with thoughts of all the beautiful thing that would make our vacation unforgettable. Island hopping, pristine beaches, kayaking and snorkeling.

We will be staying at Gota Village Resort. It is the most beautiful resort in the island so far. The resorts has hosted all the Survivor reality tv shows executives and crew whenever the show is being held in an island.
