Brief
- Coron is best known for island-hopping, limestone lagoons, Kayangan Lake, Barracuda Lake, Maquinit Hot Spring, coral gardens and World War II shipwreck diving. Allow buffer time for boat excursions, as sea conditions can affect schedules.
- Try fresh seafood, kinilaw, grilled fish, cashew products, buko juice and Palawan delicacies such as tamilok. Choose busy, hygienic eateries and ensure seafood is thoroughly prepared.
- Boat trips and diving are often the main logistics consideration: use licensed operators, check weather and sea conditions, and follow local guidance on currents, snorkeling areas and wreck-diving experience requirements.
Safety and health
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites because dengue and Zika occur in the Philippines. Use repellent, wear long sleeves when practical, and take extra precautions if pregnant or planning pregnancy. (

- Malaria risk exists in non-urban parts of Palawan. Discuss whether preventive medication is appropriate for your itinerary, particularly for rural or forested areas, and use mosquito protection. (

- Avoid untreated freshwater and muddy water, especially after heavy rain. This reduces exposure to schistosomiasis and melioidosis; cover cuts and wounds, and use bottled or properly treated drinking water. (
- Drink sealed bottled water and be cautious with ice, roadside drinks and pre-cut fruit. Buko juice is safest when prepared hygienically and without questionable ice. (
- A yellow-fever certificate is required for travellers aged 9 months or older arriving from a country with yellow-fever transmission, including qualifying airport transits of more than 12 hours. It is not required for direct travel from the United States and is not generally recommended for travel to the Philippines. (
Recent News
- The Lind Coron is planned to open in 2027, with 91 rooms and villas, restaurants, wellness facilities, event spaces and a dive centre. The development is expected to add accommodation and excursion capacity near Coron’s marine attractions. (
