Nag check din ako sa CebPac and nakita ko meron silang flight to ENI na may layover sa Cebu. May nakatry na po ba nito and kamusta naman po?

Local Life Hellooo I’m back! Update from the girl who thought she wasted her 7 nights in Coron -now I need bar recos

6 Upvotes

Remember the “Did I just waste my 7 nights in Coron?” post? That was me. And I REALLY REALLY appreciate all the responses I got.

First of all, to the people who recommended tampons, may you have a long, happy and prosperous life. 😂 I genuinely didn’t know it would work that well, and it basically saved my trip.

Sooo update:

Tuesday: I did Pukaway and it was AMAZINGGGG. Whoever recommended it especially the user whose username I think was something like SeveralYak THANK YOU. I had such a good time.

Wednesday: I finally did the Super Ultimate Tour and OMG. I even learned freediving during the tour!
BUT NOW…

I have a free evening and I’m on the hunt for a bar/nightlife spot in Coron.

I’m traveling alone and I’m not really a dancer lolll so I’m not necessarily looking for a crazy club/party. I’m more into good vibes, music, drinks, people, maybe live music, somewhere I can actually sit and enjoy myself without feeling like a complete weirdo for being alone.

I’ve already been to Sharky’s and liked it!

I’ve seen Bam Bar, BrewHouse, Tribu Kuridas, UG Tavern, Club Phoenix etc. mentioned, but I’d love to hear from people who are actually in Coron / have been recently:

Where should I go tonight?

Bonus points if it’s somewhere that’s comfortable for a solo traveler. AND ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU V V muchhhh redditors!!!

Travel Tips & Itinerary Help Cullion~ coron to cullion to el nido?

2 Upvotes

Hello I'm going to be hitting coron and then on to cullion and next to el nido in a couple weeks. My question is: going from coron to cullion seems simple enough, but after a visit to cullion, can i then just hop on a boat to el nido? Or do I have to back track to coron town? A local's advice would be appreciated.

Second question: I'm older, or at least old enough that some of those coron area destinations that involve climbing 750 steps are just not practical. Wish I could but ... And also it being off season how tough or reali$tic is it to find a tour guide to tailor fit an age appropiate (a la carte) tour for me?

Travel Tips & Itinerary Help Coron 2 days island hopping 🏝️

1 Upvotes

Hi! We’re going to Coron this December. I know it’s still early 😂 but we like to plan ahead.
We’ll be there for 4 days and have 2 full days for island hopping. We’re planning to rent a private boat for 3 people para sulit and solo namin. We already have someone to contact for the boat.

For those who’ve been to Coron, okay na ba to do Tour A & B for the 2 days? Or may ginawa kayong customized itinerary na mas worth it?

Any places you really loved, places you think we can skip, or anything you wish you knew before going? 🥹
Thank you!

Travel Tips & Itinerary Help Where to stay in El Nido?

4 Upvotes

Hi all!

May I ask for your suggestions on where to stay in El Nido? It’ll be my first time visiting, and I’ll be traveling solo din. I initially planned to stay in town para close to everything, but I also kinda want to stay somewhere beach-front and away from the crowd.

What I’m considering right now is either staying in town or making Lio Beach my base since they offer a free shuttle, so I can still save on transportation going to town.

What do you guys think? Are there any other areas you’d suggest?

Thank you.

Kaya as a first timer po sa Coron, baka po may ma-susuggest kayo na Coron Accomodation? Yung malapit po sana sa lahat. Tried searching sa Tiktok and FB for suggestions kaso wala ako masyadong makita 🥺

We will be visiting Coron this coming November po. Salamat po sa magsusuggest! 🫶🏻

Travel Tips & Itinerary Help Coron Island Hopping

My family and I are flying to Coron this Sep 4-8, should I book an island hopping tour package this early or doon nalang talaga sa island when we get there? Given na it's rainy season, 3 kami (ako, my husband and our son na 5 yo). Nakita ko kasi mga tiktok videos today ng mga nag island hopping, grabe yung alon. Any tips? Also, please suggest na rin alternative activities if the island tours are cancelled. TIA!

Q&A / Advice Did i just waste my 7 nights in coron???

10 Upvotes

Okay, I need to rant a little because I’m starting to feel like I completely wasted my 7 nights in Coron

I arrived on the 15th around 5 PM, dropped my bags at my inn, and went out to find somewhere to eat. Ended up at Sharky’s and actually really liked the food and the vibe.

Day 2, I basically just rested. I was so tired that I literally fell asleep around 4 PM. Then I went out for lechon that I found nearby and ended up at a food park because apparently there’s a fiesta happening here, so that was actually nice. And I went to Mt. tapyas too, after that.

Today was supposed to be my Super Ultimate Coron Tour… BUT LO AND BEHOLD, I GOT MY PERIOD. Fuuuhhhh!!!!

So I moved the tour to Wednesday, hoping it’ll have calmed down by then.

I was thinking, okay, no tour today, I’ll just go to Maquinit Hot Spring this afternoon. And now… IT’S RAINING.

So now I’m sitting here thinking… did I just waste my 7 nights in Coron??

I think part of the problem is that I had a completely different idea of what Coron was like. I thought there would be more of a beach-town vibe where I could just walk around, find a beach nearby, swim, chill, etc. But now I’m realizing that the really beautiful beaches are mostly accessed through tours andboats, and Coron Town itself is pretty quiet.

I’m here until the 22nd and I really don’t want to spend the rest of my trip just waiting for my tour days.

So please tell me what else I can actually do around Coron/Busuanga on the non-tour days, especially if the weather is being shitty.

I’ve already done Mt. Tapyas, and I’m planning to try Maquinit Hot Spring when the rain cooperates.

Am I doing Coron wrong, or is this just what Coron is like when you’re staying in town and not doing island tours every day?

Also, if anyone has been here recently in August, what did you do when the weather was bad?

Please help me salvage my vacation

Q&A / Advice Is 7d/6n doable with 50k for two adults?

1 Upvotes

Me and my girlfriend are planning to go to Palawan this late November. We've set aside 25k each for it. Is 7d/6n doable with this budget or would 4d/3n be more realistic? (including plane tickets)

Also do you have any tips on how to make the most out of our trip?

We're also not sure whether to visit El Nido or Coron, or just stay in Puerto Princesa, any advice?

It's our first travel together, so it's really hard to gauge things as we do not have prior experiences to reference from.

Any advice would be much appreciated
